Employee engagement is a buzz phrase you may have come across while searching for a job or reading articles about developing your career. There are several definitions of employee engagement, but it\u2019s generally described as the passion, extra effort, energy and commitment we feel towards our work.<\/p>\n
As an engaged employee, you may often agree with the following:<\/p>\n
However, if you\u2019re not engaged, you most likely share these thoughts:<\/p>\n
Half of the ownership of being engaged at work belongs to the employee, while the other half belongs to the organization. If an organization\u2019s culture does not provide the necessary environment for an employee to become engaged, an employee who wishes to be engaged will not be able to become engaged. A quick way to determine whether or not a culture has the factors needed for you to engage is to review the organization\u2019s values. Below are a few factors found in organizational cultures that contribute towards engagement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It helps to understand the big picture. When looking for a job that you can engage with, make sure that you understand the organization\u2019s goals, how your role contributes to the organization\u2019s goals and what needs to be done to reach your individual goals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also helpful to be aware of goals for other departments in the organization and understand their contribution to organizational goals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As you consider whether an organization is the right fit for you, review your future career goals and see if they could be achieved with that employer. An employer focused on engaging team members hires individuals that show potential and are willing to be challenged in their role. Look for an organization that believes in you and provides tools, resources, training and career growth opportunities to stretch your current skills.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s no longer a secret that having a friend at work is linked to how employees experience the workplace. Organizational cultures that make employee engagement a priority provide opportunities to connect with those they work with in both formal and informal settings. This could be as simple as encouraging cross-aisle collaboration or hosting internal celebrations. The important thing is that you have the opportunity to connect with employees in various department.<\/p>\n
