What advice would you give to a manager or leader to improve employee engagement?  Do you feel that your employees are happy and committed to the organization whereby they will do what is necessary in order to ensure the success of the company?  It is more than important to know the answer to these questions in today’s economic state where shortage of employees has caused a rise in overtime hours, increase in responsibility, and shortage of staff.  Find out if your employees are happy and committed to the organization simply by asking them.

Employee Engagement means many different things to many different employees and employers.  One way to view employee engagement is the level of commitment and investment and employee has in the future of a company.  This is not financial engagement but rather personal commitment to the well-being of an organization where employees feel the need to go above and beyond their call of duty to engage and commit to the company.

As much as the construction industry is suffering today, there is no room for shortcuts.  Construction insurance is a need for survival during this economic state.
