What is Employee Engagement?

Engaged employees are fully involved in their workplace and its vision. They are enthusiastic about their work and feel they are a vital part of the organization and its success.

There is a higher level of trust between employees and managers, which helps lead to increased job retention.

Studies have also shown organizations with high levels of employee engagement tend to be:

• more profitable
• more flexible
• better able to meet demands
• utilize resources more efficiently
• better poised to respond to their customers
• more able to deal with constantly increasing demands and change

Columbus Area Labor-Management Committee helps organizations develop strategies to maximize the involvement of employees in improving the work system.

A workplace cultural assessment can also be done to provide a benchmark to determine the effectiveness of the employee engagement process.
