It is well known that a significant proportion of US workforce is not actively engaged at work, as per a report by marketing research firm Gartner. The report also states that sixteen percent are in fact actively disengaged and this overall leads to loss of productivity in the US of up to five hundred and fifty billion dollars annually. Thus, increasing employee engagement is now more crucial than ever, so a series of trusted practices have been brought out. Firstly, achievable performance expectations need to be tied to the corporate strategy of the organization. Employees must be provided with adequate tools and resources to perform their jobs. They should also be able to utilize their strengths with full autonomy to the best of possibilities. Individualized relationships need to be honed between colleagues. Any ongoing development needs to be supported and employees need be provided timely feedback.
