Engaged employees are ones that are deeply involved with the organization, truly care
about what they’re doing and trying to achieve and they’re the ones who participate.
Employee engagement give higher results that is it increases customer metrics, reduces
probability of turnover, Increases success rate in productivity, increase profitability and increases
success rate on safety.
The important part of measuring engagement is analyzing its dynamic, by analyzing
how engagement changes over time, a manager can suggest improvements in behaviors’ and
processes that would contribute to increase performance.
• Measuring process undertaken in this report:
Engagement index in this report is calculated by computing 3 numbers. These numbers
are 1) percent engages, 2) percent responsive to engagement, and 3) percent disengaged.
In this report I have considered a psychometric response scale in which responders
specify their level of agreement to a statement typically in five points: (1) Strongly disagree; (2)
Disagree; (3) Neutral; (4) Agree; (5) Strongly agree.

• Ways to improve employee engagement:
1) Educating managers
- How they can better assist employees in effective collaboration
with this peers and organization as a whole.
2) Providing feedback on timely basis
3) New technologies can be used for the improvement of engagement
- Smart phone for email and messaging systems increase
engagement
- Online collaboration
- Allow interaction with mobile and web application
4) Process gamification
- Include some kind of competition, collecting reward points
from fellow employees for assisting them.
- Gamification is not about just games and fun, its about
understanding the compelling aspects of games that engage
people and applying them to something practical.
5) Non-monetary motivation also improves the same so company should
think of that aspect as well.
