What is Engagement?

Engagement is not just a buzzword. It fuels hard-core business results and outcomes.

Gallup defines engaged employees or membership as those who are involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work, and contribute to their organization in a positive manner. Engaged employees are psychologically invested in the organization and their clients. According to Gallup research, 85% of global workers are not engaged or actively disengaged in their jobs. In the US, approximately 33% of employees are engaged in the workplace, which still leaves over 67% not engaged or actively disengaged.

Gallup's employee engagement work is based on more than 30 years of in-depth behavioral economic research involving more than 17 million employees. Through rigorous research, Gallup has identified 12 core elements -- the Q12 -- that link powerfully to key business outcomes. These 12 statements emerged as those that best predict employee and workgroup performance.  (These 12 are linked above "the Q12")

 

High-Performance Teams

Whether on the athletic field, in the workplace, or in other contexts, developing high-performance teams is critical to success. Their purpose is to “get the job done” as efficiently and effectively as possible, to focus on results. As the work terrain continues to evolve, so do the type of teams and best practices for managing and leading them. Common mission, vision, values, communication, connection, collaboration, celebration, dealing with conflict, emotional intelligence, attention to results, and accountability are all part of the dynamic interplay of teams on the path to high performance and positive results. How are you maximizing your team’s performance, developing emotional intelligence, leveraging strengths while managing around weaknesses, and increasing engagement, trust, and productivity?  All of these are essential to high-performance teams. (See the download resource below for more information on high-performance teams.)

G&A’s goal is to help teams create and sustain high performance, maximize their strengths, reach their goals, become more than the sum of their individual parts, and increase their productivity and profit. If you want to have more conversation about this, we invite you to contact us!

 

Why does employee engagement matter?

Engaged employees are more productive, profitable, and customer-focused. They have less absenteeism, fewer safety incidents, less turnover, and higher productivity.

There is also a connection between well-being and employee engagement. Gallup’s well-being index research shows: lower stress, lower levels of anxiety and depression, and lower levels of bad cholesterol.
