In its State of the Global Workplace report, Gallup concludes that “85% of employees are not actively engaged or [are] actively disengaged at work.” What this implies is that only 15% of employees are actively engaged.

Many of the factors that affect engagement are within your control. Creating a culture of engagement involves looking at the policies regulating motivation, respect, and empowerment of employees.

Managers play a huge role in determining whether employees are committed to the organizations they work for or not. To have a positive role, managers need to exhibit the behaviors and skills that encourage employees to go the extra mile. 

To encourage employee engagement, every organization needs to create processes that make the employee’s whole life cycle with the company as smooth as possible. For instance, employees are likely to be engaged when an organization has a seamless onboarding process.

Employees are likely to be enthusiastic if there are processes for sharing information, making resources available, and learning and development. These processes should also be clear about what is needed to progress through the company’s ranks.
