02. Level of Engagement


Employees can be categorized according to their level of engagement mainly in to three groups (Allen, 2014),
2.1. Engaged Employee
Engaged employees are always passionate about their work and always helps organization to grow through innovations. They always try to achieve targets and focused towards their goals they want to know the desired expectations. They highly concerned about both company and their place in it. Their performance is at a higher level, and wants to use their talents and strengths at work every day. engaged employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. They drive innovation and move the organization forward (Gallup,2006).
  2.2. Not Engaged Employee
Not-engaged employees are more focused on completing their task or achieving their own goals rather than achieving organization’s common goals. They always think they are not recognized and their contribution and potential are being ignored.  This type of employees don’t have good relationship with rest of team members such as subordinates, peers and superiors. Not engaged employees are essentially ‘checked out’. They’re sleepwalking through their workday, putting time – but not energy or passion – into their work (Gallup, 2006).
 2.3. Actively Disengaged Employee
These employees are called "cave dwellers”. They are consistently against everything and are always unhappy with the job. They always try to create problems among the team and cause damage to the organization by creating problems and tensions Actively disengaged employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged co-workers accomplish (Gallup,2006).
