Defining employee engagement

Do your employees jump out of bed each morning excited to come to work? When they're at work are they totally absorbed in what they're doing? If the answers are yes, then your employees are engaged employees. Employee engagement is about building an environment where employees are fully absorbed by their work, enthusiastic about achieving their goals, and consistently take action to further the organization. A fully engaged employee is willing to go the extra mile because she cares about the organization's well being, he puts his entire mind, body and soul into work when he's on the clock.

In other words, there are three components of engagement. The mind, or cognitive engagement, refers to employees beliefs about the company. The body, or behavioral engagement, refers to the physical effort employees put in at work. And the soul, or emotional engagement, refers to how employees feel about the company. So if you have employees who work hard or put in long hours, can you say they are engaged? Not necessarily.
