What are the most influential drivers of engagement in your organization?
1) CEO Involvement
Will the CEO be involved in the survey instrument approval process and ensure management accountability for action plan development, implementation, and improvement? Is there a web-based action planning system available for all managers to develop, execute, and track post-survey action plans?
2) People Metric for Managers
Are employee engagement indexes integrated into management performance appraisal standards?
3) Continuous Integrated Management
Is the management/leadership of employee engagement a continuous data-based organizational process and priority?
4) Measurement Consistency
Is the employee engagement measurement survey scheduled at the same time each year, with quarterly listening posts and progress reports?
5) Stockholder Confidence
Are employee engagement measures included in the annual report to stockholders?
6) Positive Reinforcement
Do leaders and managers who consistently engage employees get priority in promotions and bonuses?
7) Recruiting and Retention Application
Are comments from fully-engaged employees posted on the company web-site as “employee testimonials”? Are identified engagement drivers used to enhance recruiting and retention efforts?
