Employee Engagement
The emotional commitment an employee has toward their organization and its goals.
Definition
Employee engagement refers to the degree to which employees feel emotionally invested in, motivated by, and committed to their work and organization. Highly engaged employees tend to exert discretionary effort, stay longer with the organization, and contribute positively to business outcomes. Organizations measure engagement through surveys, pulse checks, and metrics like Net Promoter Score (eNPS), and drive it through strong leadership, recognition, career growth, and a positive culture.
Example
“The company's annual engagement survey showed a jump from 58% to 74% engagement after implementing flexible working policies, a recognition program, and enhanced manager coaching.”
