Employee Engagement
Employee engagement is described in many ways. Generally it is defined as a positive attitude that an employee has towards their organisation and its values. It’s also described as the extent to which employees are motivated, positive about doing a good job and actively seek to be involved in work related improvements.
Engaged employees are more likely to:
- have a desire to give their best
- demonstrate higher levels of innovation, creativity and customer service
- believe in their organisation and its values
- be willing to help their colleagues.
Managers have a key role to play in engaging the people that work for them.
