Employee engagement is the exact state of how team members feel determined and attached to their work. And while your job isn’t the main component of your life, it sure does take up a big portion of it.
While there are various definitions of employee engagement, our definition is simple: the level of commitment team members have to their organization and how satisfied they are in their role.
At the core of it, employee engagement is what keeps an organization alive. It’s a workplace approach that provides the best conditions in an organization.
