Employee engagement is a measurement of an employee’s emotional commitment to an organization; it takes into account the amount of discretionary effort an employee expends on behalf of the organization.
Engagement is about the culture that we want. It is the exceptional experience we want to provide to our students, patients, staff, faculty, colleagues and community. Active engagement gets us there.
When employee goals are aligned with the organization’s strategic goals, and when employees work towards a standard of job performance excellence, and employees are engaged, the organization is able to create an exceptional experience for clients, community and the employees themselves.
Engaged employees are proven to be more productive, are absent less often, have fewer safety incidents and fewer patient safety incidents, among other benefits. Here are just some of the ways that engagement matters.
