BARCELONA I had planned to end the weekend by going to the theatre but had forgotten that in Spain's second-largest city theatres have only one show on Sunday and it tends to be in the afternoon. Having missed it, I decided, instead, to watch one of the most talked about movies of the year, "Parasite" by Korean director Bong Joon-ho. To say I was mesmerized wouldn't do justice to this exceptional movie: part comedy, part thriller, part drama, it brings a very subtle take on the class struggle.

Organizations are constantly asking themselves “What do our employees want?” And if they’re not asking that question, they should be. The answer helps organizations create a workplace that employees want to be a part of. That aids employee engagement. It helps companies create jobs and programs that employees enjoy. It also allows employees to do their best work (and, no, not more creative loafing).

What if just one change to your workplace culture could foster employee engagement, boost productivity, strengthen teams, and positively impact your company’s bottom line? Does this sound too good to be true? Case studies prove otherwise. Employee recognition is already known to improve worker satisfaction and boost retention rates, but it’s the spiral effect of frequent appreciation that makes a huge impact on business outcomes.

Did you know employees are three times more likely to be engaged at work if they have managers who hold regular meetings with them? While many managers do hold 1-on-1 meetings with their direct reports, it’s far too common that they are rushed, tactical, and transactional. When organizations are able to conduct transformational 1-on-1s, performance, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement are significantly boosted.

A job title says a lot about a person, his creativity, and his attitude towards the job. It is a description of an employee's duties and role in the position. Though every field uses similar terms, there is a slight variation in terms of corporate structures. In the present world of fierce competition for jobs and employment opportunities, creative job titles go a long way to attract the attention of employers and companies.

It’s hard to put a value on talent. While talent is technically a renewable resource (when an employee leaves, they can be replaced), there is no guarantee the new hire will be as strong a contributor to the organization (of course, they could bring even more to the table!). That is why most companies focus on retaining the employees they have. Still, employee turnover is unavoidable, especially in periods of low unemployment and when jobs are plentiful.

Constructive feedback is a positive and negative observation of performance given in a manner that the person receiving it is ready to do better in both cases. Praising or criticizing someone should not be mixed up with constructive feedback. A harsh reprimand or a pat-on-the-back for some well-performed task works short term. Appreciation or criticism needs to be validated in some form for it to register and give results.
