In good and bad economic times, maximizing the contribution from every employee is vital to your organization’s success. Engaging the hearts and minds of employees — creating an environment in which employees feel energy, passion, and commitment to their employer and their jobs — is a proven key to innovation, productivity, customer satisfaction, and profitability. Uncovering the factors that make your workforce willing to go the extra mile is the central challenge of day-to-day management. Do you know what engages your employees and what turns them off?

Most organizations know that a highly skilled, focused, and committed workforce is one of the few remaining sources of competitive advantage. Yet employers frequently fall short when it comes to aligning employee behaviors and interests with the employer’s vision, securing employees’ commitment, and inspiring them to achieve and exceed business goals.

Buck Consultants has developed a comprehensive Employee Engagement Survey that can help you determine the extent to which engagement is a problem for your organization. Understanding your workforce and any potential issues will help you retain top performers, reduce distractions that have a negative impact on productivity, enhance employee loyalty, and rebuild employee morale.

We tailor our survey approach to your business strategy, human resource strategy, and employee population. Our goal is to provide data-driven, action-oriented recommendations for increasing the engagement of your workforce in a way that improves your bottom line. We focus on:

• Surveying your workforce to determine the level of engagement
• Identifying the specific drivers of engagement that are most important for you — those high-leverage factors that can drive higher and higher levels of employee engagement
• Helping you set priorities for actions that will have the greatest impact

Our employee engagement survey measures eight organizational factors that can drive high levels of engagement:

• Leadership
• Rewards
• Communication and Involvement
• Advancement and Development Focus
• Immediate Supervision
• Co-worker Relations
• Job Characteristics
• HR Policies and Practices

In addition to designing and conducting the survey and analyzing the results, Buck’s seasoned consultants also can help you with crucial post-survey activities including communicating the results to employees, developing your action planning process, and providing engagement-related consulting services.
