Employee Engagement

 

WHAT IS EMLOYEE ENGAGMENT?




This is about how we create the conditions in which employees offer more of their capability and potential” (MacLeod 2019).

Employee engagement is a workplace approach that creates the appropriate conditions for all employees to give their best every day, devoted to their organization's aims and values, motivated to contribute to organizational success, and feeling better about themselves (What is Employee Engagement - Engage for Success, 2022).

WHAT IS EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT YOU AND ME AS EMPLOYEES?

Employee engagement is thinking to yourself in the morning, "Wow, I'm going to work." I've decided what I'll do today. I've got some terrific suggestions for how to do it properly. I'm excited to visit the team and assist them in their efforts today."

Employee engagement is about knowing one's place in an organization and being able to see and feel where it fits into the organization's mission and goals.

 Employee engagement is defined as having a clear grasp of how an organization fulfills its purpose and objectives, how it is changing to better achieve those objectives, and being given a voice in that journey to contribute ideas and express perspectives that are considered as decisions are made.

 It's all about employee engagement (What is Employee Engagement - Engage for Success, 2022).


WHAT EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IS NOT!

Employee engagement cannot be achieved through a mechanistic method that manipulates employees' commitment and emotions in order to extract discretionary effort. Employees can soon see through such methods and become cynical and disillusioned (What is Employee Engagement - Engage for Success, 2022).

WHY IS EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SO IMPORTANT?

Keeping your people interested is likely the most difficult task you face as a manager. It's also a great way to get your team's long-term commitment and discretionary effort. This endeavor will result in increased revenue and fewer errors.

There is mounting evidence that increasing employee engagement can dramatically improve a company's performance in a number of critical areas, including:

Profitability

Productivity

Innovation in Customer Satisfaction

Safety and Health

Illness and Disappearance

Turnover and Employee Happiness

However, in order to accomplish this, your engagement initiatives must be in line with your broader business plan. It's a waste of time and resources to implement unplanned ideas and actions that you believe might assist without monitoring or measuring their impact (Employee Engagement - Introduction, 2022).

 BUSINESS COMMITMENT TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Before launching into "How" you're going to do it, you should be clear on "What" you want to accomplish in your firm. Your HR department is critical in developing and implementing an employee engagement strategy that is in line with your company's objectives.

HR has a far more strategic job within a firm, as we pointed out in a recent post, and should be involved in the business planning process to ensure profitability. Because the HR function is fundamentally cross-functional, it wields considerable power over the people who will ultimately carry out the strategy (Employee Engagement - Introduction, 2022).

THIS IS WHY EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT

Employee engagement statistics show that about two-thirds of all employees are disengaged. It's something that pollsters like Gallup measure every year. And has remained stable at this level for the past two decades. Many studies say that engaged employees are 17 percent more productive than other employees, and there are numerous publications concerning the influence of job engagement, particularly disengagement.

Based on my personal experience, I believe this is an understatement. I've taken over multiple teams where the majority of the members were disengaged and turned them around, seeing performance improvements of 50-500 percent and turning failing projects into successes. I made this to try to demonstrate the true impact of engagement (This is Why Employee Engagement is Important - Gordontredgold, 2022).

Employees that are engaged are more likely to be motivated and satisfied in their jobs, to contribute to higher productivity, and to stay with the organization for a longer period of time. well done
