Employee engagement is an extremely powerful force that has the potential to impact an organization’s trajectory. According to Gallup, 70% of workers in the United States are not engaged. Since high engagement can lead to success, while low engagement can harm productivity, this statistic should be alarming to employers.
Engaged employees are more than just satisfied with their jobs, they are committed to the company and its goals. They have passion, pride and energy for their work and their organization, and are willing to go the extra mile on a regular basis. Employees who are truly engaged stay because they enjoy their work and support the company.
A rather new way organizations are seeing huge changes in engagement is through the use of technology and mobile apps. And with many organizations increasing the use of remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, there is increasing pressure for organizations and employees to adopt technology and tools needed for collaborating, communicating and working from a distance.
