How much do you care for the people you work with? For the majority of us, work is all about executing individual tasks and sticking to our own cubicle. We like our daily routine, because it is familiar to us, but little do we want to know about what happens in other cubicles on the same floor.

Employees develop engagement towards their employers, companies and implicitly towards businesses, through commitment to the major organizational requirements and core values. In order to highlight the employees’ evolution within an organization through commitment, a commitment curve was designed. The curve displays the stages through which each person that joins the company should pass in order to subsequently become an engaged employee.
