This week, Lucinda talks about the impact of remote working, and how we can best gauge the engagement of our people when they are working in a virtual environment.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS
Engagement is talked about as an outcome, while sometimes it is regarded as a process. Indeed, engagement should be determined by our personal emotional engagement to our roles, or by work engagement - the vigour towards our work.
It is hard to tell whether engagement drives performance, or whether being good at our jobs drives employee engagement.
It is worth understanding why engagement happens, because if we do comprehend this, we are more likely to know why certain people work in certain roles.
Certainly, if people's wellbeing is declining, it is far more difficult to be engaged. This has become especially true and prevalent over the course of the past year.
