Leaders hire people with the expectation that they will give their all and do their best work for the success of the organization. Sometimes, the employee effort doesn’t always meet the leader’s expectation. At this point, the leader may identify that they have a “disengaged” employee.
Engaged vs. Disengaged Defined
The Engaged
Someone who voluntarily meets expectations to be their best.
The Disengaged
Someone who performs at less than what is expected.
Workplace Engagement Drivers
If disengaged employees exist in your environment, there are factors that can be leveraged to influence their commitment to the organization. These factors are typically called “engagement drivers” because they help create a positive work culture and attract loyalty qualities in your employees. Each factor has a role in creating a postive workplace culture and have the most impact when they are all in place. Take time to review these areas (see below) and identify where your organization is lacking. Survey your population and focus on the specific areas of improvement that your business needs to ignite engagement and positive business results.
