High levels of employee engagement have long been linked to improved business outcomes, including increased retention, higher productivity rates and lower absenteeism.
Despite these benefits, many employers still struggle to maintain meaningful engagement levels with their workers. If your company wants to improve its hiring and workforce management outcomes, making employee engagement a priority may help.
This blog takes a closer look at what employee engagement is and what factors impact it.
Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text
We can define employee engagement as the level of commitment and enthusiasm your workers have toward the company. Don’t confuse engagement with job satisfaction, which solely measures employees’ level of happiness on the job. Employees can be happy with their job duties and working conditions and still feel disengaged in the workplace.
Why is employee engagement so important? Because engaged employees tend to be more:
optimistic
productive
team-oriented
hard-working
willing to contribute positively to the company
With barely one-in-five workers stating that they are engaged in the workplace, the rise of ‘Quiet Quitting’ should come as no surprise. These disengaged employees don’t have the same investment in the company or the company’s success. All too often, disengaged workers are satisfied with completing the bare minimum and then going home.
At a time when talent scarcity and the growing skills gap are putting added pressure on companies to meet production demands, such a high level of disengagement is not sustainable. It’s crucial to take steps now to improve engagement throughout the workplace
