Engagement and morale are independent of performance. A good leader will know their employees well enough to be able to ask what’s going on. Sometimes it’s a personal issue that’s on their mind. Other times it’s dissatisfaction with the work environment or company as a whole. It’s your job as a manager to address work-related concerns, and if you’re a good manager, you’d address them simply because you care about the employee.

Someone doing their job without going above and beyond is a work related concern?
That is what we are talking about.

I’m on your side, but you keep missing the point. If you’re in charge of people that need to do a job, and while they are getting the work done, they seem miserable, wouldn’t you give enough fucks to find out why? Standing there and saying, “well I can’t fire them because they’re doing the work” is the real problem. Not the definition of engagement.

Why do you think someone doing their job and not going above and beyond is likely to mean they are also miserable?
I would exorct someone who just does the job they signed up for to be happier than someone who things they have to go above and beyond.
