Employee Engagement

 

 

Having a committed and engaged workforce is an important part to achieve the organizations goal, targets . Organizations treat employees as its capital, there for managing human capital to a productive pathway should be more defined and planned. A study by Maniam Kaliannana, Samuel Narh Adjovu on the Effective employee engagement and organizational success: a case study express few important points about employee engagement, making employees to feel the job and actively involved in the job is very much changeable. Employee engagement is based on trust, integrity, two way commitment and communication between an organization and its members. It is an approach that increases the chances of business success, contributing to organizational and individual performance, Productivity and well-being. It varies from poor to great. It can be nurtured and dramatically increased. (Armstrong, 2000)Employee engagement is about positive attitudes and behaviors leading to improved business outcomes, in a way that they trigger and reinforce one another. Employee engagement is about our employees feeling pride and loyalty working for our organization, being a great advocate of the organization to our clients, users and customers, going the extra mile to finish a piece of work further about drawing on our employees’ knowledge and ideas to improve our products and services, and be innovative about how we work,  it’s  about drawing out a deeper commitment from our employees so fewer leave, sick absence reduces, accident rates decline, conflicts and grievances go down, productivity increases. Tower Watson studied 50 firms over a period of one year and this was what they found: organizations with high employee engagement had 19 percent increase in operating income and about 28 percent earnings per share (EPS) growth. Inversely, those with low employee engagement levels experienced more than 32 percent drop in operating income and 11 percent decline in EPS (McConnell, 2011) Well Fargo Company found in a research study to ascertain internal drivers to business outcomes a correlation between high employee engagement scores and business productivity. This leads to chain of positive effects that gets customer satisfaction involved in the equation (Tett, and Meyer, 1993). The terms ‘job satisfaction’, ‘motivation’ and ‘commitment’ are generally being replaced now in business by ‘engagement’ because it appears to have more descriptive force and face validity.
