I am not entirely familiar with Hewitt's engagement models; I should be, as we have begin to work closely with them in recent months. However, my understanding is that Hewitt's model is an a priori model. The working hypothesis is that the same va...

Hi Kevin, I agree with Michelle, the topic is monsterous!
I love the Hewitt model and reporting tool. I find that looking at your priority areas, low sat areas and the impact analysis by demographic splits can reveal perspectives the larger pictu...
Hi Kevin
I think that when organisations decide on behalf of their employees what engagement means for them they miss a huge trick.
The Hewitts of this world have done brilliant work on the generic drivers of employee engagement - but so what? S...
Hi Kevin,
I would give values measurement a try. You can measure underlying values and beliefs that drive behavior on 7 levels of consciousness. We find this adds invaluable insight to the employee engagement measures. Armed with both sets of mea...

Measures of Engagement
We currently measure engagement by participating in the annual Hewitt survey; this year we will also be undertaking a mid-year mini survey. In addition to this we measure attrition and absenteeism as "engagement" items. My question is what other measures have people found to be effective in looking at the engagement issue? Our customer satisfaction scores are high but our Hewitt scores are low, we are puzzled by this apparent disconnect. Looking forward to your input!

I actually did have a look on Gallup's 12 Questions, the only worry is that it measures more the enablers of employee engagement than employee engagement itself. I have however grouped the items into themes, and only o...
