What happens once you’ve taken the pulse of your employee population? This case study demonstrates some of our activities following a U.S. Employee Engagement survey in 2010 - and how those activities generated real benefits both to the organization and the employees involved. This was presented at the tri-state Society for Human Resource Management conference in Springfield, April 27th 2012

4. Engagement is „wicked‟ hard (perhaps)
• „Tame‟ problems:
– Well-defined, stable problem statement
– We will know when a solution is reached
• „Wicked‟ problems:
– Ill-defined and ambiguous
– Complex interacting issues dynamically
evolving
– Context is critical

5. The Dilbert Index
“I look for the number of Dilbert comics and that seems to be
inversely proportional to the level of morale. A lot of Dilbert comics
seems to be like a passive aggressive way of an employee
complaining.” -- Damon Beaven

6. Just because it‟s hard, doesn‟t mean we
shouldn‟t think about it
Definition of Employee Engagement: An engaged employee exhibits a combination of
intellectual connection and emotional commitment - which together motivate and drive
everything they say and do.
Employee Engagement is a Leading Indicator
of Financial Performance
By industry, organizations with engaged employees have 3.9 times
the earnings-per-share growth rate of organizations whose
employees are less engaged
Engaged Employees Are Motivated, Creative and
Productive
88% of fully engaged employees believe they can positively impact
the quality of their organization’s products and services.
• Only 38% of disengaged employees feel the same way.
Engaged Employees Stay
Two-thirds of highly engaged employees have no plan to leave
their current jobs; versus one-third of the moderately engaged
and12% of the disengaged.

10. Action planning
Three organizational priorities were identified following the 2010 U.S. Engagement
Survey:
• Trust and Confidence in Leadership
• Work, Structure, and Process
• Teamwork and Collaboration
The Work, Structure, and Process sub-team focused on a grassroots approach for
affecting change:
• 60+ cross functional colleagues from across the U.S.
• Engaged with Business Resource Groups and the Office of Diversity, Inclusion,
and Engagement
• Empowered Employees through an implicit adoption of ‘Commander’s Intent’;
provided enough structure and guidance to enable, without dictating explicit
solution
• Experimented with Internal Social Media tools to ask questions, and solicit
feedback, in the spirit of continuous improvement
• Sought to ensure institutionalization of outcomes

14. Social media is a great way to reach the right
people. Consider the following …
Following the 2010 U.S. Engagement Survey, the topic of Work, Structure, and Process was
highlighted as an area of organizational frustration. This is a pretty broad topic though, and
the Work, Structure, and Process team needed to identify the root causes of the frustrations
we all expressed and try to find ways to fix them.
So, the team did the sensible thing, and simply asked.
On Thursday, November 4th 2010 the first ever all Employee online discussion was run using
EmployeeCONNECT (Ask BI back then). During this discussion, Scott Lanzilotta, a
colleague at Ben Venue Laboratories, self-identified as an expert in Business Process
excellence, and shared a number of insightful comments around Meeting Effectiveness. This
was a known issue for the Work, Structure, and Process team, who subsequently approached
Scott to lead a team around that very problem. Throughout 2011, Scott and colleagues
estimated that approximately two million Effort Hours were used on ineffective meetings and
have fashioned a strategy, toolkit, and communication plan, which they rolled out across the
U.S., to support the reduction of ineffective meetings by 20% by April 2012.
Through social media an expert was found and
organizational efficiencies realized.
