Though they can be developed into a true competitive advantage, engagement isn't attainable if the employee isn't invested in the company's overall success. \u003ci\u003eAgile Engagement\u003c\/i\u003e offers business leaders a concrete strategy for building, maintaining, and utilizing employee engagement to achieve the highest level of business success. The key? Employees must feel like they are a part of their company's culture instead of having it handed down to them. Stories of failed employee engagement initiatives abound, and they all have one thing in common: they begin from the premise of \"initiative\" rather than \"employee.\" True engagement occurs when an employee's heart and mind are activated in a way that leads to their motivation and commitment to positively impact the company's goals and vision.

dedicated their professional careers to enriching employee engagement and giving employers the tools to ensure culture is a key tenet of overall business strategy.

True employee engagement is not reserved for a chosen few. Rather, it is within reach of every business, every leader, and every worker. Organizations that prioritize culture-building and engagement differentiate themselves in the marketplace and reap the rewards. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmployee engagement and measurement are popular topics, but there is a vacuum between the theories and actionable strategies for real-world engagement. The ground-breaking Engagement Canvas, created by authors Todd Richardson and Santiago Jaramillo, fills this void and provides a clear roadmap to deeper employee engagement and the significant benefits that come with being a workplace of choice. The introduction of their engagement measurement methodology allows companies to establish a cadence of engagement measurement and improvement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAgile Engagement\u003c\/i\u003e is divided into four main sections: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Engagement Engine:\u003c\/b\u003e We define workplace culture and employee engagement and break down how they impact your business.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Workplace of Now:\u003c\/b\u003e We explore tectonic shifts in the workplace and uncover key drivers of employee engagement.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Engagement Canvas:\u003c\/b\u003e We show you how to use the Engagement Canvas to drive overall culture strategy and measure your effectiveness over time.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Practice of Engagement:\u003c\/b\u003e We offer practical advice that will immediately help improve engagement and business results.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAgile Engagement \u003c\/i\u003eis not merely a theoretical work, but a practical guide for readers who want to drive real employee engagement and develop winning cultures.
