How employees engage with the organization

Employee engagement means the emotional commitment that employees put together to achieve the goals of the organization (Luthans, 2002). This involves the happiness, satisfaction, and care of the employees of the organization. 

Engaged employees lead to higher customer satisfaction, increasing the service, increasing sales, increasing profits, increasing shareholder returns. It is important to measure employee engagement to identify the turnover of the organization. To measure employee engagement, organizations conduct employee engagement surveys (Luthans, 2002). That can ensure the satisfaction of the employees, measure the performance of the employees, strategic alignment, and competencies.

 These complicated surveys take time but there are short surveys as well to measure employee engagement but short surveys may only measure whether the employees engaged or not. To ensure the gathered information is accurate and relevant it is important to include more than fifty questions in the surveys. Because without relevant information, organizations may not be able to identify whether employees are satisfied with the work and the environment and to have training programs, strategies, incentives, etc. 

There are two components in employee engagement such as engaging with the whole organization and engage with the manager.  When considering engaging employees as a whole, that includes the employees’ intention about the senior management, employee trust, fairness, values, and leadership. When considering engaging with the manager, it includes strong work relationship, treating fairly, value the employees, feedback, direction and etc (Sawithri, 2017)

It is important to think about who is going to involve in employee engagement initiatives and it is important to understand how employee engagement connects with the outcomes in the financial statement. It is vital to understand how engagement affects the company’s bottom line because it is important to strengthen the company’s bottom line with skillful employees. 

Moreover, the organizations in the real world organize different events in the organizations to ensure a high level of engagement. Mostly they organize sports events, new year events, talent shows, appraising the employees, annual gettogethers, dinner-dance parties for the employees to ensure a higher rate of engagement of them with regards to the work. Therefore, employee engagement is an important factor in the organization’s success.
