Employee Engagement
 Employee engagement can be defined as an employee putting forth
extra discretionary effort, as well as the likelihood of the employee
being loyal and remaining with the organization over the long haul.
Research shows that engaged employees: perform better, put in
extra efforts to help get the job done, show a strong level of
commitment to the organization, and are more motivated and
optimistic about their work goals. Employers with engaged
employees tend to experience low employee turnover and more
impressive business outcomes.

Attrition in India to top world charts in 2013; one in four employees to change jobs
One in four employees in the organized sector in India is set to switch jobs, the
highest attrition rate globally, according to a Hay Group study. The series of
fresh investments planned across sectors could raise demand for talent
even as economic conditions remain tepid, raising concerns on employee
engagement and retention.
By Ross Reck According to a recent article in The Economic Times, India is "in
the eye of an employee turnover storm. " With a projected employee
turnover rate of 26.9% for 2013, India will lead the world in employee
turnover. Recruiting and training replacement employees is expensive and
has a significant .negative impact on a company's bottom line.
The attrition level is become a hard nut to crack in business peoples, only good
employee engagement activities can drive a good path for business
success. Retaining employees is gaining importance in today‟s business
world.

Drivers of Engagement - What
matters most?
Knowing whether employees are engaged or disengaged is only the first step. You also
need to be able to take action on the results. You need to understand the key drivers
of engagement and disengagement, and you need to be able to plan activities or
initiatives that will have the greatest impact on increasing engagement. The elements
that drive engagement are usually similar across most companies, but the specific
concerns and level of importance are unique and specific in every company and even
in different demographic subgroups within a company. We employ two techniques
that enable you to identify the key drivers of engagement in your company and to
understand what to focus on and how to improve in those areas.
Priority Level - we look at the statistical patterns across all groups in your organization
to determine which items are impacting overall engagement within each demographic
group. Items with low scores that are strongly linked to engagement are the areas
where you will want to focus your change initiatives and engagement strategy.
Virtual Focus Groups - next, we ask targeted follow-up questions at the end of the
survey that ask employees to provide examples of problems as well as suggestions
for how to improve. Once you have identified an area that needs improvement, you
can turn to the comments where you will often find detailed information that provides
the specific what, why, and how so you can take action.

ENABLERS OF ENGAGEMENT
The below four enablers of engagement have proved to be useful lenses which can help
organizations assess the effectiveness of their approaches.
 Visible, empowering leadership providing a strong strategic narrative about the
organization, where it‟s come from and where it‟s going.
 Engaging managers who focus their people and give them scope, treat their people
as individuals and coach and stretch their people.
 There is employee voice throughout the organizations, for reinforcing and
challenging views, between functions and externally, employees are seen as central
to the solution.
 There is organizational integrity – the values on the wall are reflected in day to day
behaviors. There is no „say –do‟ gap.
