The level of employee engagement can be measured by the willingness and ability of employees to contribute to the success of their organisation.
It is their discretionary effort which is an essential element for the good health and well being of a company.

The model below illustrates a few characteristics of an engaged workforce that play an essential role in the success of any organisation.
