DECEMBER - 2022HR TECH OUTLOOK APAC8In MyOpinionEmployee Engagement for Sustainable Organizational GrowthThere is one organization that has a desirable attrition rate which is 5 percentor less, and the average length of service of its employees is 15 years. Does it always mean that their employees are highly engaged? Let's put this question aside for a moment.Every Organizational Development professional is likely to put employee engagement as one of the highest priorities to achieve. It is one of the most significant ways to improve their organization and help it move forward. High employee engagement promotes talent retention means lower turnover rates, better team performance, achieving organizational objectives, and many more. This positivity can only be achieved when the majority of employees are actively engaged. They are those employees who are aspired to support organizational growth by aligning their job with strategic goals.Actively disengaged employees, on the other hand, are not only unhappy to be part of the organization but also actively show their unhappiness to others. They are often under-performers and can influence other employees with negativity and create disengagement across the organization. However, leaders should be aware also that there are a group of employees who do just enough to get the job done without spending any extra effort, they don't complain, they prefer to maintain the status quo, and at the end of the day they just want to get their paycheck and go home. These employees are most probably the silent majority in the organization. They will keep staying in the organization with no strong motivation to support the organizational long-term objectives. Hence, leaders need to dig a little deeper to answer the question if these long-service employees are also highly engaged and bring impact to the organization. Given the importance of employee engagement to support organizational development, here's what we can consider driving employee engagement:Aldi Ghazaldi, Head of HR Business Partner, PT.
