(10,164 posts)I had to look up what engagement meant in this context.
"Gallup measures a worker's level of engagement based on a series of questions such as: Does the employee understand what is expected of them at work? Do their opinions seem to count? Do they have opportunities to do what they do best? Do they have a best friend at work?"
But the majority of the things they list are a manager's job to instill in their employees. If you don't understand what is expected of you at work your manager and trainers have failed miserablely. If an employees opinion doesn't count, it's the boss's fault. How can an employee make his opinion count if management doesn't care?
So what this so called employee engagement really measures is how well the manager or boss has trained and integrated the employee into the functions of the workplace.
But instead of looking at training and orientation provided by employers. They just lay it in the lap of the employee.
