Engaged workers are those who approach their work with energy, dedication, and focus. |
October 2011
Dear
friends,
The professional occupation influences significantly the physical and psychical health of every person. People who are satisfied with their work are happier and healthier than others.
Being efficient at work creates satisfaction. This satisfaction creates the necessary preconditions for better health and longevity. However employees who are satisfied are more productive and are rarely absent from their work because of health problems.
Effectiveness at work is therefore a key element for the well being of the employee and for the employer alike. It is a result of the complex interactions between the various personal and professional characteristics of the employee and the overall behavior of the employer.
The employee's effectiveness can be enhanced by knowledge, experience, perceptiveness, wise use off information and resources, timely actions and patient perseverance.
Read more about employees efficiency and engagement, in the article Work engagement, job satisfaction and productivity that you will find attached with our 105th Progressive Insurance Newsletter.
The efforts for increasing efficiency should be continuous. Increasing the satisfaction and pleasure that the employees obtain from their daily work is a key element of this long term strategy.
The actions to be taken should not be limited to stereotypes but should be innovative and imaginative. They should be tailored according to the individual circumstances of the employees, their work environment and employing enterprise or organism.
Understanding the mechanisms of employees efficiency and engagement is crucial for the progress and survivals of many companies. This is especially true today during these harsh economical times we are living.
Implementing successfully a policy of increasing employees' satisfaction through enhanced efficiency may be extremely fruitful for all.

Employees' own personal resources—such as self-esteem and optimism—also contribute to work engagement. |
