Managers Boast Best Work Engagement
“Managers and executives [who are] Engaged in their jobs — meaning they are deeply involved in and enthusiastic about their work and actively contributing to their organization.” – Gallup
Engaged Employees:
- Involved in and enthusiastic about their work
Not Engaged Employees:
- May be satisfied but are not emotionally connected to their workplaces
- Less likely to put in discretionary effort
Actively Disengaged Employees:
- Emotionally disconnected from their work and workplace
- Jeopardize their teams’ performance
Research has found that companies with engaged employees are far more likely to be actively hiring than are others. According to Gallup this hiring increase appears to be at least partly related to the higher level of engagement among managers and executives in these companies. There is a proven strong relationship between employees’ workplace engagement and their respective companies’ overall performance.
“Increasing the number of engaged leaders and managers in the U.S. workforce is more likely to inject hope and stability into their teams.”
