Employee engagement
Employee engagement is a workplace approach offering the right conditions for all members of an organisation to give their best each day. Employees are committed to their organisation’s goals and values and motivated to contribute to organisational success. Employee engagement is based on trust, integrity, two way commitment and communication between an organisation and its members. It is an approach that increases the chances of business success, contributing to organisational and individual performance, productivity and well-being. It can be measured. It varies from poor to great. It can be nurtured and dramatically increased; it can be lost and thrown away. Engaged employees give you the edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Engaged employees are a valuable asset, they’re more productive, take fewer days off sick and go that extra mile. In an ever-changing world it’s vital to gauge how motivated your staff are on a regular basis. Disengaged employees are a negative force within any organisation and can adversely effect productivity and staff morale. They can halt the creation of fresh ideas, drive top talent away and have a damaging impact on your bottom line.
