Currently, new concepts have emerged such as developing a growth mindset, applying systems thinking to organizational development, enhancing creativity and learning in the workplace, and the introduction of agile principles and methodologies. Agile is associated with a work culture that responds quickly to new opportunities that can be leveraged or threats that must be minimized. The main benefits of agile are productivity gains and the ability to foster innovative thinking and problem-solving. High employee engagement is a playing a critical role in both the quality of work and the ability to attract and retain talent. Improving employee engagement starts with developing a thorough understanding of current engagement levels and this can be achieved through surveys administered by an outside third-party.
