Give leaders the day-to-day habits that make people stay — in a 2-day engagement programme you can deliver next month.
Employee Engagement Tactics treats engagement as a leadership skill, not an HR survey. Built on the ENGAGE framework, with facilitator guide, slides, workbook, role plays, case studies and assessments — every exercise applied to participants' real teams.
- Six ENGAGE capabilities across two days — from emotional connection to belonging
- Draws on Gallup's Q12, Herzberg, Pink, Csikszentmihalyi's flow and Edmondson's psychological safety research
- Participants leave with an individual engagement plan for every person on their team
- Includes STAR-R recognition practice and a re-engagement conversation for a team member who has drifted
Employee Engagement Tactics Trainer Toolkit by Bodhih Training — built on programmes delivered to 2,000+ companies since 2008.
The workshop is on the calendar. The material isn’t.
The survey came back. Now what?
Leadership wants action on low engagement scores, and L&D is asked for a programme quickly. Turning broad research on engagement into specific leader behaviours — and two days of practice — is a major design job.
Engagement stays an HR topic
Leaders often see engagement as someone else's initiative. The research the programme draws on points squarely at the direct manager, and your sessions need to make that personal without making people defensive.
Motivational talk, no team-level plan
An inspiring day that ends with 'value your people' changes little. What participants need is a motivation map, a recognition habit and a written plan for each individual they lead.
Picture the evening before your programme.
Imagine the opening session. You share the research finding that sits at the heart of this programme — that around 70% of the variance in employee engagement is attributable to the direct manager — and the room goes quiet. Then each participant runs a Q12-based assessment on their own team, and the conversation becomes very real, very quickly.
Through Day 1 they work pillar by pillar: Emotional Connection with each team member as an individual, Needs and Motivation mapped with Herzberg and Pink, Growth and Development through a structured development conversation and the flow zone, then an autonomy audit that shows where they are holding on too tightly.
Day 2 turns to Genuine Recognition with the STAR-R method, Environment and Belonging through Edmondson's psychological safety work, and the conversation many leaders avoid — re-engaging someone who has quietly checked out. The case studies, including a team whose engagement collapsed over eighteen months, show how every step was a leader behaviour, and reversible.
By the close, each leader holds a 30-day team engagement plan — and you'll likely notice how often they start talking about specific people by name rather than 'the team'.

Walk in with data. Walk out with proof.
Trainers who measure before and after design sharper sessions — and get rebooked. AssessAll, our sister assessment platform, has assessments that sit naturally alongside this programme.
Walk in knowing where every participant starts.
Pair Employee Engagement Tactics with an AssessAll assessment. Participants take it before the workshop, so you can tune the emphasis to the room; they retake it afterwards, so you can show the client what actually moved. Better-targeted sessions, and evidence that wins the next booking.

Make the workshop last beyond the room
A workshop is two days; the behaviour change takes months. Jobulary turns assessment evidence into a focused individual development plan (IDP) — a few quarterly objectives built on real work, re-measured honestly. Give every Employee Engagement Tactics participant a plan to carry forward.
IDPs are launching soon — the working demo is free to explore now, no sign-up.

What is the ENGAGE framework for employee engagement?
ENGAGE is the six-part structure of this programme: Emotional Connection, Needs and Motivation, Growth and Development, Autonomy and Trust, Genuine Recognition, and Environment and Belonging. Each pillar is a set of specific leader behaviours, drawing on Gallup's Q12, Herzberg, Pink, Csikszentmihalyi and Edmondson.
Is employee engagement training useful for team leaders, not just HR?
Yes — it is designed for them. The programme is built on the research finding that the direct manager accounts for most of the variance in engagement, so every exercise is applied to the participant's own team.
