Employee engagement was
firstly appeared as a managerial concept where it is known as motivation,
emotional commitment and involvement that an employee has towards the
organization. It is a fundamental concept of understanding the employee
relationships in a quantitative and qualitative measures. It drives employees
for better performance. Employee engagement is differing from happiness or
satisfaction. As an example, individuals who are engaged towards job doesn’t
work for salaries or next promotion etc. but they work on behalf of the
organization in a mind of achieving its goals and objectives.
Engaged employees are
an asset to an organization where they provide high end quality service which
leads to productivity, customer satisfaction, extended sales, higher profits
roading to better return on investments. They are passionately adding value to
the company while pro-actively participating in achieving organization mission.
Their interactions with
coworkers, professional attitudes are significant in healthy and harmonious
work relationships. Employee’s who are engaged has higher levels of enthusiasm
who are experiencing a better-quality work life. Few measurements can be used
to identify the level of engagement among the workforce. The tool can be used
is employee engagement surveys which can cover up the aspects such as learning
and development, leadership, service and quality focus etc. where
questionnaires can reveal the results.
It is considered that
two main facts affect employee engagement. One is engagement with the
organization where the second is engagement with the immediate manager. Organizational
engagement can be differed with culture of engagement and strategic alignment
where matching of personal and organizational objectives. Especially an
individual must be clarified on purpose and direction of organizational goals
and objectives.
Engagement with the
manager, reveals motivation and relationships as well as managing execution.
This is the essential fact that employees must be addressed. That is, does
manager excel in people skills? Proper and an effective communication in
employee engagement dynamics are vital. Employees who feel a part of community
tends to feel a sense of belonginess within the organization.
HR practitioners and
management must ensure a great workplace with flexible, caring and a
stimulating platform in an organization rather than a salary based tired routine
workplace. Because it is an internal state of mind bounded by physical, mental
and emotional well-being. Proper addressing of employee engagement is
advantageous to a business because a disengaged employee may perform minimum
work, damages the company's work output and reputation and also leading to
higher turnover in the organization.
Employee engagement has
to be top down and an ongoing process with engagement principles matched to
organizational culture and behavior. Not only that it helps to retain the best
talent without risking on losing them.
