Factors affecting employee engagement

 Management - Positive attitudes in management impact not only employee

engagement, but also retention numbers.
 Recognition - Any individual working for an organisation needs and wants to be
recognised for the work he/she does. This keeps him/her motivated and engaged in the
day-to-day activities of the firm.
 Workplace relationship - There is a constant need for collaboration amongst the
employees which will be a smooth process if they share a healthy relationship.
 Work-Life balance - There is a very fine line between the professional and personal
life of an employee which impacts employees performance.
 Professional development - The employers need to provide a good opportunity for
continuous learning and development to its employees

Metrics or tools to measure

 Employee net promoter Score - measured on a 0-10 scale based on a direct question
on whether they would suggest their friends and family to join the company.
 Employee Health Index – used to check the health index of employees on a regular
basis.
 Absenteeism and Turnover Rate - High absenteeism rate is a direct factor that affects
Employee Engagement as the other employees need to cover up on the employees
absent which puts a lot of stress on them. 
 Pulse surveys - These are smaller surveys distributed more frequently and used to get
a real-time view of how employees are feeling. They can be distributed on a quarterly,
monthly, or even weekly basis.

Pulse surveys

These smaller surveys are distributed more frequently and used to get a real-time view of how

employees are feeling. They can be distributed on a quarterly, monthly, or even weekly basis. By

regularly asking specific questions aimed at measuring employee engagement drivers, you can obtain

a holistic view of your employee engagement. This will let you know where to focus your efforts to

have the biggest impact on your workforce's engagement. You can also use pulse surveys to track

engagement progress through time or compare your pulse survey results to your employee survey

results to gauge how much progress you’ve made since identifying goals for improvement.
