Employee engagement refers to how emotionally committed an employee is to the organization they work for. While many people assume engagement is synonymous with satisfaction or happiness, it’s not. Engaged employees may not be thrilled about how work is going, but they still care about the company, the people they work with, and whatever shared goal the organization is working toward.
But how do you recognize employee engagement when it’s happening? And how much does having engaged employees genuinely matter regarding team bonding, company culture, and organizational success?
Engagement is not just about the work employees do but also how much involvement and ownership an employee has in their job. This might look like team members who take the initiative on projects outside of what's assigned or coming up with new ideas that will benefit the company's operational solutions.

That’s right, engagement is the good kind of contagious. That’s exponentially more beneficial to your company, as studies show organizations with engaged workers have 6% higher net profit margins and five times higher shareholder returns over a five-year period.
Researchers link those improvements to the ripple effect that follows increased employee engagement. The more engaged an employee is, the better their customer service. That leads to greater customer satisfaction, increased revenue from higher per-person spending, repeat business and referrals, and, ideally, greater profitability.

There is a deep-seated cultural belief that tells us being vulnerable can lead to our downfall, especially in the workplace where colleagues can be competitors and supervisors are eager to weed out the weak.
