According to the a few ways to successfully implement short-term wins in your initiative:

Set short-term goals: Short-term wins are only possible if you set short-term milestones, or goals. If an entire change program has a three-year timeline, then segment that timeline. Create shorter goals that can be achieved in 3, 6, 9, or 12 months. Celebrate wins: Short-term wins must be celebrated to get results. This will enhance the impact and help employees feel better about the change program. You do not have to hold big parties each time you complete a goal. But it must make an impact. The result will be more engagement and productivity. Present rewards: Recognition, bonuses, social activities, and other rewards can deepen the impact of a short-term win. In fact, without rewards, it won't feel like much of a win so brainstorm ways to reward employees for their efforts. Review, rinse, and repeat; Each time you complete a milestone and celebrate it, evaluate your efforts. Learn what worked, what didn't, and what you can improve upon. Each time you do this, you will make your short-term wins more productive and effective.

It is important to remember that short-term wins are not the only way to improve engagement.
