Employee Engagement

An "engaged employee" is one who is fully absorbed by and enthusiastic about their work and thus takes positive action to further the organization's reputation and interests.

High-involvement management practices are positively associated with employee morale, employee retention, and financial performance.

Employees with the highest level of commitment perform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave the organization, which indicates that engagement is linked to organizational performance

In a study of professional service firms, the Hay Group found that offices with engaged employees were up to 43% more productive.

High-commitment organizations (one with loyal and dedicated employees) out-performed those with low commitment by 47% in a 2000 study and by 200% in a 2002 study.
