 The term "rules of engagement" evolved during wartime to define the appropriate responses of military personnel engaged in combat. Since then, the term has been used in relation to everything from dating to sports. In the workplace, rules of engagement may refer to appropriate behavior for both management and workers in the course of doing business. Though no standard rules of engagement exist for the workplace, management and workers should consider several areas of concern. Rules for Supervisors Supervisors should be clear about what they expect from employees. Employees perform better when they have a clear idea of their job duties and the standards to which the company will hold them. Employers should regularly review employee performance. Employers should neither play favorites nor discriminate. Employers shouldn't use their position to intimidate or sexually harass employees. 92% of conflict is mis alignment ... it's easily fixed with agreement on core values and Priorities and values Rules for EmployeesBy the same token, when employees have a problem with the boss, talking about it behind the boss's back doesn't solve the problem and may only cause morale to fall. It's better to confront the problem with the boss. Employees should perform the duties expected of them. They shouldn't steal from the company, harass co-workers or take credit for others' work. Engaging EmployeesCompanies should do what they can to make employees feel empowered by involving them in decision making and keeping them informed. Employees who are involved in decision making and feel they have a stake in the company perform better and can help the company perform better. The Wall Street Journal reports that a 2004 study of 300 companies found that companies whose employees reported feeling engaged in their jobs were more profitable than companies where employees said they weren't particularly engaged. Communication Good communication lies behind all these rules of engagement, from communicating expectations to educating employees as to the company's mission and their part in the mission. Keeping employees informed of company milestones and sharing both good and bad news will keep employees engaged in their work and help prevent potential problems.
