Research over the last decade has made the case that employee engagement in an organization is highly correlated with success in achieving business goals. Gallup’s State of the American Workplace report found that companies with highly engaged employees experience 17% higher productivity, 20% higher sales, and 21% higher profitability, among many other positive metrics.
An engaged workplace also helps create a positive work environment. When employees are engaged at work, they:
- Feel a connection with the company
- Believe that the work they’re doing is important
- Want to work harder
