Good Work and Employee Engagement

Is your work good?

Here is a ZENgagement quotation relating to employee engagement from Howard Gardner edited book, Responsibility at Work:

bookbinding

We crave work that is of excellent technical quality, work that is ethically pursued and socially responsible, and work that is engaging, enjoyable, and feels good. Of course such work is more easily described than achieved. Not all work is executed at a level of excellence, not all work is carried out in an ethical manner, and alas, not all work engages the passions of the worker. Still, to the extent that our work is under our control, we like to do what we can to become good workers ourselves and to encourage good work on the part of those with whom we come into contact and those over whom we exercise some control (p. 5)

    EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT enriches everyone in the workplace. It is not sucking out more discretionary effort from employees.

    Authentic employee engagement must function for the benefit of all: employees, leaders, organizations, and customers.

    Employees have higher levels of satisfaction and contribution. Leaders are connected with employees and engaged themselves. The organization is functioning the way it should and customers are receiving the service they deserve.

    Ultimately everyone is getting results that matter to them.

    When this occurs, employee engagement transforms into a more powerful force --- workplace engagement.
