The Different Faces of Employee Engagement

Employee engagement means different things to people in different places, according to a new global HR survey...

In the UK and US, employees said their engagement was influenced by respect from their managers.

In Japan, pay equals engagement.

In France and India, the type of work they were doing determined their level of engagement.

In China employees look for benefits.

Germany? They say co-workers are the most important factor in engagement.

Meanwhile work-life balance was cited as an important component of engagement for most workers around the world. However, people in India and China did not necessarily feel it was crucial.

The ability to provide excellent customer service and corporate representation was also a large driver of engagement in most countries, especially in the UK. But Japan doesn't agree.
