Employee Engagement: Keys to Organizational Success

Abstract

Employee engagement can be considered one of the essential keys to organizational success because it is inextricably linked with other factors, such as employee retention, morale, and productivity. When employees are not engaged in their work, organizations lose a lot of money on absenteeism, lost productivity, and turnover. The act of engaging employees lies directly on the employee’s manager. In order for managers to be able to engage employees, managers must be engaged in their work themselves. Thus, organizations’ learning how to effectively engage managers is the first step toward being successful in engaging employees. This chapter will explore the factors that are predictors of employee engagement.
