In a magic cube, every face needs to be aligned and coordinated to complete the puzzle. Employee engagement, like a magic cube, is multi-faceted with its own shades. Likewise, everything matters when it comes to ‘employee engagement’ – employees’ work profile, daily activities, involvement in corporate events and happenings, interpersonal dynamics with colleagues & managers and the rest. All aspects are important and need to be properly managed to make them fully engaged.
The famous NASA janitor story may be the perfect anecdote for employee engagement. When asked what he was doing the janitor replied, ‘I help to put a man on the moon’. Corporates would do anything to get such level of organizational buy-in, which is the ultimate sign of engaged employees.
