Employee “Engagement” Defined
Employee Engagement Study, July 2012
An engaged employee is enthusiastically and proudly involved in his or her organization and
day-to-day job responsibilities, and engagement keeps employees committed to their work.
“A heightened emotional connection that an employee feels for his or her organization, that
influences him or her to exert greater discretionary effort to his or her work.”
- The Conference Board
“The measurable degree of an employee’s positive or negative emotional attachment to their
job, colleagues and organization that profoundly influences their willingness to learn and
perform at work.”
Why is Engagement Important?
Engagement Benchmarks
“Only 58% of public sector employees
are fully engaged in their jobs.”
“Depending on global region, industry type
and company size, an average of 29% 33% of employees can be considered at
any particular point in time.”
Engaged public sector employees are…
► Twice
as likely to stay in their current job
► 2.5
times more likely to feel they can “make a difference”
► 2.5
times more likely to recommend their workplace to others
► Three
times as likely to report being “very satisfied” in their jobs
Why is Engagement Important?
 Revenue: engaged employees play a major role in helping achieve
revenue goals.
 Employee retention: engaged workforces enjoy higher retention rates.
 Productivity: engaged employees are more productive.
 Morale: engaged employees have higher morale.
 Creativity: engaged employees are viewed as more creative and
innovative.

stakeholders.

Key First Steps
Measure Engagement
Levels
What are the
components of
engagement?
How do my levels
compare to others’
levels?
How does
engagement differ by
division, department,
region, management
level, etc…?
Assess Factors
Driving Engagement
How do the drivers of
engagement differ
across various units
and levels?
Are current programs
focused on
engagement or
something less?
Take Action!
Recognize and
reward engagement
(share stories,
recognize good work,
reinforce positives)
Remediate areas of
disengagement
(create clarity, revise
messaging, re-focus
training)
Current State of Measurement
“Do You Have A Formal Employee Survey?”
Not Sure - 3%
Yes - 30%
No - 67%
“In spite of the importance of employee
retention to agency success, more than
two-thirds of those surveyed do not have
a formal process, such as employee
opinion surveys or other research tools,
for assessing employee engagement.”
