Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Employee Engagement is the extent to which employees think, feel, and act in ways that
represent high levels of commitment to their organization. Engaged employees are motivated to
contribute 100% of their knowledge, skills, and abilities to help their organization succeed. They
care deeply about their company, want to contribute to its success, and regularly have peak
experiences at work.
Further guidance on employee engagement is available in the 'Engaging for success: enhancing
performance through employee engagement' report - produced after the Department for Business,
Innovation & Skills (BIS) commissioned an independent review into engagement in the
workplace.
Employee engagement starts with managers showing a clear and collective commitment to
making employee engagement part of business culture. This means sharing information on
business plans and performance, making sure you live your business values and seeking views
and ideas from employees on how to improve your business.
It is a two-way street. Encourage your employees to play their part by sharing their feedback,
raising concerns and supporting the way you do business.
This guide introduces employee engagement - what it means and how it works. It provides best
practice on how you can develop integrity in your business by defining, communicating and
embedding values and supportive behaviour.
Employee engagement matters because engaged employees create loyal customers who, in turn,
drive profitable growth. That is the simple conclusion at the heart of "Putting the Service-Profit
Chain to Work", a seminal study of successful service organizations published in the Harvard
Business Review in 1994.
Based on an analysis of major US corporations such as Banc One, Intuit Corporation, Southwest
Airlines, ServiceMaster, USAA, Taco Bell, and MCI, the Harvard study established the links in
the Service-Profit Chain: Profit and growth are stimulated primarily by customer loyalty.
Customer loyalty is a direct result of customer satisfaction. Customer satisfaction is largely
influenced by the value they attach to the services provided. Value is created by satisfied, loyal,
and productive employees. Employee satisfaction, loyalty and productivity are in turn stimulated
by policies, practices and support services which inspire employees to deliver results to
customers.
In other words, the Service-Profit Chain shows how employee engagement impacts on customer
satisfaction and profitability. And it shows management the importance of focusing on the
factors which drive engagement: investment in recruitment, training and development, and the
technology that supports people, together with performance management systems which properly
link performance and pay.
For some business leaders the Harvard model did not provide the hard evidence they needed to
justify the required level of investment. However, a number of other studies have made good the
deficit, most notably the Sears Employee-Customer-Profit Chain Model which was at the heart
of a far-reaching culture change and financial turnaround at the US retail giant in the early
1990's. This model shows that a 5 point improvement in employee attitudes towards their own
job and towards Sears as a company predicts a 0.5% increase in revenue.
Since the turn of the century a number of studies have supported these findings. In 2004 Sirota
Consulting studied 28 multinational companies and found that the share prices of organizations
with highly engaged employees rose by an average of 16 per cent compared with an industry
average of 6 per cent. And an ISR study published in 2005 showed that in companies with above
average levels of employee engagement profits rose by 2.06 per cent and the operating margin
rose by 3.74 per cent over 36-months. Conversely, companies with low levels of employee
engagement saw net profit fall by 1.38 per cent and the operating margin fall by 2.01 per cent
over a 36-month period.
For other business leaders the statistics are not necessary. To them the relationship between
employee engagement and profitable growth is self-evident. When asked which measurements
"give the best sense of a company's health" in a recent Business Week advice column, former GE
Chairman and CEO Jack Welch replied: "Employee engagement first. It goes without saying that
no company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe
in the mission and understand how to achieve it. That's why you need to take the measure of
employee engagement at least once a year through anonymous surveys in which people feel
completely safe to speak their minds." And as Richard Branson says: "We embarked on
consciously building Virgin into a brand which stood for quality, value, fun and a sense of
challenge. We also developed these ideas in the belief that our first priority should be the people
who work for the companies, then the customers, then the shareholders. Because if the staff are
motivated then the customers will be happy, and the shareholders will then benefit through the
company's success."
In summary the research shows what some of the world's most respected business leaders already
know: the links between employee engagement, customer satisfaction and organizational
performance are beyond question. However, it also shows that high levels of engagement are far
from being the norm. Indeed, recent research from Towers Perrin 1 describes
employee DISENGAGEMENT as a global epidemic. Therefore, the challenge for many
companies is to properly measure engagement, identify its key drivers and create a culture is
which engagement becomes "the way we do things around here".
Employee engagement benefits everyone involved with your business by creating an informed,
involved and productive workplace that helps propel your business towards its goals. Engaged
employees:
Engaged employees also have a stronger sense of personal well-being and feel more involved,
committed and productive at work.
"Engaged employees enjoy their work and are proud to tell people that they work for the
Company. They go the extra mile to help their customers and colleagues, and they want
to stay and develop a career with the Company. In the long run they are the real
contributors."
This definition forms the basis for our model, which reduces the inherent complexity to
measurable proportions.
The extent to which people feel that they are doing the job they want to do and
Work
are equipped to do
The extent to which people feel supported in their efforts by their manager and
Support
colleagues
The extent to which people feel that their efforts and contribution are recognised
Recognition
and valued
The extent to which people are willing to recommend their company to family and
Advocacy
friends
The extent to which people feel that managers and colleagues "walk the talk" in
Values
terms of the company's values
The combined scores for these six questions enable us to construct an Engagement Matrix which
describes the level of engagement in a Company or any part of that company.
Engaged employees are those who get satisfaction from their work AND are committed to their
employer. They are the real contributors. Disaffected employees are those who are negative on
both counts. They can be expected to make a minimal contribution, have a negative impact on
their colleagues, or leave the Company. The two most interesting categories are the uncommitted
and the frustrated. The former are those who take satisfaction from their individual jobs but have
little sense of commitment to the company. The latter are those who are committed to the
Company
Having established a measure of engagement we then look at how each of the other issues
covered by the survey affects those two dimensions, and identify the things that matter most to
its people - the key drivers of engagement. Those are the issues that need to be focused on to
raise the level of engagement.
For the first year we recommend a top level company-wide approach. Senior management and HR
assume direct responsibility for promoting the survey, maximising the response, championing post-survey
actions and ensuring that they are followed through. Analysis and reporting are conducted at a company
wide-level and the focus is on the big engagement issues rather than departmental or team level concerns.
This company-wide approach reduces concerns about confidentiality and helps to maximise the response.
Positioning the senior team as the principal engagement champions helps to raise the profile of employee
engagement throughout the company.
For the second year we recommend a more in-depth approach. Senior management and HR continue to
play a part in promoting the survey, and monitoring the roll-out of post-survey actions. However, direct
responsibility for the survey and the broader engagement process is delegated to the next management tier
such as divisional/departmental heads. It is now their responsibility to maximise the response, champion
post-survey actions and ensure that they are followed through. Analysis and reporting are conducted at a
divisional/departmental as well as at a Company wide-level, and the focus is now on the generation of
divisional/departmental solutions to the key engagement issues. The tangible improvements which
followed the first survey should help to ensure a high level of involvement in the survey and commitment
to the engagement process.
After two surveys and two rounds of the engagement process it is time to delegate responsibility for
engagement down to line managers and team leaders. It is their task to maximise the response, champion
post-survey actions and ensure that they are followed through. Analysis and reporting are now conducted
at a team level as well as at a divisional/departmental and Company wide-level, and the focus is on line
managers and team leaders working with their teams to the generate team solutions to the key
engagement issues. It is at this level - line managers and team leaders working with the own teams - that
engagement really takes root and becomes an integral part of the company's culture. And in that context it
is useful to recall the point made by the CIPD: Engagement is something the employee has to offer: it
cannot be "required" as part of the employment contract.
Based on worldwide research onto the drivers of employee engagement, The Training
Foundation developed the CHOICETM model in consultation with a number of major clients. This
innovative model has the objective of providing leaders and managers with clear insight into the
real issues they face in sustaining high levels of engagement in their people.
The Ivey Business Journal published a report that supports the employee engagement element of
this list and perhaps goes even further by suggesting that everything begins with employee
engagement.
They refer to Seijits & Krim’s model of Ten C’s within Employee Engagement that encompasses
the elements of resourcing and skills and development as components of employee engagement.
The Ten C’s of Employee Engagement tell that how can leaders engage employees’ heads, hearts
and hands. The literature offers several avenues for action; we summarize these as the Ten C’s of
Employee Engagement.
1. Connect
Managers should connect with employees.
If relationship with their managers is fractured, then no amount of perks will
persuade employees to perform at top levels.
Employee engagement is a direct reflection of how employees feel about their
relationship with the boss.
2. Career
Leaders should provide challenging and meaningful work with opportunities for c
areer advancement.
Organizations must provide job rotation for their top talent and assign stretch
goals.
Are people accountable for progress?
Are jobs enriched in duties and responsibilities?
Good leaders challenge employees; but at the same time, they instill the
confidence that the challenges can be met.
3. Clarity
Leaders must communicate a clear vision.
People want to understand the vision that senior leadership has for the
organization, and the goals that leaders or departmental heads have for the
division, unit, or team.
Success in life and organizations depends critically on how clear individuals are
about their goals and what they really want to achieve.
4. Convey
Leaders must clarify their expectations about employees and provide
feedback on their functioning in the organization.
Good leaders establish processes and procedures that help people master
important tasks and facilitate goal achievement.
They also provide feedback.
5. Congratulate
Employees often receive immediate feedback when their performance
is poor, or below expectations.
But praise and recognition for strong performance is much less common.
6. Contribute
People want to know that their input matters and
that they are contributing to the organization’s success in a meaningful way.
Employees’ understanding of the connection between their work and the
strategic objectives of the company has a positive impact on job performance.
Good leader’s help people see and feel how they are contributing to the
organization’s success and future.
7. Collaborate
Studies show that, when employees work in teams and have
the trust and cooperation of their team
members, they outperform individuals and teams which lack good relationships.
Great leaders are team builders.
They create an environment that fosters trust and collaboration.
8. Credibility
Leaders should strive to maintain a company’s reputation and
demonstrate high ethical standards.
People want to be proud of their jobs, their performance, and their organization.
That is not possible in an unethical organization.
9. Control
Employees value control over the flow and pace of their jobs.
Leaders can create opportunities for employees to exercise this control.
Leaders must consult with their employees with regard to their needs.
Key questions are :
o Do leaders involve employees in decision-making, particularly when
employees will be directly affected by the decision?
o Do employees have a say in setting goals or milestones that are deemed
important?
o Are employees able to voice their ideas?
10. Confidence
Good leaders help create confidence in a company by being role models for high
ethical and performance standards.
Conclusion
There is a compelling case for leaders to make employee
engagement one of their priorities.
Leaders should actively try to identify the level of engagement in their
organization, find the reasons behind the lack of full engagement, strive to
eliminate those reasons, and implement behavioral strategies that will facilitate
full engagement.
These efforts should be ongoing.
Employee engagement is hard to achieve.
If not sustained by leaders, it can wither with relative ease.
If sustained, it gives an unmatched competitive advantage.
The Three Aspects of Employee Engagement
Global studies suggest that there are three aspects of employee engagement:
The employee and their own unique psychological makeup and experience.
The employer and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee
engagement.
Interaction between employees at all levels.
Employee engagement creates great motivation within employees for the work they do and
increases their commitment to the organization. It is about creating an enthusiasm for their
roles, their work and the organization, well informed and well integrated with their colleagues
and the fabric or culture of the organization.
Use Employee Appreciation Day to kickoff a new, year-round employee recognition effort or
energize your existing one. By recognizing and rewarding employees throughout the year, it
creates a culture of appreciation and a highly motivated satisfied workforce within our
organization.
Giving employees a generic company watch or one-size-fits-all “gift” is an uninspiring way to say
thank you. Rather, award your employees by giving them a choice of meaningful, self selected
rewards such as gift cards, quality merchandise or travel vouchers. When employees redeem
their award, it will create an important “Recognition Moment” - with impact.
3. Empower Everyone in the Process-From the Board Room to the Mail Room:
Employee recognition should not reside solely on the shoulders of management. Every person
in the organization should be empowered to acknowledge their peers and co-workers for a job
well done. This enables frequent recognition and engages the entire staff – not just the top 10%-
in the process.
4. Tie Rewards to the Bigger Picture for Bigger Results:
Employee recognition should be directly linked to the company’s vision/mission. This aligns the
entire workforce towards achieving critical company milestones.
By Melanie Joy Douglas, Monster.ca , a new report identifies seven clear indicators of
employee engagement and points to how Canadian employers should be addressing
employee satisfaction and retention.
“While business leaders may recognize the importance of the top seven factors,” says
Phillips, “there is still a large gap between what employees need and what is being
provided in Canadian workplaces.
Money, compensations, and perks are not even in the top seven. Rather agrees that
these survey results provide “a checklist for organizations to utilize when reviewing their
own success in dealing with satisfaction, retention, and workplace mental health
issues.”
Emotional Attachment
Only 29% of employees are actively engaged in their jobs. These employees work with
passion and feel a profound connection to their company.
People that are actively engaged help move the organization forward. 84% of highly
engaged employees believe they can positively impact quality of their organization’s
product, compared with only 31% of the disengaged. 72% of the highly engaged
employees believe they can positively affect, versus 27% of the disengaged. 68% of
highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact costs in their job or unit,
compared with 19% of the disengaged. Engaged employees feel a strong emotional
bond to the organization that employs them. This is associated with people
demonstrating a willing to recommend the organization to others and commit time and
effort to help the organization succeed. It suggests that people are motivated by intrinsic
factors rather than simply focusing on extrinsic factors.
Involvement
Eileen Appelbaum and her colleagues studied 15, 17 apparel manufacturers, and 10
electronic instrument and imaging equipment producers. Their purpose was to compare
traditional production system with flexible high-performance production systems
involving teams, training, and incentive pay systems. In all three industries, the plants
utilizing high-involvement practices showed superior performance. In addition, workers,
in the high-involvement showed more positive attitudes, including organizational
commitment and intrinsic enjoyment of the work. The concept has gained popularity as
various studies have demonstrated links with. It is often linked to the notion of employee
voice.
Commitment
It has been routinely found that employee engagement scores account for as much as half of
the variance in customer satisfaction scores. This translates into millions of dollars for
companies if they can improve their scores. Studies have statistically demonstrated that
engaged employees are more productive, more profitable, more customer-focused, safer and
less likely to leave their employer.
Employees with the highest level of performance 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave
the organization performance. For example, at the beverage company of, it was found that
engaged employees were five times less likely than non-engaged employees to have a safety
incident and seven times less likely to have lost-time safety incident. In fact, the average cost of
a safety incident for an engaged employee was 63, compared with an average of $392 for a
non-engaged employee. Consequently, through strengthening employee engagement, the
company saved $1,721,760 in safety costs in 2002. In addition, savings were found in sales
performance teams through engagement. In 2005, for example, low-engagement teams were
seen falling behind engaged teams, with a difference in performance-related costs of low-
engagement versus high-engagement teams totaling $2,104,823.3.
1. Strategic HR Planning:
People are the main resource that organizations have for delivering services. Strategic
HR Planning links HR management directly to an organization’s strategic plan and that
means that staff will have meaningful roles tied to the strategic direction of the
organization.
2. Strategically Planning:
How your organization will meet its current and future HR needs and how people will be
supported and nurtured within your organization is critical for success.
3. Operational HR Planning:
Though usually not ranked the most important, compensation is an important factor in
job satisfaction. An employee who feels adequately compensated monetarily is more
likely to stay with your organization.
5. Developing HR Policies:
Policies and procedures both communicate the values of your organization and provide
everyone with a consistent process to follow. Policies and procedures provide your
employees with a process to follow and that knowledge can help them confidently
approach situations- particularly difficult situations.
7. Job descriptions:
Job descriptions are basic HR management tools that can help to increase individual
and organization effectiveness. A well-written job description sets an employee up for
success by outlining their responsibilities and the parameters of their position. Job
descriptions also show how an employee’s position contributes to the mission, goals
and objectives of the organization.
8. Performance Management:
Establishes clear communication between the manager and the employee about what
s/he expected to accomplish Provides on-going, constructive feedback on performance.
Establishes plans for improving performance, as necessary Identifies the skills and
abilities of each employee so that work assignments build on and reflect an employee’s
strengths. Identifies individual employees for more challenging work assists and
supports staff in achieving their work and career goals by identifying training needs and
development opportunities contributes to succession management plan so that
employee skills are developed and employers develop they need to fill an potential HR
gap in the future.
Creating an environment where people feel welcome and safe from harassment and
discrimination motives staff to perform absenteeism and performance problems
decrease while productivity, morale and employee retention increases.
When you develop and support effective teams, you enhance the power and feeling of
satisfaction of individuals working on the team. When a team works well, it means that
staff trusts one another and that leads to better sharing of knowledge and
understanding.
In a healthy workplace, there will be conflict. Having a conflict resolution policy and a
process will mean that conflict is constructive and not destructive.
A healthy workplace means more than just warding off colds and the flu. It is more
holistic and takes into consideration the physical, spiritual, environmental, intellectual,
occupational and mental health of employees. Wellness promotion doesn’t just benefit
the employee because an organization filled with healthy, balanced and fulfilled
employees, is a productive workplace that retains its employees.
Giving employees sense of shared values and purpose by creating a relationship with
them is important. When you thank employees you value them and that, in turn, is
motivating. Updating staff on organizational issues through internal communications like
e-mail updates and newsletters builds the sense of team and their value to the team.
15. Staff-volunteer relations:
Develop a sense of team with staff and volunteers contributing to the organization’s
mission.
1. Employee satisfaction
2. Job satisfaction
Employee Satisfaction
Of course, few workers will not experience a boost in morale after receiving more money.
Raises and bonuses can seriously affect employee satisfaction, and should be given when
possible. Yet money cannot solve all morale issues, and if a company with widespread
problems for workers cannot improve their overall environment, a bonus may be quickly
forgotten as the daily stress of an unpleasant job continues to mount.
If possible, provide amenities to your workers to improve morale. Make certain they have a
comfortable, clean break room with basic necessities such as running water. Keep facilities
such as bathrooms clean and stocked with supplies. While an air of professionalism is
necessary for most businesses, allowing workers to keep family photos or small trinkets on their
desk can make them feel more comfortable and nested at their workstation. Basic
considerations like these can improve employee satisfaction, as workers will feel well cared for
by their employers.
The backbone of employee satisfaction is respect for workers and the job they perform. In every
interaction with management, employees should be treated with courtesy and interest. An easy
avenue for employees to discuss problems with upper management should be maintained and
carefully monitored. Even if management cannot meet all the demands of employees,
showing workers that they are being heard and putting honest dedication into compromising will
often help to improve morale.
Energy
If the air around the office is crackling with energy and enthusiasm then it definitely indicates
that everyone is raring to go! The spring in the step definitely indicates that the person is
charged up to face a multitude of tasks. A spontaneous rendition of the latest popular song
while being alert and glued to the monitor just indicates that the person is enjoying his job just
like one would a song and dance routine!
Smile
This curve is the most obvious indication of an employee's satisfaction. Happy employees make
for happy work environments. The lack of a smile and an agitated demeanor clearly signals that
the employee is not happy about something within the company, be it the individual's job, or the
work environment.
Banter
Office banter roughly includes coffee table and lunchroom conversations and general gossip.
Keep track of the groups of employees who gravitate together out of common interests. What is
being discussed at these places will help the HR department effectively pinpoint the levels of
satisfaction within the office.
Employees who are happy with their jobs do not mind taking extra loads of the same kind. Since
they obviously enjoy what they are doing, they do not mind the extra work once in a while!
Faithfulness to Deadlines
Adhering to deadlines is not a problem when a job is executed with enthusiasm. Lack of
motivation coupled with lethargy is kept at bay as the work is viewed not as burden but as
fun. All these indicators will prove effective only if the HR manager takes pains to keep himself
abreast of office happenings. Expecting genuine feedback through form filling is asinine, as it is
the most sterile form of communication.
Job Satisfaction
This is when a person considers the whole job and everything about it. Overall job
satisfaction is actually a combination of intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction:
Intrinsic Job Satisfaction is when workers consider only the kind of work they
do, the tasks that make up the job.
Extrinsic Job Satisfaction is when workers consider the conditions of work,
such as their pay, coworkers, and supervisor.
These two types of satisfaction are different, and it helps to look at jobs from both points
of view. For example, if you are dissatisfied with your current job, ask yourself, "To
what extent is it due to the kind of work I am doing?" and "To what extent is it due
to the conditions of my work?" If it is primarily the kind of work you are doing, it
is intrinsic job dissatisfaction. This calls for a different solution, than if your
dissatisfaction is extrinsic in nature.
And, second, you want to recognize that job satisfaction is influenced by job
expectations - what people look for or require from a job such as job security, pay,
prestige, or independence. And, that some people have higher expectations for work
than others. What expectations do you have for your work? How strong are they?
What can you do to maximize your job satisfaction? Based on research and the
experience of professional career specialists, here are eight recommendations:
i. Know yourself.
ii. Learn about jobs that are most likely to meet your expectations.
iii. Consider consulting a professional career counselor.
iv. Do not allow your job dissatisfactions to go unresolved for long.
v. Have realistic expectations for work.
vi. Look separately at the kind of work you are doing versus the conditions of work.
vii. Look down the road at your possible career progress.
viii. Examine your values -- what is most important to you.

Figure 11
Our final employee engagement graph shows the highly satisfied level of all the
attributes. It clearly shows that in confidence attribute employees feel the
greatest satisfaction and have a very positive attribute towards it.
The second best satisfaction level is with control attribute. Employees feel that
they have enough authority and power to take decisions which gives them
satisfaction in their job.
Third best level is with clarity attribute. A majority of employees feel high
satisfaction in clarity attribute also. They are clear with all rules and regulations of
Co. as well as mission and vision of the Co.
Fourth best level is with collaborate attribute. Collaborate attribute shows the
quality of leadership in team work. Most of the employees are happy with the
quality of work of their leaders which shows that the teams are working very
efficiently.
Fifth best level goes to convey. It shows that most of the employees are very
clear about that what is expected them at their work.
Sixth level is of contribute attribute. It is on sixth level which shows that almost
only half of the employees are fully satisfied with their contribution in the working
of Co. It is not the positive indication because the other of employees feel that
they are not contributing as they can.
Seventh is career. In career also almost half of the employees are fully satisfied.
There is need to provide some training, job rotation, job enlargement and self
development activities for the career improvement of employees so that the other
half of employees will also be able to achieve the high satisfaction level.
Eighth level of high satisfaction is congratulations and credibility. Here exact half
of employees are fully satisfied in congratulations and credibility. The Co. needs
to provide recognition, performance appraisal, Gifts, incentives, bonus etc. so
that other employees will also motivate themselves to work better with their best
efforts and efficiency and then this bar will also try to reach its topmost level.
And lowest place goes to connect. It shows that the Co. needs to do lot of efforts
in making the employees connect with their bosses as well as with their
organization because this attribute is at the lowest place in getting high
satisfaction level.
Chapter 5
Findings & Inferences
FINDINGS
3. Only few areas need some efforts. It is proved that India bulls leaders engage
employees heads, hearts and hands in a complete manner.
INFERENCES
The inferences to be drawn from these findings are clear: providing your employees
with career opportunities helps drive engagement, and facilitating effective career
discussions helps create career opportunities. In other words, a line can be drawn from
career discussion through career opportunities to employee engagement. As a large
and growing body of research suggests, engagement is a key contributor to the
productivity of the individual and, ultimately, the performance of the organization.
Neither career discussion nor career opportunities, however, should be regarded as
magic bullets. As our research shows, career discussion is one of several factors
contributing to an employee’s sense that his or her organization provides career
opportunities, just as career opportunities, in turn, represent one of several factors
driving engagement. Engaging employees is a complex challenge requiring a multi-
pronged approach.
Chapter 6
RECOMMENDATIONS
2. Training & cultural session should be the part of policy of the organization.
4. Improvement in tax planning, provident fund & other benefits are also required.
7. Job rotation should be there so that all the employees are familiar with each
other’s job & they will be skilled in all aspects.
