Description

Employee engagement has now become the buzz word in employee survey research. For years we have been measuring the satisfaction levels of our employees. Now we’re being asked to measure engagement.

But are the two constructs really different? Most organizations struggle with trying to define employee engagement and differentiating engagement and satisfaction. In our hearts, we know having employees who are more motivated and committed actually makes a difference to the organization and to our customers. So how do we measure whether or not our employees are engaged?

Foresight’s model of employee engagement provides a simple and realistic framework for identifying issues that drive engagement. The engagement model helps managers focus on issues that matter most to their employees by starting at the basic level. The employee engagement model works with every type of survey instrument. It is not prescriptive and does not dictate what questions you should or should not include on your survey. However, recommendations are given for questions that are proven to measure employee engagement. The framework can be applied to all employee survey processes.

This session will provide information and hands-on tools to those who are involved in employee engagement surveys as well as others who use data to drive organizational change and improve leader performance. GOOD Network participants who are not “engaged” in employee surveys will find the tools helpful and applicable to other organizational development and change efforts.
