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.

Do you ever wonder how past leaders could have missed what seems so obvious in hindsight? Sadly, most leaders live in an environment that makes them vulnerable to managerial failure. The problem lies in a little-recognized reality of leadership: iso…
Dear Ray,
Your concern is well founded. Employees look forward to surveys like they do a visit to the dentist! The Horsepower Survey, however, is an employee-focused survey to measure how rewarded employees feel about their work. It consists of sev…
Mike,
I will make mention of this new group in the next newsletter. Thank you for starting this and I wish you well and all European members the best with this focus.

Jason:
Good points about trust and aligning the strategic engagement with employee engagement. We need results for all.
I am concerned you will lose readers due to lack of formatting on this post. I encourage you to ensure that you format your pos…
Thanks for sharing this information, Roy.
When I was Research Director at The Loyalty Institute, we found that the #1 driver of employee commitment was an organization's efforts to build a sense of spirit and pride. This was true in the US as well…
As a survey consultant I guess that I should like the idea of conducting monthly surveys, but I am concerned that employees may feel that they are being "over surveyed."
There are options, of course. An organization might randomly assign each emplo…
This is a great read, a great story. I smiled the whole time as I read this. If this conversation is possible in your organization, then I'd say your leadership is trusted and transparent. Thanks for this story.
I won't be wishing you "Season's Greetings" or "Happy Holidays" this December. These secular, generic salutations are popular in corporate America because they are not specific to any one religion or belief system. The business world, like America's…
Hello Paul:
"if you want to improve productivity and reduce costs, you need to
tap into human nature’s pleasure-fueled engine."
I could not agree more but if we wait until after we hire someone we have waited too long.
