To engage your team members, you must write something meaningful to them, and then get a response back. The response may be a written reply back about your statement or it may be an action taken because of the original statement.
To get them to reply, your statement must catch their attention, cause them to think about it, and stir them to action.
Whether you are congratulating a member for a job well done, announcing a contest, explaining new SFI policy, or giving a great tip, you can be engaging and ask them to respond to you.
They can do it very easily by using the comment lines. This allows the Stream to become a type of chat. And you may respond or add to your original statement.
When your team is not responsive, it is very disturbing. Even our doctors tell us when someone is near death that he is not responding to treatment. At that point you must diagnose the cause. Are you too boring, your subjects of little interest or importance? Are you hard to understand? Are they too untrained to see what is important? Have you totally relied on their ability to read and understand the training materials?
Take a hard look at both sides and make changes where they are needed. If something has not been working for awhile, then change it.
