Employee Engagement

The term ‘employee engagement’ refers to the employee’s commitment to and involvement in the organization and their degree of identification with the organization's goals and values. This is a theoretical concept which, when broadly defined, describes the emotional connection between the worker and the workplace.

 

Employee engagement reflects the degree of identification with the company's goals, values, and products, and the employee’s motivation to do the job the best they can, in order to pursue company goals. A high level of employee engagement expresses enthusiasm, commitment and motivation to meet the goals in order to help the company succeed.

 

Employees who are engaged in the organization are more productive; they create a positive impact on customer satisfaction and company profitability; are more enthusiastic about their work and less likely to quit their job.
