You Know You Are an Actively Engaged Employee When…

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Chicago, IL – February 10, 2011 – When it comes to Employee Engagement, there are three types of employees: Actively Engaged, Ambivalent, and Actively Disengaged.  Actively Engaged employees go above and beyond, frequently doing more than what is asked of them.  They are incredibly loyal to their organization and are intent to stay at their organization for many years.  Ambivalent employees are not apt to go the extra mile, only doing what is required of them, and are at risk of leaving the company.  Actively Disengaged employees hold a negative attitude toward their employer and their job responsibilities.  

To help organizations better understand the signs that Actively Engaged employees demonstrate, HR Solutions, Inc. compiled its list “You Know You Are an Actively Engaged Employee When…”:
