The engagement model has been flipped on its head.
The traditional way of thinking about engagement is linear - employee engagement leads to improved business performance. But recent research is pointing to a much more circular model. It goes something like this:

Performance drives engagement, which in turn impacts performance.

Consider the three factors widely understood to be the biggest drivers of engagement:

1. Work: Having the resources and skills to deliver challenging and meaningful work.

2. Autonomy: Freedom to make decisions; having a stake in business outcomes.

3. Manager: A manager who listens, encourages open communication, and respects individuals.

Do these factors directly impact employee engagement? Or is it more likely that they improve performance, which in turn drives engagement? We're unlikely to feel engaged if we're not doing a good job, or if the company we work for is failing. We all enjoy being part of a winning team - even better if we also feel that we’re contributing to that team’s success.
