When employees are engaged, they are willing to step up to make the organization successful.
Employee Engagement is the extent to which employees believe in what they do and feel, and how they are valued for it. When they are engaged, they are willing to spend their discretionary effort to make the organization successful.
What to know about engaging employees:
- Level of engagement is a leading indicator of productivity and turnover.
- Engagement can be measured by surveys, focus groups, behavioral scales, and conversations.
- Actively disengaged employees cost the organization $3,400 for every $10,000 in salary (Gallup, 2002).
- Deloitte estimates that every percentage point saved in annual turnover saves the firm $400 million.
Employee Engagement measures an employee’s emotional commitment to the organization, including how much effort an employee is willing to put into the work. It’s the difference between “what’s in it for me?” and “what can I do to help?”
