Key Outcomes
Employee Engagement
Definition
Employee engagement definitions vary from “a positive emotional connection to an employee’s
work” to “engaged employees are inspired to go above and beyond the call of duty to help meet
business goals”
Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards
their organization and its values. In essence, companies strive for engaged employees because
they are those who work longer hours, try harder, accoplish more and speak positvely about their
organizations.
Employee engagement is one step ahead of employee satisfaction. Employee is not only satisfied
with the management decisions, salary and things but also giving back to the organization in
terms of commitment, dedication, and loyalty.
Employee Engagement is the level of commitment an employee has towards the organization.
The primary behaviours of engaged employees are: speaking positively about the organization to
5
co-workers, potential employees and customers, having a strong desire to be a member of the
organization, and exerting extra effort to contribute to the organization’s success.
A fully engaged employee is intellectually and emotionally bound with the organization, gives
100 percent, feels passionately about its goals and is committed to live by its values. This
employee goes beyond the basic job responsibility to delight the customers and drive the
business forward. Moreover, in times of diminishing loyalty, employee engagement is a
powerful retention strategy.
Research shows that engaged employees: perform better, put in extra efforts to help get the job
done, show a strong level of commitment to the organization, and are more motivated and
optimistic about their work goals. Employers with engaged employees tend to experience low
employee turnover and more impressive business outcomes.
Engagement is the energy, passion, or fire in the belly employees have for their employer
Stay : Desire to be a member of the organization
Say : Speak positively about the organisation
Strive : Go beyond what is minimally required
Employee Engagement- Difference
The difference between employee satisfaction, and employee engagement.
Satisfaction and engagement are all inter-related in an upward progression. Each item has
different drivers, but they build on one another to increase performance in the workplace.
Think about it, just because employees are satisfied with their job does not mean they are
effective or engaged. It is possible for an employee to be completely satisfied with his or her
job, and not be fully engaged. To further complicate matters, an employee can be both engaged
and satisfied, yet not be effective. All three components work together to create an environment
where employees are highly motivated and committed to giving their best performance.

WHY IT MATTERS ?
Hewitt Associates Study — improvement in engagement preceded financial performance
Towers Perrin Study — employee engagement posted 3.74% increase in operating profit vs. a
2% decline at the time with poor levels of engagement
DDI Study — engaged employees are less likely to leave, they are more productive, higher
customer satisfaction, higher revenue growth and profitability
Levels of Employee Engagement
There are three levels of Employee Engagement
1. Engaged employees
2. Not engaged employees
3. Actively disengaged employees
Engaged employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company. They
drive innovation and move the organization forward.
Not Engaged employees are essentially “checked out”. They’re sleepwalking through their
workday, putting time – but not energy or passion – into their work.
Actively disengaged employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their
happiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish.
Focus on employee engagement:
Current studies show that organizations are focusing on the meaning of employee engagement
and how to make employees more engaged. Employees feel engaged when they find personal
10
meaning and motivation in their work, receive positive interpersonal support, and operate in an
efficient work environment. What brought engagement to the forefront and why is everyone
interested in it? Most likely, the tight economy has refocused attention on maximizing employee
output and making the most of organizational resources. When organizations focus attention on
their people, they are making an investment in their most important resource. You can cut all the
costs you want, but if you neglect your people, cutting costs won’t make much of a difference.
Engagement is all about getting employees to “give it their all.” Some of the most successful
organizations are known for their unique work environments in which employees are motivated
to do their very best. These great places to work have been recognized in such lists as Fortune’s
100 Best Companies to Work For.
The concept of engagement is a natural evolution of past research on high-involvement,
empowerment, job motivation, organizational commitment, and trust. All of these research
streams focus on the perceptions and attitudes of employees about the work environment. In
some ways, there are variations on the same fundamental issue. What predicts employees “giving
their all?” Obviously, all organizations want their employees to be engaged in their work.
Several standardized tools exist for assessing employee engagement and providing
feedback for making changes. These tools tend to have several common goals and
characteristics:
Create a simple and focused index of workplace engagement- Many organizations are using
very short, simple, and easy to use measures that focus on the fundamentals of a great workplace.
Instead of conducting broad culture/climate surveys with 100 or more questions, organizations
are opting for a focused approach that measures fundamental qualities of the workplace that
likely will be important 10 years from now (e.g., feedback, trust, cooperation).
Allow for benchmarking-Most organizations want to know how they compare to other
organizations. Using a standard measure of engagement allows organizations to see how they
compare to other companies along a simple set of fundamental work qualities.
Direct action - Engagement measures tend to be very actionable. This means that the organization
can alter practices or policies to affect employees’ responses to every item in the measure.
11
Show relationship to company performance - Without a link to company performance or other
critical outcomes, measures of engagement have little value. The whole idea behind engagement
is that it leads to enhanced performance. The link to performance outcomes is a necessary
underlying assumption of all engagement measures.
Engagement Predicts Organizational Success
Many studies have shown that investments in people (i.e., HR-related practices) have a reliable
impact on the performance of organizations. The Bureau of Labour conducted a comprehensive
review of more than 100 studies and found that people practices have significant relationships to
improvements in productivity, satisfaction, and financial performance. Research has shown that
when engagement scores are high, employees are more satisfied, less likely to leave the
organization, and more productive.
Each organization is different and there are many factors that affect bottom-line
outcomes; however, engagement scores can serve as meaningful predictors of long-term success.
Some organizations use engagement scores as lead measures in their HR scorecards. When an
organization can show the relationship between engagement scores and bottom-line outcomes,
everyone pays attention to the engagement index. Establishing this critical link between people
and performance helps HR professionals prove that people-related interventions are a worthwhile
investment.
Elements of Engagement
Some researches conclude that personal impact, focused work, and interpersonal harmony
comprise engagement. Each of these three components has sub-components that further define
the meaning of engagement.
Personal Impact-Employees feel more engaged when they are able to make a unique
contribution, experience empowerment, and have opportunities for personal growth. Past
research (e.g., Conger and Kanugo, 1988; Thomas and Velthouse, 1990) concurs that issues such
as the ability to impact the work environment and making meaningful choices in the workplace
are critical components of employee empowerment. Development Dimensions International’s
(DDI) research on retaining talent (Bernthal and Wellins, 2000) found that the perception of
12
meaningful work is one of the most influential factors determining employees’ willingness to
stay with the organization.
Focused Work-Employees feel more engaged when they have clear direction, performance
accountability, and an efficient work environment. Aside from the personal drive and motivation
to make a contribution, employees need to understand where to focus their efforts. Without a
clear strategy and direction from senior leadership, employees will waste their time on the
activities that do not make a difference for the organization’s success. Additionally, even when
direction is in place, employees must receive feedback to ensure that they are on track and being
held accountable for their progress. In particular, employees need to feel that low performance is
not acceptable and that there are consequences for poor performance. Finally, employees want to
work in an environment that is efficient in terms of its time, resources, and budget. Employees
lose faith in the organization when they see excessive waste. For example, employees become
frustrated when they are asked to operate without the necessary resources or waste time in
unnecessary meetings.
Interpersonal Harmony - Employees feel more engaged when they work in a safe and
cooperative environment. By safety, we mean that employee trust one another and quickly
resolve conflicts when they arise. Employees want to be able to rely on each other and focus
their attention on the tasks that really matter. Conflict wastes time and energy and needs to be
dealt with quickly. Some researches also find that trust and interpersonal harmony is a
fundamental underlying principle in the best organizations. Employees also need to cooperate to
get the job done. Partnerships across departments and within the work group ensure that
employees stay informed and get the support they need to do their jobs.
