Engaged Employees = Active Employees


Employee engagement is a property of the relationship between an organization and its employees. An “engaged employee” is one who is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work and takes positive action to further the organization’s reputation and interests.


Time and time again it has been shown that “engaged employees” are extremely beneficial to a business. • They have fewer absences. • They have fewer safety incidents. • They are loyal, stable employees. • They are more productive.


Bottom line, businesses with engaged employees not only have a better working environment, they perform better as well.


Unfortunately, more than 85% of HR and business leaders surveyed by Deloitte cited a lack of employee engagement as the top issue facing them today. It’s an expensive problem, costing employers tens of thousands of dollars annually.
