Engagement

is the new buzz word in the world of business. And rightfully so. Although the impact of non-engagement is huge with larger corporations, it is small business that makes up more than 97% of the Canadian economy, that is hit hardest. 

Employee engagement is an emotional state where employees feel passionate, energetic, and committed to their work. This translates into employees who give their hearts, spirits, minds, and hands to deliver a high level of performance to the organization.
