Workforce Engagement Survey
Most of us are aware that in the near future we will have to deal with work place shortages, mostly, due to the mass exodus of the baby boomers from the workforce. The real challenge is to keep these vital employees around long enough to prevent the “brain drain” from all those year of talent and knowledge, and to keep them as mentors and coaches to help narrow the knowledge gap. One of the tools to do that is a workforce engagement study or survey.
A Workplace Engagement Survey™ (WES) measures the degree to which your employees connect with their work and feel committed to the organization and its goals. This gives you and your management teams a detailed view of what influences engagement across all of your workforce segments and how your employees compare statistically to the overall working population.
In addition, the WES measures “satisfaction with employer” and “satisfaction with manager” across your entire organization and gives recommendations for your organization to improve.
Why survey your employees?
Employee surveys are becoming a popular management tool. They not only help management investigate whether employees align with corporate values, but they identify problem areas and elicit information to increase engagement. Employees who are highly engaged:
Excited and enthusiastic •
More focused on their work than “watching the clock” •
Give high levels of discretionary effort •
Emotionally involved with the company •
Mentally involved with company •
Not easily distracted •
Stay focused •
Highly productive •
Did You Know?
Disengaged employees are 53% less productive than • their engaged counterparts.
Disengaged employees are 24% more likely to remain • at their current employer
How does the Workplace Engagement Survey work?
Our clients deliver the WES to their people over the Internet—an HR administrator simply forwards a link to the manager and his or her employees. The assessment does not need to be monitored, so the candidate can take it from any computer with Internet access. All responses are completely anonymous. Information is aggregated in a centralized database and reports can be accessed by authorized people.
