Please note that in order to keep employees engaged, you need to create a survey that contains a lot of questions tackling certain areas. However, you need to discuss with the management what these areas are. Below is a list of areas to be covered in the survey:

- Communication top to bottom, bottom up
- Transparency (between different levels in the organization)
- Motivation (what does the organization do to keep employees motivated and eager to work)
- Business process (flow of business process effectively and efficiently)
- Policies (flexibility and knowledge)
- Admin Services (services provided by admin to ensure employee satisfaction)
- HR Services (payment and benefits, performance appraisal, training and development)
- Organization community
- Leadership

For better data collection, please conduct this survey automatically, i.e., an e-survey which is easy to collect data and transfer it to Excel or provide a graphical representation.

For further information, please use Google.

All the best in your project.

Employee Engagement Project Overview

I had a grand project in 2E-Employee Engagement, in which I conducted a survey of MNCs, FMCG, Pharmaceuticals, and Automotive industries. 2E has a wide coverage of HR activities.

Dear Darshanjee, it's nice to get guidance and have a discussion with a person like you. I just want to know more about employee engagement. What will be the role of a junior employee like me?

Understanding Employee Engagement

According to me, 2E - "Employee Engagement: Employee engagement is an extreme state of intrinsic motivation in which the employee exerts passionate effort for the achievement of organizational goals."

If you think of yourself as an engaged employee, what other thoughts or feelings might accompany that? You are focused not only on your task but also on the task's expected outcomes and measurements. You are attempting to do the "right thing" in order to attain the goal or desired result. It probably feels good that the goal you have is the same one the employer organization desires. If you find there is an obstacle in the way of goal attainment, you know that the organization probably wants to help you overcome the obstacle. So it is "ok" to ask for help. The organization isn't expending energy to find whom to blame but rather is expending energy to help you succeed. It's a win-win situation.

An individual employee can renew his or her commitment toward becoming a more engaged performer. But it will be difficult to stay "pumped up" for any length of time if that employee notices that a high level of engagement is not prevalent around him or her.

Dear Nilimi, you as a junior employee can interact with as many employees as you can in your organization and try to find out the feedback from the manpower you have. So that you can find out whether the employees are really engaged/disengaged in the present environment, be diplomatic in sharing the company's negative points with employees as they will be more comfortable if you also share the positive points. Focus on: Communication, Family Friendliness, Cooperation, Sports and cultural activities, Employees' kids' education schemes, Birthdays celebrations. Try to find what more tasks a person can do while doing the present job; in this way, you project the job enrichment/enlargement activities.

I think this is enough for the day. Trying to find more time to help my HR community. Have a nice day.
