Hi Stephen,
Even I had a similar discussion some time back and I could manage only a couple of replies. Below the link to that. It may be helpful.

I have collaborated in many ways with the Gallup Organization since 1998 when they first released "First, Break All the Rules." I used the Q12 in my doctoral dissertation and have always been willing to share my data with Gallup (as if they need it)…
Hi guys
I am new to this forum, and have found it most valuable.
wish i could have had something like this at the beginning of my career!! LOL.
I was looking to use the Q12, as it seems like the most effective way of getting a bottom line interms…
Agree with David, don't do it without talking to Gallup first. A number of reasons... It's copyrighted, there is more to it that just the questions - interpreting the stats afterwards can be flawed without more insight than the book gives and refere…
Great discussion guys!
Q12 was created by Curt Coffman some time ago, back when Bob Dole was running for president. Curt was also the co-author of First, Break All The Rules (new Facebook Group)
With some updated research Curt has created a new enga…
I didn't see that anyone else brought this up, so just to clarify-anything that is "published" does not become "public domain". PD means it's been around since dirt and the copyright has expired, so it's up for grabs. Think about the song "Oh Susann…
this judgement was vacated. http://altlaw.org/v1/cases/44635 Gallup was found to have properly copyrighted the items.

Gallup and Kenexa Settle Outstanding Lawsuit
WAYNE, Pa., Feb. 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kenexa(R) , a leading…
Stephen,
I have allowed individuals to use my survey items (mostly academics for their research thesis) as long as I get credit for the survey design. However, I believe that you wish to use the engagement survey you can acquire for your own busines…
This is very interesting. I wonder if it is only applicablein the USA. It is interesting for more than the legal issues that you have given us an example of.
Most surveys include survey items that can be found in more than one survey. There is a lim…
There is actually dispute about this. A decision in 2004 said Gallup had no copyright on the statements. Not sure where it stands now.
Gallup, Inc. v. Kenexa Corp., No. Civ.A. 00-5523 (E.D. Pa. November 8, 2004).
Four years of copyright litigation…
Thank you Eric.
I will investigate this now
Kind regards

The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale is a good one to use. Go here and then click on "research" in the left column and then on "tests".
Thank you for all the valuable responses I have received.
Moving forward - what alternative survey tools/questions do people on this forum use and recommend for measuring employee engagement?
My ideal criteria:
Research based
Widely used
Freely av…
Stephen, in addition to all the responses you've received on this, I'll add one more. We work with Gallup on our engagement program, and one thing I've noticed about them is their sensitivity to copyright and other intellectual property issues. They…
Thank you for this information Abhishek
Kind regards
Stephen

Welcome to the employee engagement network. I am so pleased you have been so active already and I want to encourage you to stay engaged with this site. It is always a pleasure to have another member from Canada in a network that began in Winnipeg 18 months ago.
I trust you will find even more useful information and valuable interactions. Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Recognize that employee engagement is not a fluffy extra but the fundamental way you will get work done with others through conversation, co-creation, community, mutuality, and other inclusive approaches to achieve results that matter to organizatio…
Ah, the script for a boss! That is easy, but a long way from the traditional one.
First, I suggest the boss do a quick read of Douglas McGregor's "The Human Side of Enterprise" to gain an understanding of the theory behind X and Y. Then commit the…
Jon...
Great stuff. Particularly like the piece about attacking "internal friction".
I still think the macro issues, namely around what kind of relationships does the organisation wish to have with specific groups/classes of employees need to be c…
My view on this is that where you treat employee engagement like a ‘big bang’ corporate change programme it will always carry a significant risk of turning into an ‘organisational Vietnam’. Don’t go to war in the first place!
Do it by taking lots a…
Manage by being a part of them, not by standing apart from them.
