HI Dinesh,
Thank you for taking time out to read the post, though i feel that you haven't read the article posted there as the article talks about the problems that most organisation face but does not notice during the Engagement Survey.
And what should be done to avoid those mistakes and work towards achieving the maximum result of engagement activities and surveys.
While conducting one such survey in me last company i also felt, that the Management is generally not very keen to work on some of the outcomes of surveys generally they adopt the defensive mode.
Rest I will share after reading article posted by you.
Regards,
Archna

Archna,
Great question. Stephen Covey famous for his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" among others, wrote that the possible performance gain from properly managing people was 500%. My own experience in creating several fully engaged workforces bears out Covey's claim. A fully engaged workforce is highly motivated and highly committed with very high morale literally loving to come to work capable of beating out their competition handily. Fortunately, this is quite easy to accomplish if one is willing to use an autonomy and support approach to managing people rather than the traditional command and control approach.

Leadership is a science and so is engagement
