    Employee Engagement

    Employee engagement is nothing but extracting the gem part in an employee.

    We have seen it many a time that an organization provides top wages and

    benefits, yet loses a talented employee to competitor for apparent reasons. Of

    course, some employee turnover is unavoidable, but if a company is truly

    engaging its employees, there is no good reason for the unexpected loss of

    quality staffer. Most organizations today have realized that a satisfied

    employee is not necessarily the best employee in terms of loyalty and

    productivity. It is only an engaged employee who is intellectually and

    emotionally bound with the organization, feels passionately about its goals and

    is committed towards its values. He goes the extra mile and associates himself

    with the actions that drive the business. Engaged employee are more likely to

    stay, and be the advocates of the company, its products or services. An engaged

    employee is a person who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about, his or her

    work. Employee Engagement is now measured by items which have been linked

    to key business outcomes.

    A greater number of loyal employees ensure low recruitment and training costs,

    in effect enhancing the productivity of the organization. In short, employee

    engagement is a positive attitude held by employee towards the

    organization and its values. It is rightly said that the only sustainable

    competitive advantage for the company is human resources.

    An organizations capacity to manage employee engagement is closely related

    to its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results.

    Employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks not only to

    retain valued employees, but also increase its level of performance.

    Engagement is the energy, passion, or fire in the belly employees have for

    their employer. Employee engagement is the extent to which employees feel a

    sense of commitment to their organization, to its values, goals and objectives

    and consciously and conscientiously work towards achieving those goals and

    objectives. Employee engagement is the extent to which employees choose to

    invest their physical, mental and emotional energy in their work and their

    organization. In simple terms employee engagement is making employees to

    work with not only with their minds and bodies but also with hearts. When

    somebody puts heart and soul into work, he creates a congenial atmosphere

    where organizational and individual goals can be achieved more effectively.

    All the employees should put their heart and soul to work for the company. This

    can be possible through employee engagement. Committed employees who are

    self-motivated will work for the organization with joy. A fully engaged

    employee are intellectually and emotionally bound with the organization, gives

    their 100 percent, feels passionately about their goals and are committed to live

    by its values. These employees go 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.

    An empowered organization is one in which individuals have the

    knowledge, skill, desire, and opportunity to personally succeed in a way to

    collective organizational success.

    9/92

    Why the organizations are spending huge amount on the employee

    Engagement activities? What do they receive in return for it? The answer

    of all these can be given by taking following benefits of the program into

    consideration:

    Helps the company to be profitable and have year-on-year increases in

    profit share.

    Helps the organization to gain a great reputation for customer service.

    Helps the organization to deliver all the latest innovations.

    Increase productivity and morale.

    Creates a feeling of loyalty among the employees.

    Increases employee retention Reduces absenteeism.

    Reduces the waste-age of cost and time on recruitment and training.

    Provides friendly working environment.

    Promote team building spirit among the employees.

    Builds passion and commitment and further boost engagement in

    employees.

    THE THREE LEVELS OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

    Engaged Employees

    Engaged employees work more passionately and have a strong connection with

    their company. They are more innovative and help organization in moving

    towards success. These employees work with passion and feel a profound

    9

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    10/92

    connection to their company. People that are actively engaged help move the

    organization forward.

    Not Engaged Employees

    These employees have essentially checked out, sleepwalking through their

    workday and putting time but not passion into their work. They are not

    active in their work. They do their work just for the sake of doing it.

    Actively Dis-engaged Employees

    Actively disengaged employees are those who are not just unhappy with their

    work, they also keep acting out their unhappiness. They keep spreading the

    negative vibes in the organization and undermine those who are willing to do

    their job or who are engaged. These employees are busy acting out their

    unhappiness, undermining what their engaged co-workers are trying to

    accomplish.

    INTER PRETATIVE MODELS OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

    The approach to employee engagement, discussed by Robinson et al (2004),

    stresses the importance of 'feeling valued and involved' as a key driver of

    engagement. Within this umbrella of feeling valued and involved there are a

    number of elements that have a varying influence on the extent to which the

    employee will feel valued and involved and hence engaged. Figure 4.1, which is

    based on a diagnostic model in Robinson et al (2004), illustrates the driver

    10

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    11/92

    of engagement suggested through a survey of over 10,000 NHS employees.

    Robinson et al (2004) state that this can be a useful pointer to organisations

    towards those aspects of working life that require serious attention if

    engagement levels are to be maintained or improved.

    Figure 4.1 Robinson et al (2004) model of the drivers of employee

    engagement

    Source: Robinson Et A l (2004)

    Penna (2007) presents a hierarchical model of engagement factors (see figure

    4.2), which illustrates the impact each level will have on the attraction,

    engagement and retention of talent. They propose a model with "meaning at

    work" at the apex.

    Figure 4.2 Penna (2007) model of hierarchy of engagement, Source: Penna

    (2007)

    Interestingly in this model the 'hygiene' factors appear at the foundation of the

    model, indicating the nature of these factors as a necessary, but not sufficient,

    building block upon which the organisation must further develop in order to

    engage staff.

    The ten Cs of employee engagement

    How can leaders engage employees heads, hearts, and hands? Here are the

    literature offers several avenues for action; we summarize these as the Ten Cs

    of employee engagement :

    1.Connect:

    Leaders must show that they value employees. In First, Break All the Rules,

    Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman argue that managers trump companies.

    Employee-focused initiatives such as profit sharing and implementing worklife

    balance initiatives are important. However, if employees relationship with their

    12

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    13/92

    managers is fractured, then no amount of perks will persuade employees to

    perform at top levels. Employee engagement is a direct reflection of how

    employees feel about their relationship with the boss. Employees look at

    whether organizations and their leader walk the talk when they proclaim that,

    Our employees are our most valuable asset.

    2. Career:

    Leaders should provide challenging and meaningful work with opportunities for

    career advancement. Most people want to do new things in their job. Forexample, do organizations provide job rotation for their top talent? Are people

    assigned stretch goals? Do leaders hold people accountable for progress? Are

    jobs enriched in duties and responsibilities? Good leaders challenge employees;

    but at the same time, they must instil the confidence that the challenges can be

    met.

    3. Clarity:

    Leaders must communicate a clear vision. People want to understand the vision

    that senior leadership has for the organization, and the goals that leaders or

    departmental heads have for the division, unit, or team. Success in life and

    organizations is, to a great extent, determined by how clear individuals are

    about their goals and what they really want to achieve. In sum, employees need

    to understand what the organizations goals are, why they are important, and

    how the goals can best be attained.

    4. Convey:

    Leaders clarify their expectations about employees and provide feedback on

    their functioning in the organization. Good leaders establish processes and

    procedures that help people master important tasks and facilitate goal

    achievement.

    13

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    14/92

    5. Congratulate:

    Business leaders can learn a great deal from Woodens approach.

    Surveys show that, over and over, employees feel that they receive immediate

    feedback when their performance is poor, or below expectations. These same

    employees also report that praise and recognition for strong performance is

    much less common. Exceptional leaders give recognition, and they do so a

    lot; they coach and convey.

    6. Contribute:

    People want to know that their input matters and that they are contributing to

    the organizations success in a meaningful way.

    7. Control:

    Employees value control over the flow and pace of their jobs and leaders can

    create opportunities for employees to exercise this control. Are leaders flexible

    and attuned to the needs of the employees as well as the organization? Do

    leaders involve employees in decision-making, particularly when employees

    will be directly affected by the decision? Do employees have a say in setting

    goals or milestones that are deemed important? Are employees able to voice

    their ideas, and does leadership show that contributions are valued?

    8. Collaborate:

    Studies show that, when employees work in teams and have the trust and

    cooperation of their team members, they outperform individuals and teams

    which lack good relationships. Great leaders are team builders; they create an

    environment that fosters trust and collaboration.

    9. Credibility:

    Leaders should strive to maintain a companys reputation and demonstrate high

    ethical standards.

    14

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    15/92

    People want to be proud of their jobs, their performance, and their organization.

    10. Confidence:

    Good leaders help create confidence in a company by being exemplars of high

    ethical and performance standards.

    LITERATURE REVIEW

    'Employee engagement' is a relatively new term in HR literature and started tocome to prominence from 2000 onwards. Melcrum Publishing (2005) found that

    from a global survey of over 1,000 communication and HR practitioners 74%

    began to formally focus on the issue between 2000 and 2004.

    The evolution of employee engagement summarised that

    It builds upon and goes further than 'commitment' and 'motivation' in the

    management literature (Woodruffe, 2006 as cited in CIPD, 2006a)

    A desk review undertaken by Rafferty et al (2005) indicates that it

    originated from consultancies and survey houses rather than academia

    The level of interest it has generated indicates that it is more than a passing

    management fad and a considerable amount of research and analysis has

    been conducted in the last 10 years or so building up our understanding of

    the term.

    The commitment literature, discussed the various kinds of commitment and the

    impacts of a committed workforce, lays the foundation for understanding of

    engagement and the evolution of the concept. As is discussed later, commitment

    and engagement are not considered to be one and the same. Whilst commitment

    is an important element of engagement, engagement is considered to be more

    than just employee commitment

    It appears that engagement, although sharing strong characteristics with each

    other but the concept is more than commitment and/or OCB on their own.

    Rafferty et al (2005) draw the distinction on the basis that engagement is a two-

    way mutual process between the employee and the organisation. Sharpley

    (2006) (as cited in Harrad 2006) also points out that it is important to

    distinguish between motivation and engagement, as it is possible to be

    motivated in one's job without necessarily feeling an attachment to the

    18

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    19/92

    organisation. In Sharpley's (2006) (as cited in Harrad 2006) definition of

    engagement there must be a mutual feeling of support between the employee

    and the organisation.

    Definitions of employee engagement

    The CIPD (2007a) defines employee engagement as a combination of

    commitment to the organisation and its values plus a willingness to help out

    colleagues. According to this view, engagement is about more than job

    satisfaction and is a more complex concept than motivation. Similarly, Schmidt

    (2004) defines engagement as bringing satisfaction and commitment together.

    Whilst satisfaction addresses more of an emotional or attitudinal element,

    commitment brings in the motivational and physical elements. Schmidt (2004)

    contends that while satisfaction and commitment are the two key elements of

    engagement, neither on their own is enough to guarantee engagement.

    Ellisand Sorenson (2007) defines an engaged employee as one who 1) knows

    what to do at workand 2) wants to do the work. It is their strong view that

    engagement should always be defined and assessed within the context of

    productivity, and that the two elements of engagement noted above are

    necessary for driving productivity.

    Right Management (2006) defines true engagement as every person in the

    organisation understanding and being committed to the success of the business

    strategy, and that this goes beyond more than just simple job satisfaction and

    incorporates aspects of commitment, pride and advocacy about the

    organisation's products and brand. Whilst the onus is on the organisation to

    manage communication effectively to involve employees and align them with

    19

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    20/92

    the organisation, this clearly requires input and feedback from employees as

    well to make the process work

    Meere (2005) describes three levels of engagement :

    1. Engaged - employees who work with passion and feel a profound

    connection to their organisation. They drive innovation and move the

    organisation forward;

    2. Not engaged - employees who attend and participate at work but are

    timeserving and put no passion or energy into their work; and

    3. Dis-engaged - employees who are unhappy at work and who act out

    their unhappiness at work. According to Meere (2005), these employees

    undermine the work of their engaged colleagues on a daily basis.

    The CIPD Annual Survey report (2006c) defines engagement in terms ofthree dimensions of employee engagement :

    1. Emotional engagement - being very involved emotionally in one's work;

    2. Cognitive engagement - focusing very hard whilst at work; and

    3. Physical engagement - being willing to 'go the extra mile' for your

    employer.

    "The report describes a group of

    people who receive a clear vision, are

    "Fundamentally, good internal

    communications should be about

    (2005) based on a global survey of over 1,000 multinationals concluded that

    from an organisation's point of view it is the senior executives that 'set the tone'

    of engagement in an organisation, whatever the size. There are a number of

    actions and strategies that senior management can make use of to inspire

    engagement among employees and motivate them to go the extra mile. The six

    top drivers of engagement from the senior management perspective were found

    to be:

    Communicating a clear vision of the future

    Building trust in the organisation

    Involving employees in decision making that will affect them

    Demonstrating commitment to the organisation's values

    Being seen to respond to feedback

    Demonstrating genuine commitment to employee's well being

    Schmidt (2004) bases the model on a variety of studies and writings,

    implicit in which is the notion that it is WWB(Workplace wellbeing) that

    drives engagement. CIPD(2010a) concurs with this view of the importance

    of well being, stating that engagement is 'wholly consistent' with an

    emphasis on employee well-being.

    The final variable impacting on employee engagement relates to employees

    themselves. A number of studies have produced quantitative research findings

    25

    26/92

    that demonstrate the impact that biographical and job characteristics can have

    on employee engagement

    CIPD's (2006c) three types of engagement - cognitive, emotional and

    physical.

    The CIPD Annual Survey report (2006c) defines engagement in terms of three

    dimensions of employee engagement:

    Emotional engagement - being very involved emotionally in one's work;

    Cognitive engagement - focusing very hard whilst at work; and

    Physical engagement - being willing to 'go the extra mile' for your

    employer.

    Key Findings in the literature

    The key findings, as noted in the literature, are:

    Employee engagement matters as it impacts on companies' bottom lines,both through HR related impacts (such as recruitment and retention) and

    through wider impacts on productivity, profit and achieving the aims

    and objectives of the organisation;

    A range of themes emerge as factors that influence employee

    engagement. These include factors that have a direct influence on

    employees working conditions (such as the number of hours worked and

    the work life balance) and also wider influences linked to the

    organisation (such as the importance and value of what the organisation

    does). A common theme emerging from all studies is the importance of

    leadership and two-way communication, and the need for management

    to drive forward employee engagement;

    In terms of impact, studies tend to emphasise the positive impact of

    employee engagement but few quantify this impact reliably. Where an

    attempt at quantification is made, the magnitude of the positive impact

    tends to be very significant ( e.g. 20% increases in productivity);

    It is clear that 'employee engagement' has moved beyond HR discussion

    papers and concepts into the mainstream strategic and operational

    management. It is not a fad - it is reality for many organisations thatview it as having benefits and are using it as a tool to further the

    organisation's objectives. The next challenge is to quantify robustly the

    cost-effectiveness of organisational commitment to employee

    engagement. In this area the literature has less to say and the jury is still

    out; and

    There is general agreement that staff surveys can be designed to

    effectively measure employee engagement and there are a number of

    good practice examples which can be drawn on to design such surveys.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    RESEARCH DESIGN

    The nature of research design is Descriptive. During the study, both Primary

    and secondary data has been used.

    PRIMARY DATA

    Questionnaire and personal interview is used as a tool to collect primary

    data.

    SECONDARY DATA

    SAMPLE SIZE

    The sample size of 25 employees from each of the four departments of

    Infogain, that is Human Resource Dept, Finance Dept, Admin Dept, and

    Marketing Dept, have been taken. Therefore a total of 100 employees were

    surveyed as a part of the study.

    32

    33/92

    Why Employee engagement survey in the organization?

    For effective running of the organization, assessment of the engagement

    level of the employees and initiating timely corrections is required.

    Corporate Plan also emphasizes the conduct of engagement Study at

    regular intervals to motivate employees.

    Assess the strategic advances made in the area of human resource

    development.

    Dimensions of employee engagement survey :

    Accountability

    Opportunity

    Rewards and recognition

    Cooperation

    Development

    Employee involvement

    Organizational pride

    Commitment

    Teamwork

    Fair appraisal

    Loyalty and commitment

    Initiative

    33

    34/92

    Feedback

    Work life balance

    1) Accountability

    Accountability is a very important factor in employee

    engagement. By accountability we mean accepting the responsibility in

    whatever task he/she do. He must have the knowledge of what expectations

    does the organizations have out of him/her. Therefore if the person is not even

    aware that what is expected from him then we can say that the person is actuallydetached from the organization.

    2) Opportunity

    This parameter finds that is the company providing appropriate

    opportunity for the employees to do the task in which they are interested and are

    good at or just imposing the responsibilities without bothering about the fact

    that whether the employee is interested or not. This factor plays a important rolein deciding that whether employee is engaged in the company or not. It is so

    because if the employee feels that he/she is not getting appropriate chance to

    participate in the activity which is of interest to him then he will remain

    detached from the work of the organization.

    3) Rewards and recognition

    Why should I put an extra effort into this

    job? or whats in it for me? that is a question every person consciously

    or unconsciously asks, before engaging in any form of behavior. Obviously

    then, it applies to all employees in an organization. Before they do anything,

    they look for a payoff or reward. Therefore every employee will indulge or get

    engaged with the activity when he will get something in return in form of

    34

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    35/92

    reward or recognition. Even a simple pat on a back or appreciation helps a lot

    in engaging an employee in the organization.

    4) Cooperation

    A cooperative and friendly environment helps a lot in high

    engagement level of an employee. It is so because if superiors or colleagues in

    the company are not supportive or cooperative in nature then every day or the

    other conflicts will arise which will then lead to disengagement of an

    employee.

    5) Development

    In todays competitive world we can see that now people

    prefer to work in those companies which offer good career path and

    developmental opportunities. Therefore if an employee doesnt feel that they are

    getting any opportunity to grow then they remain disengaged with the

    organization while on the other hand the developmental activities attract theemployee and encourage them to get engaged with the organization.

    6) Employee involvement

    Employee involvement is one of the tool to increase

    the engagement level of employees. It is through this tool that employee gets a

    feel in themselves that they are the part of the organization. When employees

    get a chance to put forth their suggestion then they feel proud and love to work

    for the organization.

    7) Organization pride

    If an employee feels himself proud to be associated

    with his organization then this shows that engagement level of that person is

    high. Where as if an employee do not feel proud and feels shy to discuss about

    35

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    36/92

    the organization with his friends then this clearly indicates that the person is not

    engaged or disengaged with the organization.

    8) Commitment

    Commitment is an important element of engagement.

    Employees with the highest level of commitment perform 20% better and are

    80% less likely to leave the organization. An employee who is committed

    towards his work will be able to produce quality goods and thus he will be

    reffered to as actively engaged employee of the organization.

    9) Teamwork

    We know that in order to work efficiently and achieve the

    objectives we are required to work in teams. Therefore in order to keep the

    employees engaged it is necessary that people of the organization must be

    helpful by nature. Atmosphere of trust and love for each other must exist.

    Various studies have shown that in such an environment employees perform the

    best and the individual becomes actively engaged in their work.

    10) Fair appraisal

    Performance appraisal is a method which enables review

    and evaluation of appraisees performance based on quality, quantity, cost and

    time. The objective of the performance appraisal is to assess the employees

    performance in terms of target achieved and to give the feedback on the

    performance to employee. Performance appraisal is a very crucial and criticalprocess of any organization, as this acts as a motivational tool for those who

    give outstanding results and also for the employees who do not work up to the

    mark as it identifies the weak areas and develops them so that they can also

    bring good results in future. It is very important that whenever appraisal takes

    place it must be fair and should not be based on favoritism. If appraisal is done

    36

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commitmenthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commitment
  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    37/92

    fairly then it boosts the morale of the employees and motivate them to do better

    which further helps in active engagement of an employee.

    11) Pay and benefits

    Monetary benefit is the most important factor which

    attracts and retains large number of employees. attrition and retention survey

    show that one of the top reasons for talent attrition to be external inequity of

    compensation. Therefore salary and other monetary benefits are very important

    motivating factors. This is the factor which encourages an employee to put in

    his extra effort in the work of the organization. It has been generally seen that

    employees who are not satisfied with their pay package they think that why

    should they do extra when they are not getting anything in return. Therefore, in

    order to check the engagement level it is necessary to see their satisfaction level

    with the pay package and benefits provided to them.

    12) Fair treatment

    It is very important that in order to bring make the

    employee attached with the organization, the superiors must make such a

    climate in an organization that they dont feel that they are treated unfairly or

    equal opportunities is not given to him. There must not be any feeling of bias

    because if such fosters then an employee will not be able to concentrate in his

    work and will remain emotionally detached with the organization.

    13) CommunicationCommunication is the process through which we exchange

    our thoughts, ideas and information. Information within the organization flows

    through formal and informal communication channels. Formal channels of

    communication generally follow an organizations hierarchy of command.

    Information about policies and procedures originates with executives and flows

    down through managers to supervisors and finally to lower level employees. In

    37

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    38/92

    order to encourage the employee to do the task for the organization it is very

    crucial that all the information must be provided to him in a timely manner. An

    employee must have the knowledge and intimation about the activities going on

    in an organization so that he can very well remain prepared for the same and

    contribute his best to the organization.

    14) Loyalty

    How loyal and committed an employee towards his organization

    is decides that whether an employee is engaged with the company or not. For

    example if an employee says that he is willing to continue with the organization

    for long term period then this shows that employee is happy to be part of the

    company and wishes to continue with it. It shows the engagement level of the

    employee.

    15) Initiative

    If an employee himself takes initiative and volunteer to do things

    then this shows that he is engaged in an organization. Whereas on the other

    hand if employee resist doing work then it shows that he is not engaged with the

    organization.

    16) Feedback

    Providing fair feedback to the employee helps to increase

    motivation and encourages an employee to do better. Thus fair feedback helps

    in increasing the engagement level of an employee.

    17) Work life balance

    Work-life balance is about people having measure of

    control over when, where and how they work. It is achieved when an

    individuals right to a fulfilled life inside and outside paid work is accepted

    and respected as the norm, to the mutual benefit of the individual, business

    38

  • 8/2/2019 Moni's Summer Training Report

    39/92

    and society. In other words, when an employee is able to maintain a perfect

    balance between his organizational work and personal life then he works with

    more enthusiasm and dedication. It is very important to take care of employees

    because if they are not comfortable with their personal life then it will have

    direct influence on the job performance.
