Engagement
Employee engagement is an
emotional state where
employees feel passionate,
energetic, and committed to
their work.
This translates into employees
who give their hearts, spirits,
minds, and hands to deliver a
high level of performance to
the organization.

Employee satisfaction is the price of admission to employee
engagement.
Employees need to be satisfied with things like compensation,
benefits, work-life balance, workload, and safety before they can
engage in their work. If satisfaction is low, employee engagement
will suffer.

Editor's Notes
Employees who have negative views of the company, its leaders, and practices are more vulnerable to unionization. If employees feel undervalued, they may reach out for support and advocacy. If this support is not found internally, they may seek membership in labor unions. The following table shows the results of the 2013 Union Vulnerability Index.
