How To Calculate Employee Engagement Activities

Measuring the Effectiveness of Employee Engagement Activities

We are an Automotive MNC with five plants in India. All HR Managers at each location have a yearly calendar for Employee Engagement and Organizational Development activities. This includes small activities such as celebrating birthday parties and events like "Coffee With MD."

I am looking to calculate the effectiveness of the employee engagement activities that we are conducting. How can I measure this? Is using a questionnaire (with ratings from 1 to 5, for example) the only option? Are there other ways to assess the success of these activities? Please help.

Regards,
Shaunak

I have been providing responses on the subject of employee engagement for a considerable period. You may refer to the following links for my previous replies:

Employee engagement cannot be measured directly. However, it can be gauged through the following indicators:

a) Number of suggestions received per employee per year
b) Rate of employee attrition
c) Number of times employees volunteered to take up new activities
d) Overall culture of teamwork in the company

Hi,

How to measure culture, teamwork, and bring in a number? Employee engagement is high when activities turn into celebrations. In organizations, when even a small activity is perceived as a celebration by the recipient, it scores high. This is a perception index, not a performance index.

Hi All,

I would like to seek advice from senior professionals on modifying employee engagement activities in a software development and IT consulting company. I recently joined as an HR in this IT company and aim to create new engagement activities that can enhance the organization's productivity. I am looking for innovative ideas that will contribute to the development of the organization.

Please suggest some activities...

Thanks,
HR Team

Hi Dinesh, It is really appreciable that you are considering modifications to the current Employee Engagement Activities to improve employee productivity. If you search a bit on Google, you may find lots of creative activities companies are trying these days, such as Treasure Hunts, sports events, annual days, and company days (where employees participate in activities like singing, dancing, and playing instruments), among many others.

Gathering Employee Feedback

However, it is advisable for you to first understand the Employee Engagement Feedback from employees before you joined the organization. A quick research can help you gather this data. The survey data obtained will be much more helpful in figuring out what employees need. Without knowing employee feedback, it might not bring the desired results.

Measuring Employee Engagement

The most common way to measure engagement is using surveys, but that's not all you should be using. Surveys are only one part of the process and only one way of measuring. Employee engagement is a complex issue that requires effort from everyone in the organization. Surveys, no matter how frequent, simply aren't enough. A software like Officevibe's employee engagement platform can help you keep a constant pulse on your team's engagement.

Ways to Measure Employee Engagement Regularly

1. Pulse Surveys
2. One-On-Ones
3. Stay/Exit Interviews
4. Employee Net Promoter Score
