According to Gallup, teams that are highly engaged tend to be 21% more productive. However, many production companies believe that engagement can be increased overnight, which is not the case. Mindful engagement is imperative to form a highly productive team brought together very quickly.
How to build a happy, engaged crew:
- Recognise good work.
- Share project goals & roles clearly.
- Encourage open communication & feedback.
Motivate the Crew:
- Set clear goals & track progress.
- Hold regular team meetings.
- Foster a safe & collaborative environment.
- Recognise individual needs & strengths.
Implement Independent Surveys:
- Regularly measure crew sentiment with 'Eyes On Production' survey.
- Identify areas for improvement and track progress over time.
Why this matters
While these steps may seem easy to follow, implementation is key to addressing and improving areas of concern. The 'Eyes On Production' survey specialises in examining engagement within the production, data storytelling and bringing deep analysis to how it reflects overall productivity and crew satisfaction.
