DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
PRIMARY DATA primary data is gathered through a survey with the help of
questionnaire.
SECONDARY DATA secondary data sources includes
Books
various websites
Sample size:
The survey was carried out on a sample size of 150 but out of those 110
respondents turned up to furnish the information.
Sampling technique:
Analysis instrument:
The data was systematically analyzed using Excel with all the standard formulas
and functions.
Procurement of respondents
Semantics
Refusals
Refusals occurred when they refused to respond and participate in the research
survey. They refused because of reasons like their attitude or personality and the
circumstances under they were present.
Non Response
Not At Home
Some of the respondents were not on their seats. Problem faced in calling them
up.
The quest to find the best way to retain employees has taken HR pundits
through concepts such as employee reviews, employee satisfaction and
employee delight. The latest idea is employee engagement. A concept that holds
that is the degree to which an employee is emotionally bonded to his
organization and passionate about his work that really matters. In a highly
competitive market for both customers and talented staff employee engagement
is the current “HOLY GRAIL”.
So, we define engagement as the „extent to which employees thrive at work, are
committed to their employer ,and are motivated to do their best, for the benefit
The global survey shows that 34% of the employees in India are fully engaged
and 13% disengaged. As many as 29% are‟ almost engaged. Thus we come to a
wider classification of employees in three categories:
ENGAGED EMPLOYEE:
Employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their company.
They drive innovation and are self motivated to drive the organization forward.
NOT ENGAGED:
Employees are essentially „checked out‟. They sleep walking through their
workday, putting time but not energy or passion…into their work.
ACTIVELY DISENGAGED:
Employees are not unhappy at their work but ever cribbing and dissatisfied.
Always undermine what their engaged co-workers accomplish.
How can leaders engage employees‟ heads, hearts, and hands? The literature
offers several avenues for action; I summarize these as the Ten C‟s of employee
engagement:
3.3.1 Connect:
3.3.2 Career:
3.3.3 Clarity:
Leaders must communicate a clear vision. People want to understand the vision
that senior leadership has for the organization, and the goals that leaders or
departmental heads have for the division, unit, or team. Employees need to
understand what the organizations‟ goals are, why they are important and how
the goals can be attained.
3.3.4. Convey:
3.3.4. Congratulate:
Employees feel that they receive immediate feedback when their performance is
poor, or below expectations. These same employees also report praise and
recognition for strong performance is much less common. Exceptional leaders
give recognition and they do so lot; they coach and convey.
3.3.6. Contribute:
People want to know that their input matters and that they are contributing to
the organization‟s success in a meaningful way. This might be easy to articulate
in settings such as hospitals and educational institutions. In sum, good leaders
help people see and feel how they are contributing to the organizations‟ success
future.
Employee‟s value control over the flow and pace of their jobs and leaders can
create opportunities for employees to exercise this control.
3.3.8. Collaborate:
When employees work in teams and have the trust and cooperation of their team
members, they outperform individuals and teams which lack good relationships.
Leaders create an environment that fosters trust and collaboration.
3.3.9. Credibility:
3.3.10. Confidence:
They are motivated proud, loyal, committed and experience work as enjoyable
absorbing and fulfilling. It is of course unrealistic to expect all employees to be
totally engaged 100% of the time that is aspirational target but more as
organization works to create an environment where by individuals can flourish
the better.
Studies have shown that there are some critical factors which lead to Employee
Engagement. Some of them identified are:
Fig (iii)
Employees need to feel that the core values for which their companies
stand are unambiguous and clear.
Empowerment
Image
How much employees are prepared to endorse the products and services
which their company provides its customers depends largely on their
perceptions of the quality of those goods and services. High levels of
employee engagement are inextricably linked with high levels of
customer engagement.
Performance appraisal
The company should have a proper pay system so that the employees are
motivated to work in the organization. In order to boost his engagement
Research indicates that the engagement levels are low if the employee
does not feel Secure while working. Therefore every organization should
adopt appropriate methods and systems for the health and safety of their
employees.
Job Satisfaction
Communication
The company should follow the open door policy. There should be both
upward and downward communication with the use of appropriate
communication channels in the organization. If the employee is given a
say in the decision making and has the right to be heard by his boss than
the engagement levels are likely to be high.
Family Friendliness
A person‟s family life influences his wok life. When an employee realizes
that the organization is considering his family‟s benefits also, he will
have an emotional attachment with the organization which leads to
engagement.
Co-operation
If the entire organization works together by helping each other i.e. all the
employees as well as the supervisors co-ordinate well than the employees
will be engaged.
Trust and integrity – how well managers communicate and 'walk the talk'.
Pride about the company – How much self-esteem does the employee feel by
being associated with their company?
Relationship with one's manager – Does the employee value his or her
relationship with his or her manager?
• The employees and their own unique psychological makeup and experience
• The employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee
engagement
Identify the problem areas to which are the exact areas which lead to
disengagement among employees.
Communications activities
Reward schemes
Activities to build the culture of the organizational
Team building activities
These help employees find out what is going on within the company outside of
their immediate team. They also help to create an environment of trust and
openness within the organization where they are able to talk openly. Employees
who feel they are listened to are able to express dissatisfaction and work
together to resolve their causes, without it affecting their performance.
Culture-building activities are great for generating a feeling of belonging, but all
organisations are building out of smaller teams who can get on and work
together.
A great organisation needs not just a great leader, but people with leadership
skills. This stimulates good performance, boosts creativity and eases succession
planning.
Effective Leadership
Effective Performance Management
Fair evaluation of performance
Coaching and mentoring activities to give honest feedback by supervisors
and peers
An open and transparent culture to empower people and develop
entrepreneurs.
Employees are also involved in TQM & TPM related activities. They have been
encouraged to participate in improvement projects and their initiatives are
displayed to the top management through exhibition.
EDUCATIONAL COMPETITIONS
Educational competitions are conducted for all staff employee‟s children. In this
type of competition all children of various age groups can participate. There are
many quiz related to different subjects and general knowledge. Beside these
they organize painting competitions, hobby classes for the children of their
employees.
In career counselling program children of staff employees are invited for their
career counselling. Consultants are invited for those children from best career
consultancy institutes. Tests are taken to know the interest area and their
capabilities.
All employees of each department gather for daily morning meeting in which
they give their thoughts on current issues, motivational theories, industrial
thinking and laughter day etc. Rewards are also given to those employees who
give their thoughts.

Fig (iv)
Observations:
With the responses we deduce that 60% of the respondents hold the view that
commitment to work defines employee engagement, followed by belief in
organization and the others. We can interpret that people in the organization are
more inclined towards commitment to work.
Findings
Options TOTAL AGE
Up to Above
40 yrs 40 yrs
Fig (v)
Observations:
The above data reflects that Growth opportunities in the organization drive
employee engagement to the most followed by autonomy at work, which means
employee engagement can be enhanced if more growth opportunities are
provided to the employees along with independence at work place.
Categorically there is another important observation comes to light that, growth
opportunities are more important to people below 40yrs,wheras their senior
counterparts feel autonomy is more important to drive employee engagement.

4.Stres/Workload 9% 6% 10%
5.Others(Pls specify) 5% 8% 3%
Fig (vi)
Observations:
With the data analysis we can draw that lack of incentives is the key deterrent to
employee engagement, followed by inadequate resources and harsh boss,
making, it very clear that employee productivity declines if they are not
motivated by giving due rewards and recognition.

Observations:
A pat on the back, influences human psychology the most. This very
prominently comes in light with this observation; majority of employees would
contribute more to the organization, if their efforts are appreciated.

Fig (viii)
Observations:
This shows that majority of the employees in the organization are of the view
that they are fully engaged, which is a positive sign towards employee
productivity but not to ignore a chunk who are over engaged. There is still a belt
in minority who feel they are pretending to be engaged.
Fig (ix)
Observations:
With the analysis we infer that there is a majority of people who feel that their
colleagues are moderately engaged, close to it are people who feel that their
colleagues are actively engaged, which reflects there is a healthy work
relationship in the organization. Not to ignore, there is a significant number of
people who feel their colleagues are pretending to be engaged.
Fig (x)
Observations:
Fig (xi)
Observations:
We could clearly infer from the results that majority of the employees would
work harder for the organization only when the work is of some value;
there is also an inclination to work beyond expectations only when better
opportunities for growth exist. We also come across an important fact that
majority of the employees would not work if their boss insists.
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES AT HHML Page 39
Question9:
Fig (xii)
Observations:
It is very clearly reflected here that most employees keep themselves engaged
because they want to prove their capabilities, which again is a progressive sign.
Almost 30% keep themselves engaged because they have a sense of
belongingness to the organization, whereas no one carries out their activities to
please their bosses.

Fig (xiii)
Observations:
From the above graph we can easily make out that there is a direct relationship
between compensation and motivation with a majority of 69.8% responding to
it, which means better compensation policies motivates employees to be
productive. A significant relation also lays b/w engagement and compensation.

Fig (xiv)
Observations:
We can infer from the above data that the overall engagement level in HHML is
moderate, because a majority of 47% believe so, that the overall engagement
level is 50 to 75%.Close to it are people with 28% ,with a perception of the
engagement level to be 75 to 90%.
Findings:
Fig (xv)
Observations:
This is a crystal clear picture of the employees where majority of 90% feel they
are aware of what is expected of them at work which is a very positive sign for
the employee productivity again.

5.Cant say 2% 5% 0%
Fig (xvi)
Observations:
The above data very clearly indicates that the distribution of work in the
organization is very lopsided and needs instant review with almost a majority of
40% responding to the option that work distribution in the organization needs
review. Distribution of work should be given due consideration.

3.Mangeable 76% 69% 80%
4.Low 7% 13% 3%
5.No stress 6% 3% 8%
Fig (xvii)
Observations:
We can infer from the above graph that majority of employees in the
organization can manage their work stress easily, though there are still people in
various pockets who feel that their work stress is too high or creating
depression, this scenario can also exist due unbalanced distribution of work.

Fig (xviii)
Observations:
This Question gives us an insight into the pace of work in the organization,
which indicates the piling up of work, or back logging is very insignificant, as a
meagre 2% and 5% employee feel that their work is either a stagnant or slow.
The majority responds that their work is steady.

5.Chit chat friends 2% 5% 0%
Fig (xix)
Observations:
We can infer from the data that a majority of 66% employees at work place
enjoy implementing creative thoughts to routine activities or crisis management
which is 17% and 15%, which again indicates that autonomy should be
provided to the employees so that they can be more productive and creative.
Efforts should be made to enhance their creativity.
Findings:
Options TOTAL AGE
Up to 40 Above 40
yrs yrs
1.A pleasure 39% 44% 36%
Fig (xx)
Observations:
The above data reflects the psyche of the employees, where they feel that
coming to office is more like a routine which is a mechanical tendency; whereas
there is an extreme minority which feels it‟s a pain or compulsion coming to
office. We can also find the second majority of people who find pleasure in
coming to workplace.
Findings:

1.No way/Never 9% 8% 10%
2.Probably yes 41% 46% 38%
3.Definitely yes 33% 26% 38%
4.Depends 17% 21% 15%
5.Cant say 0% 0% 0%
Fig (xxi)
Observations:
The above data clearly depicts that majority of the employees with 41% would
probably recommend their company, which shows their lack of confidence in
recommending the company with conviction ,Close to it were people who feel
that that they would recommend their company by all means. There is a minor
section in the company which feels strongly against promoting their
organization.
Fig (xxii)
Observations:
The above graph clearly defines the quitting chances of the employees, there are
46% employees who feel that they would quit the job in case the opportunity is
worthy enough compared to present job, whereas 25% people feel they may or
may not quit the job. But there is still a significant number who would stick by
the job under any circumstances. Categorically if we observe we can find that
people below 40 yrs are more inclined towards quitting the job if a better
opportunity arrives rather than the employees above 40 yrs.
Apart from these we can also recommend some employee engagement activities
that can be fruitful for the organization. These activities will show more
employees involvement. These are:
2. CAREER TRACK
3. THEME EVENTS
Theme Events can be conducted which can add colour and interest to any type
of event like formal dinner party or even company conference. When embracing
a theme it really is all or nothing and there is no room for compromise with
success relying on full commitment to the theme and the creativity to deliver.
The company can use the setting of all staff gathering to host the award
ceremony. The setting will motivate all staff to practice the behaviours and core
values of the company in hopes of earning the award. Employees will observe
the importance of the award as top management personally greet the winners
when their names would be announced. The winner employees will be also
presented with a symbolic award on stage by the individual who nominated
them for the award.
Employee Photo Contest lets employees "take their best shot" for the company's
annual corporate calendar. All the photographs that appear in the calendar are
taken by Company employees. There will be one grand prize of Rs.1, 000 and
12 prizes of Rs.500.
Holiday Drawing Contest can celebrate the creative talents of the children and
grandchildren of employees and pensioners. The winning young artist should
receive Rs.1, 000 and their artwork should become Company's official holiday
season greeting card that will be mailed to thousands of Company customers
and suppliers every year.
