Engagement is one of those words that gets used a lot. We need to have more employee engagement. We need more engaged employees. Well, what is engagement, anyway? What does it mean to be engaged at work? Well, first of all, it's more than satisfaction. I mean, people can be satisfied in their job, but this doesn't necessarily mean they're engaged.

And it's more than fine or okay. Like if your spouse or significant other says to you that things are fine, are they really fine? If everything is okay, you know my job is all right. That doesn't mean we're engaged. And it's certainly about more than a paycheck. Like if we quit paying you, you'd quit coming to work. But that isn't engagement either.


So what is engagement? Find out in the video below and start building an engaged culture where people are way more than just fine.
