There’s a difference between being at work and really being there. The Gallup Management Journal places employees in one of three categories:

• Engaged: These employees are passionate about work and feel connected to their company. These are the innovators; the movers and shakers.
• Not Engaged: These are the zombies in your organization. They put in their eight hours and the bare minimum amount of effort to get by.
• Actively Disengaged: These employees are disgruntled. They waste away their hours on the Internet and on the phone. They may even be actively sabotaging the work of other employees.

Can you guess what group high performers and high potentials are almost always found in? (Engaged, of course!) So how do we engage a higher percentage of our employees?
