'IT' OF EMPLOYEEENGAGEMENT
I'M IN THE PROCESS OF CARRYING OUT A SURVEY ON EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT A REPUTED COMPANY IN INDIA. FROM THE INITIAL INTERVIEWS OF THE EMPLOYEES WHAT I COULD GATHER IS 'IT' IS AN UNCODITIONAL SURRENDER TO THE ORGANISATION THEY WORK FOR. THIS PARTICULAR STARTED IN 1994 HAS 70% OF THE EMPLOYEES WORKING SINCE THE INCEPTION OF THE COMPANY. ITRIED TO PROBE THEM BY ASKING QNS VIZ WON'T YOU LEAVE THE COMPANY IF ANOTHER FIRMOFFERS YOU BETTER CAREER PROSPECTS AND PAY PACKAGE . THE ANSWER TO THIS WAS A FIRM NO.

Why do you think this is?
I have connections to India too, through outsourcing and another business relationship there. I've heard that it is getting pretty tough to keep people and there is a lot of poaching going on (in the high tech sector).
Would you also do me a favour and type in sentence case? It's easier for me to read and it doesn't appear to be shouting.

Hi Carol ,
Thanx for the respopnse. Ur observation is quite right . My observation was infact based
on the interview carried on senior lot. However the Jr lot are always in search of greener
pastures. I'd be grateful if u can throw some light on effective way of carrying out
Employee Engagement survey.

Hi,
We recently completed an global survey on Engagement and we had a strong response from Indian firms. The survey was done in collaboration with Business World and they published the India results as a special report:
Here is a link to the report.
We did not find the type of company loyalty you describe. If anything many people were looking at making the most from the ongoing economic opportunities - be it inside their current firm or somewhere else...
I hope this helps!

A manager should always remember he/she is "on stage"- and his/her subordinates notice every little trait so always exhibit the behavior you would want them to emulate.

In my experience, achieving engagement creates huge increases in productivity per person, morale, retention, profits, sales, and every other "devoutly to be wished" result. So it is always worth the effort.

Interesting question. I'm drawn to less is more, and even that may be too much :) My experience has shown me that the more fearful the organisation is, the more often it seeks to measure as a means to try and stave off the fear. It then often ends u…
I would contend never is too soon.
If you understand what engagement is and how to achieve it, then you know what an engaged employee sounds like and acts like as compared to one who is somewhat engaged or disengaged. Surveys turn people off while…
