An employees’ level of commitment to their daily tasks and a company’s overall success is referred to as employee engagement. A positive emotional connection to the organisation and a sense of purpose in their work goes beyond employee happiness in engaged workers.
Teams with higher employee engagement saw a reduction in adverse outcomes like turnover and absenteeism and a significant boost in organisational success, according to Gallup’s 2020 study on employee engagement and performance. According to the findings, companies with strong employee engagement had 18% more sales productivity, a 10% increase in customer loyalty and attention, and a 23% increase in profitability.
To the point, organisations create employee engagement programs to specify and rank their initiatives for enhancing employee engagement. It allows for identifying the primary determinants of employee engagement, determining the employees’ pain spots, and developing specialised efforts to address those pain points.
