Equate the noun of engagement with the verb of engage by solving the employee engagement equation: Employee Engagement = Small Actions + Good Work + Daily Performance. Successful employee engagement is based on strategic, small, simple, strong, significant, and sustainable evidence based actions, such as high quality connection and progress monitoring to strength based conversations. Engagement is built with grit, gumption, and caring for good work, done well, with others, every day. David Zinger, International Expert and Author on Employee Engagement
