Conflicting views on engagement?
There are a lot of factors to employee engagement. Some employees need recognition, in the form of pay, benefits, seniority or favour. Others need to feel that they are part of the company and have a stake in its success. Still others need to feel a connection to their work; it must be creative and challenging. Most workers probably need some balance of all these factors. I know I wouldn't last long in a dull and repetitive environment. But I also would feel unappreciated if I weren't remunerated appropriately.
