Engaged employees have a strong personal connection to the organization they work for. They identify with the organization’s mission and are therefore willing to go the extra mile to help their employer move forward.
When you are engaged at work, it means you are so enthusiastic about your job and your tasks that you become fully absorbed in them. You feel proud of what you, your colleagues, and your organization achieve. That gives you energy!
How to recognize engagement
When you are engaged…
-
…you’re willing to go the extra mile.
After your guests have left, you’re enjoying an end-of-shift drink with your colleagues. The phone rings. Do you pick up? Or do you think, “It can wait until tomorrow—we’re closed”? When you’re truly engaged, you care about the organization and you answer the phone. -
…you feel responsible for your work.
Do you see clutter in the hallway? It bothers you—so you take care of it right away. This says a lot about your level of engagement. -
…you proudly and enthusiastically share the moving experience you had with a client today.
Sometimes engagement can turn into worry or concern. Share these concerns with your manager or a trusted person! When you worry too much, it leads to stress. But when you talk about your concerns, they can be turned into action and improvement. And that creates positive energy!
