Employee Engagement Surveys

Gaining Insight Into Your Most Valuable Assets

What is an Employee Engagement Survey?

An Employee Engagement Survey measures the extent to which employees feel connected and committed to their organization.

Why are Employee Engagement Surveys Valuable?

Understanding your employees helps you retain top performers, reduce distractions that have a negative impact on productivity, enhance employee loyalty, and build employee morale. We help you identify the specific drivers of engagement that are most important for your organization.

Major studies conducted in the last few years clearly show that high levels of employee engagement directly correlate to individual, group, and corporate performance in areas such as retention, turnover, productivity, customer service, and loyalty. While differences varied from study to study, highly engaged employees outperform their disengaged counterparts by a staggering 20 – 28 percentage points!

We know that a highly skilled, focused, and committed workforce is one of the most significant sources of competitive advantage. Nonetheless, organizations often fall short when it comes to aligning employee behaviors and motivations with the organization’s vision, securing employees’ commitment, and inspiring them to achieve and exceed organizational objectives.

Design & Administrative Issues

Leadership Associates works closely with our clients to determine the structure of the engagement survey process as well as in customizing the survey instrument to the specific goals and objectives of the organization. We develop employee engagement surveys by taking a strategic approach to identifying and assessing the behaviors that support a high-performance organization. This approach is based on understanding our clients’ business strategy and then defining the behaviors and attitudes that are most critical to achieving the business strategy.

We tailor our survey approach to your business and human resources strategy, as well as your unique employee population. Our goal is to uncover data-driven, action-oriented recommendations for increasing the engagement of your workforce in a way that improves your bottom line and customer satisfaction. We focus on identifying the specific drivers of engagement that are most important for you — those high-leverage factors that can drive higher and higher levels of employee engagement, and helping you set priorities for actions that will have the greatest impact on your organizational success.

The insights gained from the survey provide the foundation for developing a wide range of possible leadership actions and approaches including: performance management, leadership and employee development, organization development, compensation practices, rewards, communication, management practices, career development, recruitment, and retention strategies.

Surveys are typically administered via the internet. Results are compiled and reports are generated. The feedback report contains detailed item-by-item data as well as summaries for each major engagement driver, broken out by organizational unit, division, location, as well as for the organization as a whole.
