The 6 C’s of employee engagement are as follows, both the employee and the employer need to-Commit, Communicate, Collaborate, Connect, Create and Celebrate. Growth is not what the organization gives you; it is what you strive for and consequently what you earn. An engaged employee commits himself to the overall organizational vision, vis-à-vis his personal goals. It is the collaboration of his talents, his desires and the organizations objectives. It is creating an eco-system where the employee strives to BE the change the organization wants. It is building a connect of trust and pride.
