Level 5 Employee Engagement module

Hi all, 

I really hope someone may be able to help ! I am currently at the end of the employee engagement module and getting stuck into the assignment but struggling terribly with the most simple part.... CIPD's definition of employee engagement. 

This is something that was discussed however looking at the CIPD website the factsheet talks about the different approaches to defining it. I believe it may have been about on the 2016 version of the factsheet which has just been updated at the end of last year. 

Is there anyone who has completed this module previously who has the CIPD's definition?

I will be so grateful for anyone's help.

  • Hi Bobbie

    I haven't reached this module yet but if you Google it, the website engageforsuccess.org states the following -

    "the CIPD has defined employee engagement as “being positively present during the performance of work by willingly contributing intellectual effort, experiencing positive emotions and meaningful connections to other”.

    Does this help?

  • This is the definition I used in my assignment
  • Thank you Lisa, that is really helpful.
    I had recalled seeing someone reference (CIPD, 2016) so had a panic moment that I couldn't find anything from CIPD themselves.

  • hi Deborah,

    I hope you can help, ive also messaged Bobbie too. I'm completing this unit at present.
    1.1 an analysis of the meaning, principal dimensions and components of employee engagement and how it differs, if at all, from related concepts such as organisational commitment, employer involvement, job satisfaction
    I understand each of these but its composing each answer so that I'm not just listing each part.
    I have given different definitions and stated that each vary. I noted the dimensions - affective, normative and continuance commitment. Do I need to mention anything else?

    I have talked about the components of EE such as clarity of job role, career advancement etc I'm not sure how to then link in with Org Commitment, employer involvement and job satisfaction.

    Any help would be great
    Thanks,
    Marie
