Engagement at work is a sign of employee motivation and resulting productivity. Unfortunately, only about 13% of people globally are engaged at work, and disengaged employees cost the economy $500 billion per year. Work engagement has a direct correlation with performance.

There is a dire need to increase our ability to collaborate with disengaged and less motivated employees.

Tips on How to be Happy at Work

Last Updated on How often do you consider quitting your job and feel that you are not getting paid enough for the dedication and service you offer your organization?

What Engaged Employees Do Differently

Managers influence the engagement of employees and can act either as a coach or boss. Help employees own their engagement. When an employee’s basic needs are met, they are more engaged.

Behaviors of highly engaged employees

They do not use their problems as an excuse from mistakes. They don't let the problem affect their ability to perform.
They know how to take accountability for their actions.

The management and highly-engaged employees

Managers create the conditions that promote the behaviors of engaged employees with the relationships they establish.

The bosses who individualize create a space for their employees to seek out their strengths and only ask when advice is needed.
The bosses who generalize will often require constant managerial intervention because they don't foster engagement-creating behavior.

Engagement-oriented questions

Asking engagement oriented questions allows the employee to be able to think for themselves and to examine situations, analyze their own performance and generate great ideas or solutions.

This method is modeled from the Socratic Method that aids in stimulating mindful observation and critical thinking.

For example: "This report has been on your desk for a while now. Are you having trouble getting the information you need to complete it? Do you need help?"
