Employee Well-being vs. Engagement.

Employee Well-being vs. Engagement

Employee wellbeing looks at employee experience from a holistic view across different categories: their social, physical, mental, financial, and environmental wellness.

An HR manager’s approach to employee wellbeing is: ‘What steps can I take to ensure an employee feels valued and secured at the workplace?’ 

This usually involves looking beyond numbers and goals – and to offer perks or an incentive that pacifies work-related stress. Employee engagement on the other hand, is the emotional and motivational commitment an employee has towards their company.

Activities that increase employee engagement typically include a seamless onboarding process, training courses, feedback sessions, and more. 'How can I help an employee achieve their best at work?' would be an HR's strategy in this situation.

Engagement programs are proven to:

·         Reduce staff turnover

·        Improve productivity and efficiency
·         Boost business connectivity and performance

·         Reduction in absenteeism
