Employee engagementFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Employee engagement, also called worker engagement, is abusiness managementconcept. An "engaged
employee" is one who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about theirwork, and thus will act in a way thatfurthers theirorganization's interests. According to Scarlett Surveys, "Employee Engagement is a measurable
degree of an employee's positive or negative emotional attachment to their job, colleagues and organization
that profoundly influences their willingness to learn and perform is at work". Thus engagement is distinctively
different from employee satisfaction, motivation and organisational culture. Employee engagement was
described in the academic literature by Schmidt et al. (1993). A modernised version of job satisfaction, Schmidt
et al.'s influential definition of engagement was "an employee's involvement with, commitment to, and
satisfaction with work. Employee engagement is a part of employee retention." This integrates the classic
constructs of job satisfaction (Smith et al., 1969), and organizational commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1991). Harter
and Schmidt's (2003) most recent meta-analysis can be useful for understanding the impact of engagement.
The opposite of employee engagement is a zombie employee. A zombie employee is a disengaged employee
that will stumble around the office, lower morale and cost the company money.[1].
Linkage research (e.g., Treacy) received significant attention in the business community because of
correlations between employee engagement and desirable business outcomes such as retention of talent,
customer service, individual performance, team performance, business unit productivity, and even enterprise-
level financial performance (e.g., Rucci et al, 1998 using data from Sears). Some of this work has been
published in a diversity context (e.g., McKay, Avery, Morris et al., 2007). Directions of causality were discussed
by Schneider and colleagues in 2003.
Employee engagement is derived from studies of morale or a group's willingness to accomplish organizational
objectives which began in the 1920s. The value of morale to organizations was matured by US Army
researchers during WWII to predict unity of effort and attitudinal battle-readiness before combat. In the postwar
mass production society that required unity of effort in execution, (group) morale scores were used as
predictors of speed, quality and militancy. With the advent of the knowledge worker and emphasis on individual
talent management (stars), a term was needed to describe an individual's emotional attachment to the
organization, fellow associates and the job. Thus the birth of the term "employee engagement" which is an
individual emotional phenomenon whereas morale is a group emotional phenomenon of similar characteristics.
In other words, employee engagement is the raw material of morale composed of 15 intrinsic and extrinsic
attitudinal drivers.(e.g. Scarlett Surveys 2001).
More recently employee engagement has become an area of focus within organizations for the purpose of
retention as a means of avoiding expensive employee replacement costs resulting from staff who voluntarily
quit their jobs.[2]According to SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management) the cost of replacing one $8

existing staff members through strong employee engagement practices.[3]

Research studies [edit]
Engaged employees care about the future of thecompanyand are willing to invest discretionary
effort.[4]Engaged employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organisation that employs them (Robinson),
which results in higher retention levels and productivity levels and lower absenteeism. When reliably measured,
positive employee engagement can be causally related or correlated to specific positive business outcomes by
workgroup and job type. Scarlett Surveys refers to these statistical relationships as engageonomics.
Emotional attachment [edit]
Only 31% of employees are actively engaged in their jobs.[5]These employees work with passion and feel a
profound connection to their company. People that are actively engaged help move the organization forward.
88% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively impact quality of their organization's products,
compared with only 38% of the disengaged.[6]72% of highly engaged employees believe they can positively
affectcustomer service, versus 27% of the disengaged.[citation needed]68% of highly engaged employees believe

they can positively impact costs in their job or unit, compared with just 19% of the disengaged.[4]Engaged
employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organization that employs them.[7]This is associated with people
demonstrating a willingness to recommend the organization to others and commit time and effort to help the
organization succeed.[8]It suggests that people are motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g.personal growth, working
to a common purpose, being part of a larger process) rather than simply focusing on extrinsic factors
(e.g.,pay/reward).[9]
Involvement [edit]
Eileen Appelbaum and her colleagues (2000) studied 15steel mills, 17 apparel manufacturers, and 10
electronic instrument and imaging equipment producers. Their purpose was to compare traditional production
systems with flexible high-performance production systems involving teams, training, and incentive pay
systems. In all three industries, the plants utilizing high-involvement practices showed superior performance. In
addition, workers in the high-involvement plants showed more positive attitudes, includingtrust, organizational
commitment and intrinsic enjoyment of the work.[7]The concept has gained popularity as various studies have
demonstrated links withproductivity. It is often linked to the notion of employee voice andempowerment.[10]
Commitment [edit]
It has been routinely found that employee engagement scores account for as much as half of the variance in
customer satisfaction scores. This translates into millions of dollars for companies if they can improve their
scores. Studies have statistically demonstrated that engaged employees are more productive, more profitable,
more customer-focused, safer, and less likely to leave their employer.
Employees with the highest level ofcommitmentperform 20% better and are 87% less likely to leave theorganization, which indicates that engagement is linked to organizational performance.[11]For example, at the
beverage company ofMolsonCoors, it was found that engaged employees were five times less likely than non-
engaged employees to have a safety incident and seven times less likely to have a lost-time safety incident. In
fact, the average cost of a safety incident for an engaged employee was$63, compared with an average of
$392 for a non-engaged employee. Consequently, through strengthening employee engagement, the company
saved $1,721,760 in safety costs in 2002. In addition, savings were found in sales performance teams through
engagement. In 2005, for example, low-engagement teams were seen falling behind engaged teams, with a
difference in performance-related costs of low- versus high-engagement teams totaling $2,104,823.3
(Lockwood).
Life insurance industry [edit]
Two studies of employees in the life insurance industry examined the impact of employee perceptions that they
had the power to make decisions, sufficient knowledge and information to do the job effectively, and rewards
for high performance. Both studies included large samples of employees (3,570 employees in 49 organizations

and 4,828 employees in 92 organizations). In both studies, high-involvement management practices were
positively associated with employeemorale,employee retention, and firm financial performance.[7]Watson
Wyatt found that high-commitment organizations (one with loyal and dedicated employees) out-performed
those with low commitment by 47% in the 2000 study and by 200% in the 2002 study.[12]
Productivity [edit]
In a study of professional service firms, the Hay Group found that offices with engaged employees were up to
43% more productive.[13]Job satisfaction is also linked to productivity.[14]
The most striking finding[citation needed] is the almost 52% gaps in operating incomes between companies with
highly engaged employees and companies whose employees have low-engagement scores. High-engagement
companies improved 19.2% while low-engagement companies declined 32.7% in operating income during the
study period[citation needed]. For example,New Century Financial Corporation, a U.S. specialty mortgage banking
company, found that account executives in the wholesale division who were actively disengaged produced 28%
less revenue than their colleagues who were engaged. Furthermore, those not engaged generated 23% less
revenue than their engaged counterparts. Engaged employees also outperformed the not engaged and actively
disengaged employees in other divisions.[4]...
Generating engagement [edit]
Commitment theories are rather based on creating conditions, under which the employee will feel compelled to
work for an organization, whereas engagement theories aim to bring about a situation in which the employee
by free choice has an intrinsic desire to work in the best interests of the organization.[15]
Recent research has focused on developing a better understanding of how variables such as quality of work
relationships and values of the organization interact, and their link to important work outcomes.[16]84% of highly
engaged employees believe they can positively impact the quality of their organization's products, compared
with only 31 percent of the disengaged.[4]From the perspective of the employee, "outcomes" range from strong
commitment to the isolation of oneself from the organization.[17]The study done by the Gallup Management
Journal has shown that only 29% of employees are actively engaged in their jobs. Those "engaged" employees
work with passion and feel a strong connection to their company. About of the business units scoring above
the median on employee engagement also scored above the median on performance.[7]Moreover, 54% of
employees are not engaged meaning that they go through each workday putting time but no passion into their
work. Only about of companies below the median on employee engagement scored above the median on
performance.[7]
Access to a reliable model enables organizations to conduct validation studies to establish the relationship of
employee engagement to productivity/performance and other measures linked to effectiveness.[16]

It is an important principle ofindustrial and organizational psychology(i.e. the application of psychological
theories, research methods, and intervention strategies involving workplace issues) that validation studies
should be anchored in reliable scales (i.e. organized and related groups of items) and not simply focus on
individual elements in isolation. To understand how high levels of employee engagement affect organizational
performance/productivity it is important to have ana priorimodel that demonstrates how the scales interact.[18]
There is also overlap between this concept and those relating towell-being at workand thepsychological
contract.[7]Research by Gallup Consulting has shown a strong correlation between the degree of well-being of
an individual and the extent to which they are engaged as an employee - high well-being yields high
engagement. A well and engaged employee is likely to have less sick days, lowering the cost of lost
productivity to their organization, and come to work energized and focused. A well and engaged employee is
efficient and effective and a valuable asset in the workplace.
As employeeproductivityis clearly connected with employee engagement, creating an environment that
encourages employee engagement is considered to be essential in the effective management ofhuman
capital.[17]
Drivers of engagement [edit]
While it is possible to measure engagement itself through employee surveys, this does not assist in identifying
areas for improvement within organisations. There are a range of factors, known as drivers, that are thought to
increase overall engagement. By managing the drivers, an organisation can effectively manage engagement
levels of its employees. Drivers such as communication, performance clarity and feedback, organisational
culture, rewards and recognition, relationships with managers and peers, career development opportunities andknowledge of the organisation's goals and vision are some of the factors that facilitate employee engagement.
Some points from the research are presented below:
* Employee perceptions of job importance - "...an employee's attitude toward the job's importance and the
company had the greatest impact on loyalty andcustomer servicethan all other employee factors combined."[4]
* Employee clarity of job expectations - "If expectations are not clear and basic materials and equipment are
not provided, negative emotions such as boredom or resentment may result, and the employee may then
become focused on surviving more than thinking about how he can help the organization succeed."[8]
* Career advancement/improvement opportunities - "Plant supervisors and managers indicated that many
plant improvements were being made outside the suggestion system, where employees initiated changes in
order to reap the bonuses generated by the subsequent cost savings."[18]
* Regular feedback and dialogue with superiors - "Feedback is the key to giving employees a sense of
where theyre going, but many organizations are remarkably bad at giving it."[8]"'What I really wanted to hear
was 'Thanks. You did a good job.' But all my boss did was hand me a check.'"[13]

* Quality of working relationships with peers, superiors, and subordinates - "...if employees' relationship
with their managers is fractured, then no amount of perks will persuade the employees to perform at top levels.
Employee engagement is a direct reflection of how employees feel about their relationship with the boss."[17]
* Perceptions of the ethos and values of the organization - "'Inspiration and values' is the most important of
the six drivers in our Engaged Performance model. Inspirational leadership is the ultimate perk. In its absence,
[it] is unlikely to engage employees."/>
* Effective Internal Employee Communications - which convey a clear description of "what's going on". "'If
you accept that employees want to be involved in what they are doing then this trend is clear (from small
businesses to large global organisations). The effect of poor internal communications is seen as its most
destructive in global organisations which suffer from employee annexation - where the head office in one
country is buoyant (since they are closest to the action, know what is going on, and are heavily engaged) but its
annexes (who are furthest away from the action and know little about what is happening) are dis-engaged. In
the worst case, employee annexation can be very destructive when the head office attributes the annex's low
engagement to its poor performance when its poor performance is really due to its poor communications.
* Reward to engage - Look at employee benefits and acknowledge the role of incentives. "An incentive to
reward good work is a tried and test way of boosting staff morale and enhancing engagement." There are a
range of tactics you can employ to ensure your incentive scheme hits the mark with your workforce such as:
Setting realistic targets, selecting the right rewards for your incentive programme, communicating the scheme
effectively and frequently, have lots of winners and reward all achievers, encouraging sustained effort, present
awards publicly and evaluate the incentive scheme regularly.[19]It further tends to improve the overall
productivity.
Drivers of disengagement [edit]

The drivers of employee disengagement are not all the same as the drivers of engagement. In a statistical
analysis of employee engagement and disengagement across 150 organizations,[20]CustomInsight found that
the most common drivers of disengagement include:
Problems with direct supervisors (poor employee-manager relationships) account for 49% of disengaged
employees. This finding is specific to disengaged employees. Good employee-manager relationships are
usually a prerequisite for engagement but not something that leads to higher levels of engagement.
Lack of respect for or confidence in senior leadership, lack of organization direction (strategic alignment),
poor performance and quality standards, and related topics account for 33% of disengaged employees.
These areas are drivers of engagement as well - things that drive engagement as well as disengagement.
Basic Needs compensation, workplace conditions, and related topics account for the remaining 18% of
disengaged employees. If basic needs are not being met, employees are disengaged, but once those
needs are met, these things do not drive higher levels of employee engagement.
Primary drivers of employee disenagement - breakdown of causes related to managers
Breakdown - Types of Manager Disengagement
Among the 49% of employees whose disengagement is related to their managers, CustomInsight identified four
distinct clusters i.e. the most common scenarios.,[21]
11% of disengaged employees rated their managers low, but still gave (relatively) high marks to senior
leadership and the organization as a whole. In other words, these employees are specifically disengaged
with their managers, but they distinguish this from how they feel about the organization overall. The
problems employees in this group have with their managers are broad-based, indicating employee-
manager relationships that are generally dysfunctional or toxic.
15% are disengaged with their managers due to poor accountability, communication, direction, and
feedback. These are managers who are not communicating expectations and direction, helping employees
set goals, or holding people accountable.

12% are disengaged with their managers due to a lack of recognition, teamwork, and personal expression.
These are managers who are not building relationships and supporting the emotional or interpersonal
needs of their employees.
11% are disengaged with their managers due to a lack of autonomy, fairness, and personal expression.
These employees gave their managers (relatively) high marks for accountability, meaning these managers
are doing a good job of driving and enforcing, but they are failing to give their employees enough respect
and freedom.
Potential red flags [edit]
Inappropriate use of Benchmark Data - some of the more well established Employee Engagement survey
companies will state that the most important part of post survey follow up is related to comparison of
internal survey data to numerous external benchmarks. This seems to have rubbed off onto internal
sponsors who demand very specific benchmarks. Whilst some research analysts claim that the standard
comparisons by industry sector are flawed others disagree. Is it right to compare a Bentley employee to
one from Vauxhall (GM) because they are in the same automotive sector? The alternative argument is that
both organisations would likely draw from similar worker pools and would as such wish to better
understand expectations of workers in that industry and how they compare to competing employers.
A focus on data gathering rather than taking action may also damage engagement efforts. Organizations
that survey their workforce without acting on the feedback appear to negatively impact engagement
scores.[5]
According to the Conference Board and other recent studies, employee engagement has deteriorated
significantly in the US and the UK over the last five years. Measuring and managing the wrong or
incomplete set of engagement drivers is partly if not mostly to blame. Rigorous engagement measurement
encompasses 15 attitudinal drivers formed by employee experiences.
Initiatives [edit]
Some of the initiatives commonly undertaken by HR departments towards employee engagement are:[22]
On-boarding: When an employee joins the organisation s/he needs to be exposed to the organisations
policies and culture. There may be some fresh out of campuses that need to know the basics of
communication skills and job related skills. During the induction programme itself, they can be given an
exposure about these aspects, skills sets and the expectations. The on-boarding event experience itself
leaves a mark on the minds of the new recruits about the companys desire to enhance their skills.

Learning and development events: When business practices and processes are changing. In this
environment, there is an acute necessity for enhancing the skill levels of employees already discharging
various functions.
Engagement levels [edit]
Organisations that believe in increasing employee engagement levels concentrate on the following levels:[23]
Culture: It consists of a foundation of leadership, vision, values, effective communication, a strategic plan
and HR policies that are focussed on the employee. Commitment - It is the foundation of engagement.
Employees with high level of organisational commitment are willing to exert considerable effort for the
organisation and make discretionary contributions.
Cooperation: It encompasses positive relationship among employees within a group. It is the inherent
willingness of individuals working in a team to pull in the same direction and achieve organisational goals.
Taking responsibility: Taking initiative and responsibility to become a part of the solutions is an important
ingredient of engagement. For an employee to display loyalty towards his organisation, the first thing he
needs to do is to take responsibility. Taking responsibility refer to feeling empowered. Employees who
feel empowered have a sense of belonging and excitement about their jobs, they feel engaged at an
emotional level and are willing to give their best all the time.
