There’s an old meme that gets circulated on LinkedIn and other sites, reporting a conversation between a CEO and a CFO: CFO: What happens if we spend all this money training our employees and they leave? CEO: What happens if we don’t, and they stay? The idea, of course, is that organizations can’t afford not to train their employees. But where’s the proof?

Keeping up is not easy and it’s very time consuming.

A very large component of employee engagement is centered around work tasks and the degree to which employees can immerse themselves in their work. The hope is that employees experience the pleasure of working and even reach the nearly euphoric state of flow while doing so. You could describe this state of flow as “work engagement.”. However, employee engagement is not just assessed by the level of focus reached while working.
