Employee Satisfaction vs. Employee Engagement: Are They the Same Thing?

November 25, 2012

There continues to be a lot of confusion in the HR industry around employee satisfaction and employee engagement. HR professionals have long sought to accurately measure employee satisfaction but, more recently, the focus has shifted to employee engagement. So is employee engagement just a new buzz word for job satisfaction? The answer is no. Satisfaction and engagement are two important, yet distinct measurements that provide valuable and actionable insights into the workforce. The problem is that too many organizations still view them as one and the same thing. As a result, they may be missing critical opportunities to foster the kind of workforce engagement that drives innovation, boosts performance, and increases competitive success.
