English term or phrase: engaged
We don't work in a manage-your-workload-and-daily-objective kind of way, but rather we ask ourselves this: are you engaged and satisfied?

(vous vous sentez) impliqué
Explanation:
"Vous vous sentez", because from the context, the onus seems to be on the employer to "engage" his worker and "satisfy" him, rather than on the worker to prove he is committed.

Not sure what to make of this, since the translation of FX Fraipont has been entered into the glossary. Hope my answer was helpful, but I wouldn't want FX to feel cheated out of his points!

  -> err ... yer right ... it just seems odd to put "engaged" on the same footing as "satisfied" if the first is a requirement. So ... whether the worker or the employer is speaking, it seems, just seems, to imply a worker-friendly ideology.
