People are different so is their choices in life. Some may work for life while some enjoys life while performing their jobs.
Most of the employees suffer or lose interest in their work life while few manages to perfectly balance both in a significant manner. One may do their job but it may doesn’t mean that they are engaged to work in true sense. Showing up to work each day and getting along in their routine doesn’t make sense if it is not truly coming from in. So, who enjoys their jobs? It is known as employees who engaged in an organization is a value addition to its people asset.



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.
