Employee satisfaction refers to the contentment and happiness an employee feels in their work environment. It is a measure of their overall job satisfaction.
On the other hand, employee engagement goes beyond satisfaction and focuses on the emotional connection, commitment, and active involvement an employee has toward their work and the organization.
Engaged employees are passionate, motivated, and fully invested in their roles, resulting in higher productivity and performance. While satisfaction is about how employees feel, engagement reflects their level of involvement and dedication to their work.
