how to do it better

job

work-related improvements with others at work.
7. How to build an Engaged Workforce?
Fundamentals of any employee engagement strategy:
♠Leadership that gives a ‘strong strategic narrative about the organisation, where
it’s come from and where it’s going’.
♠Line Managers who motivate, empower and support their employees.
♠Employee Voice throughout the organisation, to challenge or reinforce the status quo
and involve employees in decision making.
♠‘Organisational integrity’: stated values are embedded into organisational culture;
what we say is what we do.
♠Integrity, closely relates to the sense of fairness and trust in the organisation and the
psychological contract, which depend on employers delivering on their commitments
and fulfilling employees’ expectations.

14. ESI
How the Employee Satisfaction Index (ESI) works and how to use
it?
Employee Satisfaction Index is a method used to get an overall
idea of how satisfied employees are with their workplace. The
procedure is built on three questions that are developed to
visualize in-house satisfaction in a way that is easy to measure
and present to employees. The questions are produced so that
they can be applied to all sorts of companies and industries.
15. ESI
Three questions of the Employee Satisfaction Index
These are the three questions which the Employee Satisfaction Index (ESI) is
based on:
♠How satisfied are you with your current workplace?
♠How well does your current workplace meet your
expectations?
♠How close is your current workplace to the ideal one?
Together they establish a company’s ESI. The employees answer the
questions on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is the lowest and worst value while
10 is the highest and best value.

22. Harvard Business Review: Employee Engagement
from 200,000 employees across 40 companies in 60
countries and found several troubling trends:
♠Engagement scores decline with employee tenure,
meaning that employees with the deepest knowledge
of the company typically are the least engaged.
♠Engagement scores decline as you go down the org
chart, so highly engaged senior executives are likely to
underestimate the discontent on the front lines.
♠Engagement levels are lowest among sales and
service employees, who have the most interactions
with customers.
♠Line supervisors, not HR, lead the charge.
♠Supervisors learn how to hold candid dialogues
with teams
♠Teams rally ’round the customer.
♠They also do regular “pulse checks.”
