What is engagement? ‘It’s all about the people!’ ‘A workplace approach designed to ensure that employees are committed to their organisation’s goals and values, motivated to contribute to organisational success and able at the same time to enhance their own sense of wellbeing.’ Professor David Guest “Employee engagement is about how we create the conditions in which employees offer more of their capability and potential” David Macleod OBE OR, IN OTHER WORDS……. ‘It’s all about the people!’ Employee engagement is a workplace approach designed to ensure that our people are: Committed to the goals and values of their role, their team and their business Motivated to contribute to our organisation’s success Are able to enhance their own sense of well-being Engaged employees freely and willingly give more of themselves as an integral part of their daily activity at work. Engagement is two way: the organisation must work to engage the employee, who in turn has a choice about the level of engagement they want to offer. Every line manager and leader is accountable for employee engagement

IT’S NOT….. We all know what we mean….. We know it when we see it and when we don’t.
