Employee Program Engagement is the level at which staff members are aligned with and working toward company objectives. Employee Program Engagement is influenced by a wide range of factors that comprise of internal talks, company structure, benefits and recognition.
Organizations that have high levels of employee engagement benefit from better productivity, retention and performance than peers with disengaged workers. Levels of engagement among workers in America have been declining over the past several years as individuals have become disillusioned with the treatment of workers by companies. The inability to engage 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 engagement in several ways. First, when communicated properly, they verify to staff members that the organization cares about their wellbeing. This can improve retention and turnover as well as supply increased discretionary effort from staff members. 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 wellbeing of staff members.
In addition, the health improvements will lower absenteeism and presenteeism (when staff members continue to work despite decreased productiveness), allowing for more time spent at full productiveness. Lastly, healthier staff members are more likely to have increased morale, which translates into a more enjoyable and more effective work environment.
