Employee Engagement: What Is It? Can It Be Improved?
Employee engagement is your employees’ ability and willingness to contribute to organizational success, especially their willingness to give “discretionary effort,” going beyond what is typically required in their position to make the organization successful.
Highly engaged employees are willing to go the extra mile, they work with passion, and they drive your business forward!
Then there are the highly disengaged employees. Uhhh… honestly, these folks often act as an anchor – doing the minimum required to keep their job and “stay under the radar.”
Here’s the good news: Engagement is not hard-wired. It’s not “programmed” into a person’s DNA.
Your organization can dramatically improve employee engagement.
TalentKeepers knows how to make it happen.
Our Approach to Increasing Employee Engagement
Let’s be honest; it’s tempting for organizations to do what they’ve always done… deliver the same employee survey year-in and year-out, identify a few organizational priorities, and do their best to make some improvements. Unfortunately, this tactical approach usually yields marginal, if any, modifications to employee engagement over the long haul.
It takes a more strategic, process-oriented approach if you truly aim to impact engagement (and the resulting business outcomes). For TalentKeepers, we characterize this approach with three simple words: Commit. Engage. Excel.

As a Senior Executive, TalentKeepers’ unique framework for planning and executing an employee engagement solution enabled me to target our customer satisfaction metrics and get the information we needed to move our organization higher in our industry rankings. This is especially important during difficult economic and uncertain times.

The PartingWords System surveys the departing team members twice, first at the time of departure and again 30 days later when responses reveal more controllable reasons for the departure.
