Embracing employee engagement
Employee engagement describes the level of enthusiasm and dedication a worker feels toward their job. Engagement is often measured on the employee’s contribution to the company and how satisfied a worker feels with their job role.
An engaged employee cares about their work and about the performance of the company; a disengaged employee will feel unenthusiastic and demotivated, which is detrimental to business if the worker no longer ‘gives their all’.
Benefits of good employee engagement
