Employee engagement is crucial for a thriving organizational culture. This chapter explores the classifications of employee engagement: actively engaged, not engaged, and actively disengaged. Engaged employees are passionate and drive innovation, while those not engaged may merely go through the motions. Actively disengaged individuals can negatively impact morale and company initiatives. Key drivers of engagement include effective communication, recognition, and a supportive workplace culture. The chapter also discusses the importance of managing diversity and ethical standards in promoting a positive work environment.
