Employee engagement levels continue to be tested in today’s workplace. The movement to have employees come back to the office has generally lowered these engagement levels to between 40%-60%!
So, what is Employee Engagement?
Employee engagement is more than just job satisfaction—it’s about employees being emotionally committed to their work and more, feel motivated, and drive company success. However, engagement isn’t automatic; it requires the right tools and strategies to align employees with their roles. One such tool is the PXT Select assessment, a powerful solution for hiring and developing employees in ways that enhance engagement.
Here are three ways PXT Select assessments support employee engagement:
Better Job Fit from the Start
PXT Select assessments measure a candidate’s cognitive abilities, behavioral traits, and interests, helping employers determine if they are the right fit for a role. When employees are placed in positions that match their strengths and work styles, they are more likely to feel confident, perform well, and stay engaged. Poor job fit, on the other hand, can lead to frustration and disengagement. Some studies indicate that good Job Fit improves performance by up to 42%.
Personalized Development & Growth
Engagement thrives when employees see opportunities for growth. PXT Select assessments provide insights into an employee’s strengths and areas for development, allowing managers to tailor training and career development plans. When employees feel their company is invested in their success, they are more likely to be engaged and motivated.
Improved Communication & Team Dynamics
Engagement is closely linked to workplace relationships. PXT Select assessments help managers understand employees’ communication styles, problem-solving approaches, and work preferences. This fosters stronger teamwork, reduces misunderstandings, and helps leaders manage teams more effectively. Employees who work well with their teams and feel understood by their managers are naturally more engaged.
The Connection Between Engagement & Job Fit
Ultimately, employee engagement is strongest when there is a good job fit. Employees who align with their roles are more productive, satisfied, and committed to their work. When organizations use tools like PXT Select to ensure proper job fit, they create an environment where employees can thrive—leading to higher engagement, lower turnover, and a more successful business.
Investing in job fit isn’t just a hiring decision; it’s a long-term engagement strategy. When employees feel they belong, understand their roles, and have room to grow, they are more likely to stay engaged and contribute meaningfully to the organization’s success.
