Employee Engagement is the level at which workers are aligned with and working toward company objectives. Employee Engagement is altered by a wide range of factors that comprise of internal talks, company structure, benefits and recognition.
Companies that have high levels of employee program engagement benefit from improved productivity, retention and achievement than peers with disengaged workers. Levels of engagement among workers in the U.S. have been declining over the past several years as individuals have become disillusioned with the treatment of workers by employers. The inability to involve workers is one of the reasons why, despite steady rises in hours worked, America lags behind several other nations in terms of employee productivity per hours worked.
Company Wellness Programs may increase employee program engagement in several ways. First, when communicated properly, they show to workers that the company cares about their wellness. This can improve retention and turnover as well as supply a greater discretionary effort from workers. During a period of significant downsizing, Motorola found more of an interest in its Company Wellness Programs as managers recognized the value of providing for the health and wellness of workers.
In addition, the health improvements will lower absenteeism and presenteeism (when workers continue to work despite decreased productivity), allowing for more time spent at full productivity. Lastly, healthier workers are more likely to have increased morale, which translates into a more enjoyable and more effective work environment.
