Employee engagement is a workplace approach resulting in the right conditions for all members of an organisation to give of their best each day, committed to their organisation’s goals and values, motivated to contribute to organisational success, with an enhanced sense of their own well-being.
An employer value proposition (EVP) is the unique set of benefits which an employee receives in return for the skills, attributes and experience they bring to a company. The value proposition describes what an organisation stands for, requires and offers as an employer. To ensure an EVP generates maximum returns it must be built around attributes that genuinely attract, engage and retain the talent you want.
Both Employee engagement and Value preposition is based on trust, integrity, two way commitment and communication between an organisation and its members. It is an approach that increases the chances of business success, contributing to organisational and individual performance, productivity and well-being. It can be measured. It varies from poor to great. It can be nurtured and dramatically increased; it can be lost and thrown away.
Employees who have good quality jobs and are managed well, will not only be happier, healthier and more fulfilled, but are also more likely to drive productivity, better products or services, and innovation. This mutual gains view of motivation and people management lies at the heart of employee engagement, a concept that has become increasingly relevant in management thinking over the last decade.
