Employee involvement survey
For many HR managers, only one question is really important: “How satisfied are our employees?” They use an annual survey to measure the employees satisfaction. However, employee satisfaction is not the only success factor. An employee can be satisfied with the coffee, with the salary and other labour conditions, but this doesn’t say anything about their personal commitment and motivation. An important aspect in the relationship between employer and employee is employee engagement. It therefore is important to measure not only the satisfaction, but also the involvement of employees with an employee engagement survey.
Benefits
In an employee engagement survey you measure the extent to which an employee feels involved with your company or organization. An employee engagement survey combines the satisfaction of the employees with their involvement. This helps you to discover who really cares about the ups and downs of your organization. Measuring the involvement of employees is very important and gives new useful insights. This is why more and more HR managers carry out an employee engagement survey instead of an employee satisfaction survey.
With an employee engagement survey you can:
- Measure employee engagement
- Increase employee involvement
- Increase employee engagement
Increasing employee engagement
Can you increase the employee engagement? An employee engagement survey gives you a good starting point, but what are the main factors to increase employee engagement?
- Give employees room for personal development.
- Ensure good growth opportunities.
- Give opportunities for self-development.
- Transparency from management.
If an employee doesn’t know what he or she is working for, it’s difficult to feel 100% involved.
Involvement of employees largely determines the success of an organization. If your employee engagement survey shows that you have an organization with a small amount of employees involved, this means you will have difficulties to achieve growth. In that situation, it is important to increase the involvement of employees. Committed employees are just taking an extra step for your company or organization.
A committed employee counts for two
A committed employee counts for two. He or she will probably get more work done and they are also a good ambassador for your organization to customers and family and friends.
It’s important that the employee engagement survey shows that your employees are satisfied too. If the employee is involved, but not satisfied, is that a negative sign.
In short; it’s crucial that you examine themes as satisfaction and involvement on a regular base to make a real difference to your employees.
