Executive Summary
Review any organization that has earned a “best place to work” designation, or one that perennially earns “favorite company” status with a strong base of loyal customers, and you’ll discover a common thread: employees who are highly engaged. The intellectual argument in favor of improving employee engagement is irrefutable. Whatever definition one chooses, having more engaged employees should lead to better performance and a variety of improved business outcomes. Yet in many organizations, employee engagement is not a recognized, serious initiative that is viewed as having a measurable return.
The purpose of this study is to measure employee engagement, understand the impact it is having, and how it is measured and managed so as to derive some best practices to guide all organizations.
This study will reveal what organizations with highly engaged workforces are doing, and the degree of benefit they are getting as a result. This study sought to examine the effects of employee engagement on key performance indicators such as:
- Revenue generation
- Employee retention, productivity, morale and creativity
- Customer loyalty & retention
