Findings
In early 2012 various researches around employee engagement found their way into the mainstream press in the UK. Studies show, said the reports, that the majority of firms' employees seemed to enjoy working for their companies and were satisfied with their working life. However only a very small percentage actually engaged with their firms, to the extent that they were willing to go the extra mile to make them successful.
Practical implications
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to digest format.
