This book fills this gap by defining precisely what “employee engagement†means and identifying its primary drivers. The book also provides nuts and bolts guidance for how to introduce the concept of engagement in the organization. Providing both practical advice, tools, and case examples, this book translates best practices, ideas, and concepts into concrete and practical steps that will change the level of engagement in any organization.
