Abstract: The reality is that employee engagement does not come from an employee being happy or satisfied. Happiness and satisfaction result from an employee being engaged with his or her work, and at his or her workplace. This chapter examines insights into what employee engagement looks like in practice and how to create it. Employee engagement happens when an employee is emotionally invested in the company's goals. The degree to which an employee is emotionally invested in a company's goals will depend largely on the strength of the relationship he or she has with his or her direct supervisor. When a leader substitutes rules for relationships, he or she gets rebellion, not engagement. Empowering team members with latitude and discretion increases engagement. Helping team members develop a personal growth program improves their level of engagement. The chapter suggests motivating each member as a unique individual, rather than applying assembly line management.
