A motivated employee becomes engaged in their workplace. Employee engagement is an important part of an organization’s success. Research has found that organizations with engaged employees have three times higher profit margins compared to organizations with disengaged employees. Shareholder returns, operating income, and revenue growth have also had higher financial performance in employee engaged organizations. In addition, employee engagement is linked to lower absenteeism within an organization. Employers that practice employee motivation and engagement techniques in their organization will likely see an increase in overall business performance.

Viewpoints: Focuses on United States, touches very little on United Kingdom, where the term was first coined, according to the beginning of the article. From the text: "The expression "work–life balance" was first used in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s to describe the balance between an individual's work and personal life." I think that it would have been important to talk further on how the term came about in the United Kingdom. It also touches on the European Union at the end, but the article would be more interesting if it went more in depth on perspectives of work-life balance in other countries, especially countries/cultures that value interdependence. United States = over represented; other countries = under represented

The intro to the article is kind of boring, and I lost interest pretty quickly. The author is all over the place rather than writing more chronologically. It didn't get any better as I continued to read the article...
