It is necessary to implement employee engagement management immediately after the team is formed and subsequently, as the business expands.
Stage of team formation
There is an important principle at work here – you need to hire those specialists who are going to work specifically for your company. Unlike those who just need a position, they already feel involved because they want to get into this particular team.
Adaptation period
A company grows only when it line database develops. This means that at some point you will have to expand your staff. To help newcomers get used to it faster and gain confidence, you need to take certain actions:
provide everyone with an experienced mentor;
hold periodic discussions to find out opinions;
If necessary, contact the employee's relatives.

Such events improve the company's reputation and increase the employees' goodwill towards it. To maintain close ties between colleagues, it is quite enough for the entire department to simply go to the cinema or a performance.
