Learn how to unbundle concepts of employee engagement, employee experience, employee value proposition and employee lifetime value to focus on what is meaningful for your employees.

Employee engagement is an overused, variously defined term that causes much confusion. While engagement is something every employee hopes for and every employer desire, surveys say that engagement is low and disengagement high. The issue is how to distinguish employee engagement from the concept of a good employee experience. A company that can retain its staff and meet its objectives can be the right place for an individual employee; from a practical perspective, however, it may not be the right place for every employee. A great work environment for some may not be great for others.

Focusing on what is meaningful for your employees is essential for a talent-driven company. There is no one correct answer.

Learning Objectives

  • Ask the right questions to define employee engagement, employee experience, employee value proposition and employee lifetime value in your company.
  • Understand the definitions, decode the anachronisms, differentiate between the concepts and learn their impacts.
  • Understand the drivers of employee engagement: what executives say they will do for people versus what they and other managers do.
