    The Importance of Employee Engagement

    Change is a constant in today´s modern business activity. As Harvard Business School Professor John Kotter wrote in Fujitsu´s `Fit for Change´ report, “the current rate of change within businesses is faster than the rate at which organisations are improving…many organisations just can 't keep up with the speed of change.” (www.theinformationdaily.com, 2012). This more and more complex and competitive environment inflicts a greater pressure on the employees; given that the employees are the heart of organisations not approaching them appropriately is one of the main reasons of corporate failure (Argenti, 2009). Although there is not a lot of research done in this field as it is a relatively new concept (Saks, 2006), understanding the importance of employee engagement and implementing a well-developed internal communications plan is crucial for success, especially during change (Dolphin, 1999). The organisation should be guided by experts through all this complexity if it wants to overcome all the tension that originates from the dynamics of change and survive.…
