Ask a leader if they know what a highly engaged employee looks like and they can quickly identify attributes such as high energy, trustworthy, very productive, and many more. But ask them what causes an employee to be highly engaged, and they will grapple with a response. Some might point to “stretch goals” or “tough love.” Others might tout the financial incentives they receive.

In fact, one study found that 95% of leaders could not identify what makes someone highly engaged compared to academic research.

There is a mostly unknown science behind employee engagement that many leaders fail to understand and, therefore, fail to implement in their engagement strategy.

Engagement isn’t about pizza parties and employee of the month mugs. The science goes deeper into the motivational psychology of engagement.

In this audio series, we break down the science with 20 audio segments presented by Motivity founder Rod Brace, Ph.D., our expert on engagement and leadership.

After completing the series, you will easily identify what causes an employee to be highly engaged (and what causes employees to disengage), and you will have the science-backed tools you will need to improve engagement in your organization.
