What is Employee Engagement?

Employee engagement gauges emotional commitment and discretionary effort factors proven to drive productivity, innovation, and retention. High engagement correlates with 21 % higher profitability and 59 % lower turnover, according to Gallup meta-analysis. A modern SaaS organization can’t afford blind spots here.

Purpose & Strategic Value

1. **Retention Shield – **Flag disengaged teams months before resignation spikes.
2. Productivity Lift – Identify blockers to flow tools, processes, leadership and remove them fast.
3. Employer Brand – Showcase improving engagement trends to attract top talent and investors.
4. Cost Control – Each voluntary departure can cost 1–2× salary; preventing just five exits often pays for the entire platform.
