They need to be thinking of new ways to keep employees engaged in order to increase job satisfaction, productivity, and retention. One of the growing factors in employee engagement is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gethppy.com\/leadership\/neuroscience-in-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neuroscience.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Neuroscience, the study of the nervous system, can inform leaders about processes involved with their own leadership, but also about the minds of their employees. Curious to know how you can improve employee engagement using\u00a0neuroscience?<\/p>\n<p>Because the brain is plastic, it is always adjusting and adapting based on the environment. When you create\u00a0supportive and collaborative environments, the brains of employees can\u00a0process the information easier, leading to more effective change. But if the brains of employees perceive things as threats, comfort, motivation, and satisfaction decrease.<\/p>\n<p>By knowing more about the brain,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.executiveforums.com\/resource.php?rID=1075&amp;rType=A&amp;osCsid=jf05gqppcr2m2vfiblbl95ttv5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">you can learn to limit threats<\/a>. Often, those threats can come from the normal business practices of assessment, feedback, and evaluation. Because of the lasting negative impacts threats have on our brains, you also have to\u00a0learn to decrease the amount of threats in the workplace, in order\u00a0improve employee engagement and motivation.<\/p>\n<h2>The SCARF Model<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. David Rock is a neuroscientist who has created a model for improving the relationship between leaders and employees. He calls this model\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.your-brain-at-work.com\/files\/NLJ_SCARFUS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCARF<\/a>. This model stems from research that states the brain is always trying to minimize threats and maximize rewards. Moreover, social experiences follow the same reward and threat pathways in the brain that other primary needs follow.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"sumo_twilighter_highlighted twilighter-2aac9eb\">Imagine one of our ancient ancestors coming across a<\/span>\u00a0new creature, plant, or water source. The brain would interpret the unknown thing as threating or safe and react accordingly. While modern humans are often not in that same position, social experiences follow the same pathways. Dr. Rock uses the SCARF acronym to explain these social forces.<\/p>\n<p>S \u2013 Status<\/p>\n<p>C \u2013 Certainty<\/p>\n<p>A \u2013 Autonomy<\/p>\n<p>R \u2013 Relatedness<\/p>\n<p>F \u2013 Fairness<\/p>\n<h3>Read the explanation of the five elements in the original <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gethppy.com\/employee-engagement\/employee-engagement-using-neuroscience\">article<\/a>.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Deel van een artikel van Andy Nelson op gethppy.com Improve Employee Engagement Using Neuroscience Employee engagement can be a constant struggle for many leaders.
