The four types of employee engagement are actively engaged, not engaged, actively disengaged, and fully engaged. Actively engaged employees are enthusiastic, involved, and contribute beyond their roles. Not engaged employees meet basic expectations but lack motivation or emotional connection. Actively disengaged individuals are unhappy and may undermine team progress.
Fully engaged employees combine loyalty, high performance, and advocacy. Recognizing these distinctions helps leaders target the right strategies to move employees up the engagement scale and reduce cultural drag.
