Why is ‘Employee Engagement’ such a big deal?

Engagement occurs when an employee is committed to his/her organization’s goals and    values , and actively is involved with the company’s success, both contributing to the employee’s self-esteem.  According to Gallup, employee disengagement–the relationship between an organization and its employees — was measured at 70%. Gallup estimated that disengaged employees were “more likely to steal from a company, negatively influence coworkers, miss work, and to drive customers away.” All Managers can learn and coached on how to better engage their employees.
