Employee Engagement and Employee Well Being

Employee engagement & well-being both contribute to employee retention. Are they related? Which comes first? 👀

A recent article by Fast Company has shed light on a concerning trend in the corporate world. It seems that despite the constant talk about employee engagement, many leaders are not truly invested in making it a priority. 🤔

However, the focus should not just be on engagement, but also on employee well-being. Employee well-being deals with how an employee feels whereas employee engagement is about how employees feel about their role, their work, and value within their company. 💡

The article highlights several reasons why leaders should prioritize employee well-being. For one, when employees are physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy, they are more likely to be engaged in their work and to perform at a high level. 🏋️‍♀️

Interestingly, companies that invest in wellness initiatives often experience higher levels of engagement, productivity, and overall success. In fact, employees who strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing are 3x more likely to be engaged and 69% less likely to actively search for a new job. 📈

So, what can be done to change this? The article suggests that leaders need to shift their mindset and recognize the long-term benefits of employee well-being. This includes providing employees with the tools and support they need to take care of themselves. 💪

So maybe it’s time to realize the symbiosis between employee engagement and employee well-being. By acknowledging and respecting the well-being and satisfaction of their employees, leaders can create a more productive and successful organization. 🎉
