EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Are you an engaged employee or disengaged?

Highly engaged employees have a passion for their work and feel a deep  connection to their company; 

Disengaged employees have essentially checked out—putting time but not energy or attention into their work. (Stephen Robbins).

Benefits of being an engaged employee:

  Happiness
  Health life

  Job satisfaction

  Enthusiasm
  Confidence
  higher levels of customer satisfaction,
  more productive
  bring higher profits
  lower levels of turnover and accidents

Signs of disengaged employees:

   Constantly Complaining
  Make Excuses
  Lack Enthusiasm
  Doesn’t like Helping Others
  Like Gossiping and Lying
  Have Know-it-all attitude
  Irresponsible and careless
  lacks Initiative
  Lacks Curiosity
  Stunted Growth
  Easily Distracted

It is imperative to point out that, most of these 

signs are not just related to employees in the

corporate world. You can be an engaged or disengaged family member and friend too. From my point of view, people sometimes are constrained to be disengaged depending on the prevailing work culture, leadership styles, organisational policies, family spirit etc. These factors could be external or internal and can force someone to just withdraw. 

However, hope is not lost, what is key is never quitting on doing what is best. In other circumstances if you really feel that you are not progressing well, the best is to move on, do auditing of your friends and those corrupting you, keep a distance diplomatically while praying for them-not easy but inevitable. For, families keep doing your best to by being the pillar of hope, fostering love and unity, keep praying for everyone and don’t quit on them. 

My strong and earnest appeal is to make a resolve to become an engaged employee, engaged brother, wife, husband, sister, father, mother, uncle, aunt and engaged friend because the benefits are immense. If you are already engaged please don’t stop, continue, because you are a champion of greatness and through you, many lives will be touched. However, if you are not an engaged person, it’s never too late to stop giving excuses and become a better family member, friend and employee. Always remember is your choice to be engaged or disengaged and you need to choose wisely.
