What is Employee Engagement?

a. Definition from Wikipedia:
Employee engagement is a concept that is generally viewed as managing discretionary effort.

b. Definition from IES:
Employee engagement is a positive attitude held by the employee towards the organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of the business context and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement, which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee.

Features of Employee Engagement:

• Understanding of the business context and the 'bigger picture'
• Respectful of and helpful to colleagues

Difference Between Employee Engagement and Employee Satisfaction:

Employee engagement is what we get when an employee is motivated by the job, successful in the job, well-managed by the supervisor, and paid fairly by management. Employee satisfaction is what we get when we give employees things they want. An employee may be fully satisfied but unsuccessful.
