Employee Engagement Definition The extent to which employees feel passionate about their jobs, are committed to the organization, and put discretionary effort into their work.

Focal EE starts with a list of carefully selected and statistically validated survey items. Once the survey is complete, the interactive employee engagement dashboard enables you to dig deep into the survey results to understand the dynamics of engagement throughout your organization.

Focal EE Framework - Employee Engagement, Strategic Alignment, and Performance

Performance = Alignment x Competency x Engagement

Engagement with
The Organization
How do employees feel about the organization?

Engagement with
Manager
How do employees feel about their direct supervisors?

Strategic Alignment
Is employee effort focused in the right direction?

Competency (360)
Do managers have the skills to get the job done and motivate employees?

Focal EE is structured around the four key components that drive employee performance. Engagement and Alignment are measured by the Focal EE survey. Competency is measured separately with 360 Degree Feedback. For a more detailed explanation of the employee engagement and performance model, click here.

Employee Engagement Survey

Our employee engagement survey contains 63 carefully selected questions in 18 categories, most of which are similar to those found on our list of sample employee survey items. The items and categories have been statistically validated and benchmarked against a wide range of organizations. Why 63 items? Because that's what our research tells us we need in order to get a complete picture of what is driving engagement within an organization. On average, it takes employees just 8 minutes to answer all 63 items, so the burden on your workforce will be small. The added depth and detail will leave you with many more answers and far fewer questions.

Topics Include: Teamwork & Cooperation Quality & Customer Focus Respect for Management Respect for Employees Purpose and Direction Communication Trust ...and more!

Virtual Focus Groups - A Customized Survey for Each and Every Employee!

The company shown here has strong engagement overall with the exception of one area - Teamwork and Cooperation.

Employees whose responses indicated that "teamwork and cooperation" was weak were asked to elaborate on the nature of the problem as well as proposed solutions to the problem. The company received several pages of detailed written comments that enabled them to better understand the issues and also suggested some ways to fix these issues.

Numeric results and comments can also be viewed for specific demographic subgroups, which will enable you to isolate and target localized problems within your organization.

Employee Engagement Dashboard - Probe Deeper with Powerful Analytical Tools

Scalpel vs. Sledgehammer

In our experience, most engagement issues are local. Companies sometimes have broad-based problems that need to be addressed company-wide, but regardless of how a company is doing overall, there are always things happening further down in an organization that are having a negative impact on engagement within a specific department, location, workgroup, etc. The employee engagement dashboard will enable you to instantly identify these problem areas within your organization so you can take action more quickly and with greater precision.

This is the analysis tool that the big consulting firms wish they had... and wish you didn't have since it makes most of the work they do obsolete.
