Incorporating employee engagement into a broader strategy
A recent article in Psychology Today does a nice job of differentiating employee engagement from business results. (In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that it also references our recent Talent Management article on the subject.)
It suggests that, given the general lack of evidence on the relationship between engagement and the bottom line, employers might be wise to reduce their heavy focus on engagement.
Instead, in light of evidence they cite that “productivity was enhanced in workplaces where daily occurrences that bring about joy, interest, and caring that lead to high level of bonding of individuals to each other,” they suggest that oganizations should instead incorporate current employee engagement efforts into a broader strategy of enhancing employee well-being at work.
