“You can’t have a positive customer experience without a positive
employee experience." - VP, Fortune 500 Kelly Services, Inc
Why Worry About Employee Engagement?
With all the numbers and statistics that pass across executives’ desks,
it is no wonder the employee engagement score feels like one drop in
a very large ocean.
But it’s not. Employee engagement is a business measurement like no
other. ‘Engaged’ employees work harder, stay longer with their
organization and deliver better customer service. The greater the
proportion of your staff that make it into the ‘engaged’ category, the
higher your performance is likely to be on almost every count.
So, if you’d like to live in a world where more of your employees do all of these things, this
paper gives you the tools to make it happen. No matter what your legacy issues may be, or
what your employee engagement results have been in the past, it is possible to create a highly
engaged workforce quickly, easily and without disproportionate investment in time, money or
technology.
Engagement is NOT an annual survey.
Engagement is frequent, relevant and meaningful feedback and recognition. And the right tools
will deliver exactly this. There are four key reasons to get engagement right in your organization:
1. to raise productivity
2. to improve service
3. to reduce turnover, and
4. to get the most out of workers

Millennials and “NoCollar” Workers will Constitute the Majority of the
Workforce by 2015
The workforce has shifted with the majority of new hire workers being Millennials and a third of
workers being “no-collar” workers.
“No-collar” workers include contingent workers, 1099 contractors, agents, supertemps, stay at
home employees, consultants, and free agents.
The foundation of the Millennial employee mind-set is different from that of older generations.
Generation Y (and all those coming after them) have been parented and educated differently,
and the technology that may have influenced us all has fundamentally shaped who they are.
Broadly speaking, Millennials tend to value and expect:
• constant feedback
• connectivity
• self-expression
• opportunity and reward for a job well done
Millennials are unlikely to feel that long years of effort at any one company in exchange for a
series of incremental raises and promotions is pointless. To them, success is not defined by
rank or seniority, but by what matters to them personally.
Given the different expectations and motivations of the four generations that are now working
together in many organizations, a 2-D staffing model is no longer good enough. If your hiring
and management practices do not fit with the demographics and psychographics of today’s
workforce how will you compete for new talent and retain what you have already got?
The organization is now flat and social. Networks and virtual teams mean that the way we
manage work and workers has changed. Above all, management needs to be adaptable and
flexible, yet it still must be fair. To develop a truly engaged workforce that includes all
generations, organizations will need to focus on measuring performance, not hours.

• Replace manual, error-prone reporting. • Social management (via alerts and KPI
Dashboards for example) improves

People are inherently social. By redefining how we manage and by striving to better
reflect how people prefer to work in today’s information-based economy, we create synergies,
improve communication and collaboration, and eliminate waste.
Alignment of individual and team goals with corporate intent is essential to achieve
speed of execution. In doing so, activities are properly focused and the variability of operations
is continually re-aligned to the objectives of the activities. When executed properly, the
outcomes gained from this integration are increased workforce engagement, lower turn-over,
better governance of process, improved efficiency and effectiveness, better financial results,

employees, 69 percent, said they would work harder if they were better recognized, according to
the recent Workforce Mood Tracker survey.1 Also, employees have access to career
development and succession planning tools and information. A mapped out career path for
individuals creates higher engagement and a continuous cycle of self-improvement. These two
methods for creating employee engagement and increasing retention have a measurable impact
on the bottom line. “U.S. businesses lose approximately $11 billion annually due to employee
turnover…With recruiting costs running approximately 1.5 times annual salary, the ability to
engage and retain valuable employees has a significant positive impact on an organization’s
bottom line.”2
Social technology has the potential to help high performing companies re-engage their
employees. 2/3 of companies are already using a social solution, whether it is in the recruiting
process or online advertising and marketing.3 Those that apply these same strategies in-house
see the greatest rate of success. Social solutions, as part of a performance management
system, provide timely feedback, proactive management tools and better communication and
visibility. Once employees feel recognized and valued, engagement begins to climb. A recent
survey by Workforce Mood Tracker shows the importance of recognition to employees (and it
will become even more important as more Millennials enter the workforce).4
 69% of employees would work harder if they were better recognized.
 78% of U.S. workers said being recognized motivates them in their job.
 49% of employees said they would leave their current job for a company that clearly
recognized employees for their efforts and contributions.
 Among respondents who stated they plan to search for a new job this year, only 24%
are satisfied with the level of recognition they receive at work. Conversely, 63% of
employees who do not planto leave are satisfied with their level of recognition.
 65% of employees satisfied in their roles said they would also work harder if they
were better recognized at work.
 78% said being recognized motivates them in their job.

The Importance of Feedback
To help organizations align goals rapidly, engage
people and drive significantly better business outcomes
ongoing feedback from the front-line to managers is
needed. The ability to recognize valuable contribution
and provide candid and timely feedback leads to
coaching which ensures rapid alignment of activities
with goals.
Plus, continuous feedback eliminates surprises. Almost
ALL employees feel feedback is too little, too late.
