Answer 1

Employee engagement and Job satisfaction are two of the most important aspects for an employee in the workplace and an engaged employee has the difference in the feeling that it is more of a place where employees are interested and not just a place from where they get their salary from. As professionals I believe that we all have had experiences when we have realized and felt engaged and the reverse is also true. I believe that the supervisors and managers has to play an important role in this context where they will make the employees feel engaged in the workplace and that is possible when employees are valued and their interests are given priority by the organization. I feel that whenever I have felt disengaged my manager has assigned me an interested and critical task and stated to prove myself and after the end of the task the team and the organization has valued me as an employee which has made me feel that I have been doing good as an employee and I am a valued employee in the organization. The managers or supervisors need to be capable enough to make employees feel that they are valued and they are important for the organization and I believe that is the very basic thing that employees expect from the organization.
