Guide to defining employee engagement

Our brief definition:

“Employee engagement represents the levels of enthusiasm and connection employees have with their organization. It's a measure of how motivated people are to put in extra effort for their organization, and a sign of how committed they are to staying there.”

And our short primer:

• Engagement is more than just job satisfaction or feeling happy at work
• Engagement is broader than single metrics such as eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score)

To measure employee engagement we use the following five questions (called our engagement index) in our surveys:

• “I am proud to work for [Company]”
• “I would recommend [Company] as a great place to work”
• “I rarely think about looking for a job at another company”
• “I see myself still working at [company] in two years’ time”
• “[Company] motivates me to go beyond what I would in a similar role elsewhere”

Engaged employees lead to higher performing, more resilient organizations. It's what many organizations and employees aspire to.
