"ntroduction o$ the topic
2mployee engagement has become important in conceptuali3ing and measuring the impact of
human capital in organi3ations and in the integration of many different aspects of )R 4
employee satisfaction1 commitment1 motivation1 involvement and the psychological contract1 as
well as features such as job design and total rewards. t provides a way of recogni3ing the
influence of emotions alongside rationality in working life. t also chimes well with a growing
recognition of the linkage between people and performance and the need to understand and to
manage talent 4 a recognition that has been forced upon organi3ations by continuing change in
the business and organi3ational landscape and which is backed up by increasing research
evidence. t seems that employee engagement makes a difference at the individual1 team and
organi3ational levels.
2ngagement is all about getting employees to “give it their all.5 ,ome of the most successful
organi3ations are actually known for their uni$ue work environments in which employees are
motivated to do their very best. These great workplaces have been recogni3ed in lists such as
Fortune’s “677 &est 8ompanies to 9ork :or.5
)R practitioners believe that the engagement challenge has a lot to do with how employee feels
about the work experience and how he or she is treated in the organi3ation. t has a lot to do with
emotions which are fundamentally related to drive bottom line success in a company. There will
always be people who never give their best efforts no matter how hard )R and line managers try
to engage them. “&ut for the most part employees want to commit to companies because doing
so satisfies a powerful and a basic need in connect with and contribute to something significant5.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
“2mployee 2ngagement5 is not exactly a recent phenomenon. Researched from 6;<7s1 a
succession of management and behavioral thinkers has delved deep into this subject and has
added significant insight in this area.2mployee 2ngagement is variously known as 2mployee ownership1 2mployee %otivation1
2mployee nvolvement1 8ommitment1 =oyalty1 etc.
2ngaged employees are not just committed. They are not just passionate or proud. They have a
line/of/sight on their own future and on the organi3ation>s mission and goals. They are
“enthused5 and “in gear5 using their talents and discretionary effort to make a difference in their
employer>s $uest for sustainable business success.

ENGAGE. EMPLOYEES D
?2ngaged? employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations for their role so
they can meet and exceed them. They@re naturally curious about their company and their place in
it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use their talents and strengths at work
every day. They work with passion and they drive innovation and move their organi3ation
forward. These employees are loyal and psychologically committed to the organi3ation. They
are more productive1 more likely to stay with their company for at least a year1 less likely to have
accidents on the job. These employees have most of their performance/related workplace needs
met.
NOT ENGAGE. EMPLOYEES444
ot/engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals and outcomes they are
expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so they can do it and say they have
finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs. achieving an outcome. 2mployees who are not/
engaged tend to feel their contributions are being overlooked1 and their potential is not being
tapped. They often feel this way because they don@t have productive relationships with their
managers or with their co/workers. These employees may be productive but they are not
psychologically connected to their company. They are more likely to miss workdays and more
likely to leave. These employees have some of their performance/related workplace needs met
but have many needs unmet.
A=T":ELY ."SENGAGE. EMPLOYEESD
The ?actively disengaged? employees are the ?cave dwellers.?They@re ?8onsistently against
Airtually 2verything.? They@re not just unhappy at work# they@re busy acting out their
unhappiness .They sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity. 2very day1 actively disengaged
workers undermine what their engaged co/workers accomplish. 's workers increasingly rely on
each other to generate products and services1 the problems and tensions that are fostered by
actively disengaged workers can cause great damage to an organi3ation@s functioning. These
employees are physically present but psychologically absent. They are unhappy with their work

situation and insist on sharing that unhappiness with their colleagues. These employees have
most of their performance/related workplace needs unmet.
The ten C’s of employee engagement
$. Connect: =eaders must show that they value employees. 2mployee engagement is a direct
reflection of how employees feel about their relationship with the boss.
%. Career: =eaders should provide challenging and meaningful work with opportunities for career
advancement. %ost people want to do new things in their job. :or example1 do organi3ations
provide job rotation for their top talentB 're people assigned stretch goalsB
&. Clarity: =eaders must communicate a clear vision. ,uccess in life and organi3ations is1 to a great
extent1 determined by how clear individuals are about their goals and what they really want to
achieve. n sum1 employees need to understand what the organi3ation>s goals are1 why they are
important1 and how the goals can best be attained.
'. Convey: =eaders clarify their expectations about employees and provide feedback on their
functioning in the organi3ation.
(. Congratulate) 2xceptional leaders give recognition1 and they do so a lot# they coach and convey.
13 | P a g e

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/aakriti-dissertion 14/34
*. Contribute: People want to know that their input matters and that they are contributing to the
organi3ation>s success in a meaningful way. n sum1 good leaders help people see and feel how
they are contributing to the organi3ation>s success and future.
+. Control: 2mployees value control over the flow and pace of their jobs and leaders can create
opportunities for employees to exercise this control. ' feeling of “being in on things15 and of
being given opportunities to participate in decision making often reduces stress# it also creates
trust and a culture where people want to take ownership of problems and their solutions.
. Collaborate: ,tudies show that1 when employees work in teams and have the trust and
cooperation of their team members1 they outperform individuals and teams which lack good
relationships. 0reat leaders are team builders# they create an environment that fosters trust and
collaboration.-. Credibility: =eaders should strive to maintain a company>s reputation and demonstrate high
ethical standards.
$. Confidence: 0ood leaders help create confidence in a company by being exemplars of high
ethical and performance standards.
USES O# ENGAGEMENT
%easurement of employee engagement can have many applications within an organi3ation.
2ngagement can be a general index of )R effectiveness in an )R scorecard. 2ngagement
measures also can be used to conveniently benchmark the work climate against other
organi3ations.
Cther uses include+D Need anal!iD
The fundamental issues measured in engagement provide a $uick index of what leaders and )R
representatives need to do to make things better. n addition1 items in engagement surveys tend to

be very actionable. This means that leaders or others in the organi3ation can take action that will
affect the score on a single item.
Evaluation E
%any learning and performance interventions are designed to affect some aspect of engagement.
9hen an engagement measure is used as a pre/implementation baseline1 the impact of the
intervention can be gauged by measuring post/implementation changes in engagement.
=limate urve!D
,ome organi3ations like to use engagement measures as simple indexes of the workplace culture.9hile more extensive surveys are valuable1 sometimes it>s easier to focus attention on a few
simple and proven factors.
Leader or department $eedbac+D
!epending on the demographic information collected when the engagement measure is
implemented# one can create breakout reports by department or leader. This means departments
and leaders can gain a better understanding of how engagement in their particular group differs
from the rest of the organi3ation. This information can be used to create development plans or
plans for larger/scale interventions.

Research shows that committed employees perform better. f we accept that engagement1 as
many believe1 is Fone step up> from commitment1 it is clearly in the organi3ation>s interests to
understand the drivers of engagement. %any aspects of working life are strongly correlated with
engagement levels. )owever1 the strongest driver of all is a sense of feeling valued and involved.
This has several key components+
• =eadership of the organi3ation

area of improvement. The P%, at T- should measure both performance in achieving goals and
plans as well as performance as an employee in all managerial functions such as planning1
organi3ing1 leading and controlling. ew performance management techni$ues such as %&C

only after Performance %anagement ,ystem is well accepted by the employees and management
across the organi3ation.

The ,'P )R module can be used at T- to effectively manage information about the people
in the organi3ation. t can be integrated with other ,'P modules and external systems. t
could be used as a complete integrated system used for supporting and planning the
personnel activities. The Personnel 'dministration (P'* sub module can also be
implemented# this helps employers to track employee master data1 work schedules1 salary and
benefits information. The Personnel !evelopment (P!* which can be incorporated# focuses
on employees@ skills1 $ualifications and career plans. :inally1 other modules like the Time2valuation and Payroll sub modules1 process attendance and absences1 gross salary and tax

t will assist each individual to understand his or her strengths and weaknesses1 and to
contribute insights into aspects of his or her work needing professional development.
HK7 degree feedback will therefore be a positive addition to the performance management
system at T-. "ust as an organi3ation implements any planned change1 the implementation
of HK7 degree feedback should follow effective change management guidelines.

T- can get input from the employees themselves. The employees know what@s contributing
to the low engagement and have good ideas about how to fix it. The employees just need to
be asked 4 in the right way. Mou need an outside consultant that employees feel they can trust
to preserve their confidentiality. 9ith such external consulting agency1 the employees could
be honest about their responses1 if they knew the interviewer represented the company.
T- could hire such an external consulting agency to conduct an 2mployee 2ngagement

employees speak openly who could obtain the input you need to move the business forward.
They should identify the key areas of improvement and provide solutions. )owever it is
critical to acknowledge and follow up on identified issues. :ailure to do so by theconsultancy could lower the morale of the employees even further.

2valuation of training programs is the process of controlling and correcting the training
program. 2valuation of effectiveness of any training program is very important for the
management to assess if the training is useful and how it can be made more useful in future.
