Employee engagement impacts all areas work – that’s why it’s important to measure.
Officevibe is an employee experience platform featuring surveys, feedback forms, performance reviews and recognition options. It says that engagement needs to be measured consistently to see what works and what needs to be improved.
Keeping a pulse on engagement ensures that individuals, teams, departments and the whole company is on the right track – and that interests are beneficial and employee-focused.
According to Officevibe, there are 10 ways businesses can measure employee engagement.
Ways to measure employee engagement:
- Feedback – commit to doing it frequently and providing quality updates
- Recognition – this too should be done frequently and recognize the quality of work
- Happiness – consider happiness at work and work-life balance
- Relationship with peers – monitor collaboration, communication and trust within teams
- Relationship with managers – assess how an employee collaborates and communicates with leaders, and if trust is present
- Personal growth – understand if employees have autonomy, mastery and purpose
- Alignment – ask whether employees are ethical, social responsible, and aligned with the company mission, vision, and values
- Satisfaction – find out if employees are fairly compensated, and if they feel comfortable in the organization
- Wellness – note their personal health and stress levels
- Ambassadorship – consider employee pride and calculate their Net Promoter Score
