Staff Engagement

Engaging employees will be the greatest human resources’ challenge facing employers over the next three to five years, according to a member survey by the Society for Human Resource Management. Sixty-nine percent of the respondents say engagement would be “very important.”

“Engaged” employees are those that are fully involved in and enthusiastic about their work, and thus will act in a way that furthers their company’s interests.

The world's top-performing organizations understand that employee engagement is a force that drives performance outcomes. In the best organizations, engagement is more than a human resources. initiative -- it is a strategic foundation for the way they do business.

Research by Gallup and others shows that engaged employees are more productive. They are more profitable, more customer-focused, safer, and more likely to withstand temptations to leave. Employees who work in a healthy atmosphere performing tasks that match their skills and attributes are satisfied, engaged and productive employees. The best-performing companies know that an employee-engagement-improvement strategy linked to the achievement of corporate goals will help them win in the marketplace.

Employee engagement actually begins way before the selection and work performance process – it starts with the strategic planning initiative. This allows the organization to decide what jobs will be needed to reach the goals and objectives of the plan. Then job analysis can begin and position descriptions are written. Hiring the right person for the right job is the proven foundation for employee engagement and the organization’s meeting its strategic goals.
