STRATEGY & GROWTH PROGRAMS

Employee engagement is the emotional commitment the employee has to the organization and its goals. This emotional commitment means engaged employees actually care about their work and their company. They don't work just for a paycheck, or just for the next promotion, but work on behalf of the organization's goals.

In order to have engaged employees, you must first have a clear vision and goals. Everyone in the organization needs to know where the business is headed and how it's going to get there. Ask yourself:

• Does your organization have a clear mission? Has it be communicated and is it reinforced constantly?
• Does the organization have short-term and long-term goals? Have they been shared?
• Does everyone on the team have a clear picture of how they contribute to the organization's pursuit of these goals?
