Workplace Coach: Fully engaged workers produce

WORKERS WHO ARE eager to come into work each day are "engaged"– fully involved in what they do at work and enthusiastic about their contribution and workplace environment.

Disengaged workers are the opposite — clock-watchers waiting for their workday to end (and put them out of their misery) or those who are physically and mentally exhausted by their jobs. Signs of disengagement include absenteeism, low morale, "zombies" going through their day avoiding eye contact and "checked out" workers (think surfing the Internet vs. working).
