Employee engagement is often misunderstood as employee satisfaction, and
while the two ideas are related — satisfied employees are more likely to be
engaged; engagement is a strong indicator of satisfaction — one does not
guarantee or replace the other. Think of it this way: Satisfied employees are
happy at work and engaged employees are happy doing their work. Employee
engagement is a concept in human resources that refers to the degree to
which employees are invested in, motivated by and passionate about the work
they do and the company for which they work. It is the connection workers
have with their job and workplace it measures commitment to their job and
overalll enthusiasm for contributing to the success of company they work for
