Why is this Important?
Clear understanding of how employees’ jobs contribute to the company can greatly benefit both the employees and the organization.
Employees who believe their contributions matter are much more likely to bring passion to their jobs and invest extra effort.
Employees who don’t believe their contributions matter tend to feel less valued and out of alignment with the company’s direction and high-level goals. This can negatively impact motivation, performance and satisfaction.

Individual Meetings
Regular feedback and discussion result in strong alignment and sense of purpose. Check-ins can happen weekly, monthly, or quarterly. Each employee should have the opportunity to have 1:1 time for meaningful discussions that cover more than mere status updates. Make these meetings count to enhance employee engagement and commitment.
