"On my morning walk, I hopped onto the Mobile App to request time off for my upcoming trip and complete a pulse survey our HR team sent to assess employee engagement – all before I even got home."
"I got a notification that there was a new post in Community from our CEO. She shared a video message about last quarter's performance with our entire organization and even answered a question I asked in the comments."
"A new colleague was automatically added to our team group in Community and was introduced to the rest of us with a fun icebreaker! We even started chatting and they contributed to the agenda file our supervisor creates and seeks input on for our team meetings — all right in the platform."
"My teammates really impressed me with the presentation they gave today, so I recognized them with a peer recognition badge and a reward boost. Other workers added their support with comments, emojis, and gifs since it pulled right into the Community feed. I’m glad that will show in their performance review for their boss to see, too!"
"I reached out to our IT team via an Ask an Expert Group for help setting up my work phone. In these groups, we can pose questions to designated group experts who manage via a dashboard to ensure nothing’s missed."
"I love to share videos in the “Dog Owners” Community group when my puppy does something cute or read posts on the “Dad Jokes” group when I need a pick-me-up. It’s nice to build connections beyond work-specific activities."
"Sometimes unexpected expenses arise that make it tough to make it between paychecks. With On Demand Payment, I can quickly request a portion of my earned wages before payday right from the Paylocity Mobile App."
There’s no question that employee engagement is a trending topic in human resources. But let’s take a step back and define what it means – and why it matters.
Employee engagement is both a quantitative and qualitative look at how connected employees are to the companies they work for. At its core, engagement refers to three elements: job satisfaction, loyalty, and the effort spent toward organizational goals. In the past, HR departments would send out annual employee engagement surveys and employees would self-report their sentiment. However, more sophisticated employee engagement assessment tools have now made analyzing and tracking data easier to benchmark.
So why is this important? Work is no longer just a 9-5, punch in and out commitment. Research shows that employees who are more aligned to their company’s mission, feel passionate about what they do, and have positive emotions about the company culture are more productive – meaning higher profitability for your organization. For this reason, many HR teams are employing modern workplace technology, such as human capital management platforms with integrated employee engagement tools, to monitor and improve their employee engagement.

There are three types of employee engagement:
Actively Engaged Employees: These are employees that feel attached to their work and motivated to start their day. When meeting with them, they provide new ideas and insight to projects. If your company is using employee engagement tools, actively engaged employees would rank high on utilization scores within your platform.
Not Engaged Employees: Though not necessarily unhappy, an employee who isn’t engaged is simply going through the motions of their everyday tasks. They are merely doing what is asked of them – neither overachieving nor underachieving. Employees who fall under this category would be a great area for your team to focus on.
Actively Disengaged Employees: This group of employees is not only unhappy, but they are also the most likely to spread their energy upon others in your company. Using your employee engagement online tools to identify these employees early on and intervene with their management may be beneficial, before allowing too much detraction to spread.
Use the new Modern Workforce Index to identify and track the three types of employee engagement.
