Engaged employees are more than just satisfied employees — engaged employees are motivated to work hard and get things thoroughly right, regardless of the difficulties. They are the key to your company beating competitive threats, and delivering on important business outcomes like customer satisfaction, innovation, efficiency, and sustained profitability.
Our engagement surveys measure those facets of organizational climate that are most closely linked to employee engagement. The surveys will show you the engagement levels of various demographic groups in your organization, and identify the specific climate measures in your company that are most highly correlated with your employee engagement and other measured outcomes.
Through this insight gathered from the survey data, we can guide you in prioritizing action items for boosting engagement levels, retaining employees that make a difference, and ultimately, enhancing your organizational effectiveness.
One of the most comprehensive studies of the link between employee motivation and company performance has been conducted over the last seven years by Dr. Palmer Morrel-Samuels, the co-author of our engagement survey instrument. (Employee motivation is closely linked to Surveys@Work’s definition of employee engagement).
Dr. Morrel-Samuels’ study, released by the the Workplace Research Foundation in cooperation with the University of Michigan, is titled: “The National Benchmark Study: Employee Motivation Affects Subsequent Stock Price.”
This National Benchmark Study examined survey data from 3,490 employees at 841 corporations in the US that were listed in the Wall Street Journal 1000. The study has shown a strong linkage between employee motivation and the financial performance of their employers.
The study and its findings were featured in the August 2009 edition of Forbes.
