TalentMap’s research proves that the dynamics that drive organizational engagement (i.e., employee connectedness to the organization) can be very different from those that drive team engagement (i.e., teams going above and beyond in their work). Although every organization is different and can have unique key drivers, there are a few drivers that are very common across most organizations, regardless of their size, region, sector or industry.
How employees feel about their senior leadership and the organizational culture are almost invariably the two strongest drivers of organizational engagement. More specifically, inspiring and effective senior leadership and a caring, high-integrity, respectful, celebratory organizational culture that harnesses the intellectual capital of its employees are the two most important organizational dynamics that drive employee pride, optimism and morale.
Regarding team engagement, the most common key drivers that will energize teams to go above and beyond are inclusion, inspiring and effective team leadership, performance management and the leveraging of employee insights and ideas.
