 Employee happiness and engagement are two different things. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As an employee, you could be happy at work, but if you do not receive enough recognition, feedback, or have any opportunities for personal growth, you will never be engaged.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2026 Understanding that happiness does not always lead to having engaged employees will also help you put the right perks in place.<\/span> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When managers invest in their employees and help them get better at what they do, they\u2019ll be much more likely to be engaged. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Measuring an employee\u2019s sense of autonomy, their level of mastery, and their connection to the purpose is how you can make sure employees are engaged. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another example is called Herzberg\u2019s Motivation-Hygiene Theory. \u2026
What the theory says, is that being recognized and having that autonomy won\u2019t offset being paid poorly or not enjoying your work environment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
