These days, employee engagement is all the rage perhaps not surprising since Gallup reports that companies with engaged employees outperform those without them by 202%. Gallup defines engagement as involved in and enthusiastic about work and the workplace.
At the same time, wellness companies have typically defined engagement as participation in health management programs, rather than overall employee engagement. You could say that traditional focus on health risk- and cost-reduction programs makes sense with health insurance costs at $10,000 per employee and rising.
