Regional Conference.
July 30, 2020
Employee engagement, as a humanistic approach to personnel management, is a powerfully influential model and philosophy that harnesses the full potential of employees by satisfying their higher order of motivational needs. The purpose of employee engagement is to fully align an employee’s professional interests and goals with the organization’s mission and strategic plan in order to ensure organizational success. This is an explanation of employee engagement and its many facets, and how employee engagement has been implemented at the Tampa-Hillsborough Public Library.
