Employee engagement is so much more than a free lunch or a happy YouTube recruiting dance. It is big business and big in business when disengagement results in a profit loss of up to $10,000 for each disengaged employee. We must be mindful of our numbers and not let disengaged employees become numb to their impact. If you are a manager know that it may be well worth your effort and time to work at transforming a disengaged employee into an engaged employee.
