ENGAGEMENT
There is an important distinction between completing work just to
get through the day or completing it with passion, dedication and
motivation. Where you feel connected to your work, coworkers and
the overall mission of the organization, you and your organization
are driven by engagement. Engagement can be seen in three
ways: physical engagement, emotional engagement and cognitive
engagement. Physical engagement is based on the amount of effort
an employee puts into their job. Where you are physically engaged,
you view work as a source of energy. Emotionally engaged employees
have a positive job outlook and are passionate about their work.
Cognitively engaged employees devote more attention and time to
their work (HaveTHATtalk, 2016). Regardless of the source, engaged
employees feel connected to their work because they can relate to
the overall mission, have a strong commitment to the organization's
success and feel that their work makes a positive difference.
