Mentoring With Software Increases Employee Engagement Many companies understand the importance of employee engagement but, unfortunately, some talent practitioners tasked with improving employee engagement cannot clearly define the concept. Organizations may believe engagement consists of inviting employees to company events, playing games or activities but these surface level activities are just the beginning. In this context, “satisfaction” and “engagement” are thought to be the same thing, but this is false! When an employee is satisfied, they are happy with the job that they are performing. Employee engagement, however, goes deeper. Engagement refers to how connected the employee feels to their job, their company, and their motivation for advancing within the organization. An engaged employee is actively invested in building the success of the company, while a satisfied employee may just be happy to get a paycheck and benefits. For obvious reasons, having an engaged workforce is something that all organizations should strive for. So, what kind of a challenge does today’s employer face?
