Engagement is a multifactorial dynamic that should be considered both within ourselves and within management. Very few people lose their jobs because of a lack of skills or education; the cause is usually related to deficiencies in behaviors—the intangibles—that are not consistent with the company’s culture.
Understanding your personal intrinsic motivators acts as a personal compass to locate and maintain the ideal job that enhances and leverages your skills, interests, and talents. It is an important step in order to reach high levels of engagement as an employee.
