Benefits of the Engaged Employee
Benefit from the Promise of More Engaged Health Care Staff
How do you stay engaged in what you are doing? Health care facility management professionals and their employers benefit from employees who are excited by and loyal to their profession. This loyalty is generally a win-win proposition for both the professional and the facility.
Engagement reflects an emotional bond with your work and workplace. Business units in the top half of employee engagement on average show:
- An 86% higher success rate on customer metrics
- A 70% higher success rate in lowering turnover
- A 70% higher success rate in productivity
- A 44% higher success rate in profitability
- A 78% higher success rate in safety figures

Individuals who are engaged are likely to be:
- More satisfied
- More motivated
- More committed
- Less burnt out
- Less inclined to leave their jobs
