An employee’s engagement affects:

• reported levels of stress at work
• bringing home stress to family and friends
• anxiety and depression levels
• cholesterol levels

When it comes to employee wellbeing, engagement levels have a much greater effect than other corporate policies such as hours worked, flextime and vacation time.
