What is Employee Engagement? And why we should be worried!

Employee engagement can be defined as the emotional and functional commitment an employee has to their organisation, and to the vision, mission, objectives and goals of that organisation.

Put simply, your employee engagement level is a yardstick for how emotionally motivated, committed, and connected people are to their work.

This engagement is critical, it results in higher financial performance, higher customer satisfaction and higher employee retention.

The search for new and better ways to engage employees, enhance efficiency, increase profitability and delight customers and stakeholders will continue regardless of current market conditions.

Effective Employee Engagement includes communicating attitudes and values and often increasing levels of corporate integrity whilst establishing a vision and building a framework around which employees can contribute to that vision.

Organisations can see great benefit from an increased understanding of the underlying motivations of their workforce, developing teamwork, increasing communications throughout the organisation and ensuring that all supervisors and managers have the right tools with which to engage their teams.
