 CONCEPTUAL EXPLANATION OF TITLE
• Employee engagement is the act of an employee being
involved in, excited about and contented with the work. It is
a property of the relationship between an organization and
its employees.
• The present study is made on attempt to identify the level of
Employee Engagement and various factors contributing to
the engagement factors.
• It also provides an opportunity to get an exposure on the HR
department and its functional areas as a Project trainee in
SPIC.

 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
SOURCE OF DATA

• Secondary data ; Manuals, Company websites, Research books
SAMPLING ELEMENTS
Population includes all the employees working in Human resource,
Finance, Administration and Marketing departments in SPIC, Total
population is 174.
SAMPLE SIZE ESTIMATION
The sample size of this study is 121 respondents from Human
resource ,Finance, Administration and Marketing departments in SPIC.
SAMPLING TECHNIIQUES & ANALYTICAL TOOLS;
• Percentage Analysis
• One way ANOVA
• Correlation
 FINDINGS
• The hypothesis related to objective 1 is, ‘to analyse the Utilisation of skills
& abilities, Maintenance of work life, Satisfaction of benefit package,
Decision making skills of the seniors with respect to Experience of the
employees’. The One way ANOVA test result shows that the alternative
hypothesis is rejected and there is no significant difference between them.
• The hypothesis related to objective 2 is, ‘to analyse the Satisfaction of
work, Supportive superiors, Understanding level as an employee with
respect to Gender’. The One way ANOVA test result shows that the
alternative hypothesis is rejected and the good relationship is maintained
between them.
• The hypothesis related to objective 3 is, ‘to analyse the Career
development programme and training offered by the organisation with
respect to age’. The One way ANOVA test result shows that the alternative
hypothesis is rejected and the good relationship is maintained between
them.
• Correlation was performed to identify the relationships among all the
measures used in this study. it could be identified that all the variables
are highly correlated with each other. This means a fairly good set of
independent and dependent variables were selected to study. The model
feeling of employees accomplishment towards their organisation was
negatively correlated with work environment (-.042) and transparency
in the communication of information necessary for doing their work
(-.086). This shows that whenever the feeling of accomplishment
towards their organisation arises the necessity of transparency in the
communication of information is becoming less and the work
environment does not arise as an issue. The negative correlation of
work environment (-.071) with career growth and development shows
that work environment regarding career growth and development is not
that much sound.
 RECOMMENDATIONS
• Employees are emotionally attached to the organization due
to the job satisfaction, fair treatment and adequate
supervision hence it should be sustained.
• Many employees feel that training serves greater purpose
for their career development. Hence training needs should
be properly recognized.
• Employee engagement activities at SPIC are up to the mark,
further I suggest there must be some activities and events
conduct for the employees and their family member which
will create a familiar environment in the organisation.
• Supervisors and Managers should meet at regular intervals
with the employees to discuss about the improvement in the
company, at work place and in their living of standard,
family problems etc, to continue this in future as well.
• Very least employees feel that their ideas or work can‘t be
appreciated. So encourage them by making them feel that
their ideas as well as they are important for the company.
 CONCLUSIONS
On the basis of study, it can be concluded that the level of
Employee Engagement is considerably high in SPIC.  But few
suggestions as I have mentioned above would make this
process lively one and it would also enhance the employee
productivity & for raising and maintaining employee
engagement lies in the hands of an organization and requires a
perfect blend of time, effort, commitment and investment to
craft a successful endeavour.
