According to ANDRH, employee engagement is defined as \u201call the actions taken by an employee that go beyond the basic requirements of their employment contract, reinforcing the feeling of contributing to a shared project while aligning with the company\u2019s values\u201d (Revue Personnel ANDRH, 2012). In short, it refers to the level of involvement, motivation, and commitment<\/mark><\/strong> an individual has toward their organization, enabling them to achieve their goals and contribute to its overall success. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The concept emerged in the 1970s, initially linked to job satisfaction and long-term employee retention. It was first formally defined in 1990 by William Kahn, widely regarded as the founding father of employee engagement: \u201cIn engagement, people employ and express themselves physically, cognitively, and emotionally during role performances\u201d (Academy of Management<\/a> Journal). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today, employee engagement is a true driver of performance. It is also a strategic retention lever<\/strong><\/mark> for HR teams, executives, and managers. Engagement helps effectively address issues like turnover and absenteeism, which can be highly detrimental to team cohesion and overall success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
