CHOICE comprises Six Principles of importance to everyone

 

Discoveries by neuroscientists and geneticists support recent research by occupational psychologists - it is intrinsic, rather than extrinsic stick-and-carrot motivation that is actually far more important to engagement.

Six key innate drivers have been identified and need to be met if high engagement levels are to be sustained. The Six Principles of CHOICE (the 6P's) focus on how people are treated at work, enabled to achieve their full potential and managed ethically to build trust and a sense of meaning and purpose.

They are timeless and universal and form the basis of the short MY CHOICE survey, which is at the heart of the Employers of Choice service. 

The Six Principles of CHOICE

CARING ABOUT PEOPLE ensures they feel valued, trusted and appreciated

HONESTY AND FAIRNESS in the way people are treated build their trust and confidence

OPEN COMMUNICATION nourishes a positive and productive environment

INVOLVING PEOPLE instils a sense of contribution and autonomy, strengthening their personal commitment

COACHING AND ASSISTING people to grow and realise their potential is win/win

ETHICAL PRACTICE in pursuit of a worthwhile purpose reinforces belief in the organisation
