\"book<\/a>Here is the 3rd<\/sup> part of a 5 part series recapping the blogs and articles posted in 2013. The Employee Engagement<\/i> blog recap is loaded with great information on both employee engagement and disengagement in the workplace.\u00a0 But just what is employee engagement? By most definitions it is an employee’s level of involvement, emotional commitment, satisfaction with their job, and satisfaction with the organization\u2019s goals and visions.<\/p>\n

After the recent recession, many employees no longer align to this definition of engagement. Their emotional commitment and satisfaction waned considerably with the unending change and upheaval in the workplace. As a new economy emerged, employees were experiencing overwhelming change and pressures due to a reduced workforce, tighter budget restraints, and an uncertain economy. However, as stated in an employee engagement blog, Change is inevitable. Growth is optional<\/a>. Sadly, only a handful of organizations are successful at embracing the change spawned by the recent recession or empowering their employees to help create a new, more dynamic workplace.<\/p>\n

Bringing Employee Engagement Back from the Brink<\/b><\/h4>\n

Earlier this year, I, and several colleagues, hosted the Engagement, Retention and Growth<\/a> webinar series and addressed the challenges many businesses faced emerging from the recession. With budget cuts, layoffs, and stagnant or reduced wages, many employers found themselves faced with a mistrusting and suspicious workforce. According to the Gallup State of the American workplace 2010-2012 report, an alarming 70% of American employees aren’t working to their full potential, and they’re slowing economic growth. And that\u2019s just not what is needed after a lengthy recession.<\/p>\n

But not all is grim. These posts take a look at what is right and what is wrong in the workplace today and provide the tools to improve engagement. With this series of employee engagement blogs, I broke them down into digestible subcategories so you can hone in on the most relevant articles for you or your organization.<\/p>\n
