Involvement + Commitment = Engagement = Increased Effort = Better Results.
Strong employee engagement encourages creativity. As a result, creativity fosters idea generation. This cycle generates and sustains an innovative organizational culture.
Current findings involving the correlation between employee engagement and innovation strongly indicates that engaged employees are far more likely to suggest or develop creative ways to improve business processes. They're also far more likely to find creative ways to solve customer problems and involve their customers in creating new products/services.
Company leaders who want to drive growth through innovation need to create an environment that welcomes and encourages new ideas and should make employee engagement a key component of that strategy!
Allowing teams and individuals to find a greater sense of meaning and motivation for finding and implementing innovation in their roles.
One of the most critical aspects of successful employee engagement is to understand each employee's approach to problem solving in the workplace. This enables leaders to efficiently manage team members and at the same time improve the cohesiveness of their work group/ business unit.
