Work Engagement Survey™

Reducing Turnover and Increasing Productivity

Have you ever wondered what makes a good company great? It’s the people. Committed, productive employees are key to organizational success and a healthy bottom line. The challenge, then, is retaining and developing satisfied, committed employees. The solution is Work Engagement Survey™. Why? Research has shown that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations have better attitudes and enjoy greater job satisfaction than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. And companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover (see our page on employee engagement).

Explore 10 Key Expectations

In a typical employment situation, certain expectations, such as salary, hours, and job duties, are clearly understood by both employer and employee. Other expectations, however, are so intimately linked to an individual’s concept of work that they often go unspoken or unacknowledged.  The Work Engagement Survey™ helps the organization explore 10 work expectations that impact today’s employment relationships: Structure, Diversity, Recognition, Autonomy, Environment, Expression, Teamwork, Stability, Balance, and Career Growth.

Our Work Engagement Survey™ allows organizations to not only better understand what areas their employees find as being important, but also provides learning on how well the organization is meeting those expectations.  A special gap analysis allows the organization to see which of the 10 areas it needs to work on to help it increase employee engagement.

View a sample of the Work Expectations Group Report.  The Work Engagement Survey™ will contain a minimum of three group reports: Organization-Wide; Supervisors/Managers only; and Employees only.  In addition to the overall reports for the entire organization, each department and/or team can also receive a report that includes only their members.

Open the Door to Creating Employee Engagement

We have carefully researched other measures of employee engagement and have created a crosswalk between them and the Work Engagement Survey™.  This means that the Work Engagement Survey™ can give you some high level information about just how well your organization is doing on creating engagement.  We condense this information down to the 10 Expectations categories, allowing you to see which Expectation categories need immediate attention and addressing those needs right away.  At the sam e time, you can then easily create a long-term strategy for increasing the measures across all Expectations categories.

Creating Engagement One Employee at a Time!

But what really sets our Work Engagement Survey™ apart from all other measures of employee engagement is that we provide each employee with a Work Expectations Profile® Individual Report .  This Individual Report helps the employee to clarify exactly which Expectations categories are most important to them.  It also allows them to determine if that Expectation has been Met or is it Unmet, and if it is Spoken about, or is it an Unspoken Expectation.  After the employee has had an opportunity to review their Individual Report, they are then encouraged to meet with their supervisor to discuss their expectations.  It is this discussion that begins to create the foundation for a relationship between the employee and the supervisor that can lead to greater employee engagement.

Remember, while employee engagement is measured at the organizational, divisional, departmental, and team levels, you don't create engagement with these units.  Employee engagement is created with the individual, one employee at a time.  The Work Expectations Profile® Individual Report allows your supervisors and managers to build the relationships and trust that creates this engagement.

Employee Engagement: Doing it verses Measuring it!

Our Work Engagement Survey™ is the difference between just measuring Employee Engagement and actually creating it!

Our Work Engagement Survey, while highly researched and validated, is considerably less expensive to administer than that of other major Employee Engagement measurement organizations, such as Gallup and the Conference Board.  In many cases, we are as little as one-third the cost of our major competitors.  Please give us a call to learn just how inexpensive it is to measure Employee Engagement in your organization, and how our process can actually increase engagement, performance, and your bottom line.
