Employee Engagement Program

What is an employee engagement program?

“Employee engagement” refers to the connection employees feel to their

workplaces, positions, and colleagues.

Employee engagement programs are designed to stimulate and foster this bond to
increase employee satisfaction, quality performance, and teamwork. Businesses
that invest time and money into such programs can expect to be rewarded with
the following advantages:

• Retain the best employees. Top performers don’t need to work

elsewhere if a company implements effective engagement strategies that
keep them satisfied and motivated.
• Attract exceptional candidates. Qualified applicants want to work for
an organization that can offer strong employment management programs,
especially those that help them grow both personally and professionally.
• Stand out in a competitive industry. Employees appreciate an engaging
work environment. For example, Canva ranked third in Australia’s Best
Workplaces of 2020. Crystal Boysen, people lead at Canva, explained that
they put a strong emphasis on celebrating achievements, even when remote
workers are involved.
• Promote unity in the workplace. A 2022 study by Zippia found that
75% of employees consider teamwork a priority. People feel more
comfortable and safe at work if they can trust their colleagues and work
together to accomplish a common goal.
