What Is
Employee Engagement?
Employee
engagement is a human resources (HR) concept that describes the level of
enthusiasm and dedication a worker feels toward their job. Engaged employees
care about their work and about the performance of the company, and feel that
their efforts make a difference. An engaged employee is in it for more than a
paycheck and may consider their well-being linked to their performance, and
thus instrumental to their company's success

Employee Performance & Engagement
Think of the highest performing, most engaged employee you have ever encountered. What motivated them to show up each day with the same inspired attitude? Chances are, it was more than their base pay.

Combine that with a troubling labor shortage, and the situation becomes clear: you need to do everything you can to attract and retain the best talent possible. It’s the only way to consistently drive success in your organization.
Of course,
this usually means offering the best options possible in terms of compensation
and benefits packages. But that alone is not enough to retain talented
employees. Employee engagement is something that happens at the cultural level
