The goal of employee engagement is to earn the gift of discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is a gift because employees make a decision on a daily basis whether or not to give discretionary effort. Discretionary effort is the difference between what an employee does to get a paycheck and what the employee is capable of contributing.
In a culture of rich employee experiences, employees naturally give discretionary effort, moving from completing basic tasks that match their job description to adding value to the tasks they touch.
