VaLUENTiS continues to support those
organisations and HR functions who wish
  to push the boundaries on employee
      engagement and organisation
           performance……….
And so let me begin…
A long time ago in a far, far away place we
         started with the question:
If employee engagement was the answer,
        what was the question?
And, what constituted employee
engagement and how did it impact on
          performance?
Which led us to evaluating much empirical
     research, and, finally to this…
The concept of Employee Engagement:
      A synthesis of antecedent theories and empirical evidence with human capital
    management practice related to organisation performance – 100 years in the making

performance.”

  “If employee engagement was the
    answer, …………………………......?”
Observation 101

Absenteeism, turnover, ill-discipline, manager
resistance, communication and/or trust issues
etc are all, to a great degree, manifestations
of poor employee engagement in some
form.

“Many case studies and indeed academic comment, however,
seem to ignore this fact. Thus, we’re seemingly praising ourselves
for putting a fire out – the very one we started as an
organisation! What happened to the ‘Why’ in the first instance?

As an industry practitioner question - What’s going on here?”

                                  • Too few involved in the ‘understanding process’

Employee Engagement Definition
       One that provides the basis of a measurable construct
         (and simplified from the overall EE complexity):




“Employee engagement is an ‘outcome-
based’ concept*. It is the term used to
describe the degree to which employees
can be ascribed as ‘aligned’ and ‘committed’
to an organisation such that they are at
their most productive.”

*Consistent   with   Kahn’s   original paper; employee
engagement as a concept but with a more performance-
oriented and dimensional construct.                                        78

What got us here/Getting us there…7


HR functions have to embrace the fact
that the de facto ‘reason for being’ is to
be instrumental in optimising employee
engagement within their organisation.

“It’s no good talking about recruitment or talent
management or any other HR processes for that matter if
employee engagement is not embedded as core…

…Impaired engagement means individual effort and talent
is just wasted. So therefore, what is the point of it not
being de facto?”                                             10

  • 4. NOTE: Slides [4 to 52] on auto presentation to music introduction.
  • 6. 2013 sees VaLUENTiS celebrate its tenth year….
  • 7. Some notable achievements… First British firm to introduce Employee Engagement model (known as the ‘5D’) First to introduce standard ‘employee engagement surveys’ as opposed to ‘generic’ employee surveys First to publish live client HR scorecard linking with employee engagement First to introduce ‘Qual-Quant’ people management evaluation tool (‘Management Pathfinder’) First to introduce global value-based HR function (VB-HR™) profiler First to publish global Human Capital Reporting Standards (GHCRS2006) including the ‘PeopleFlow’, ‘HC Operating’ and ‘HC Productivity’ template statements… Globally, first to set-up dedicated, practitioner-based Business School on Human Capital Management and introduce ‘M. Sc. in Human Capital Management’ First School to offer Masters qualification with CMAS® technology (‘non-essay’ based) and for less than £1000 HCMI first to offer membership by association not subscription…… 7
  • 8. VaLUENTiS continues to support those organisations and HR functions who wish to push the boundaries on employee engagement and organisation performance……….
  • 9. And so let me begin…
  • 10. A long time ago in a far, far away place we started with the question:
  • 11. If employee engagement was the answer, what was the question?
  • 12. And, what constituted employee engagement and how did it impact on performance?
  • 13. Which led us to evaluating much empirical research, and, finally to this…
  • 14. The concept of Employee Engagement: A synthesis of antecedent theories and empirical evidence with human capital management practice related to organisation performance – 100 years in the making •Leadership theory •Decision-making theory •Organisational ‘fit’ theory •Conflict theory •Organisation performance & measurement* •Commitment theory •Trust theory •High performance work systems •Goal setting and task theory •Teams theory •Group theory Human Capital Management practice/systems: •Expectancy theory •Talent management •Equity (justice) theory •Performance management •Motivation theory •Reward & recognition •Job satisfaction •Employer brand Individual Immediate Wider Organisation •Human capital retention •Needs theory Team Group •Resourcing & selection •Trait theory •Social cognitive/ •Training & Development self efficacy theory •Workforce diversity •Psychological contract •Leadership •Organisation Citizenship Behaviour •Organisation design •Taylor - Scientific management •Emotional Intelligence •Organisation communication •Munsterberg - Industrial psychology •Behaviourism •Organisation culture •Fayol - Principles of management •Cognitive dissonance •Follett - Management relations/integration •Learning theory •Mayo/Hawthorne studies •Wellbeing/Burnout •Lewin (MIT) - group dynamics/behaviour •Other I/O psychology •Likert – Management system/measurement scale contributions •Tavistock – Socio-technical systems •McGregor Theory X/Y •Hertzberg – Two factor theory •Drucker – Practice of management Source: The antecedents of Employee Engagement, Nicholas J Higgins - VaLUENTiS technical paper 2003 •Kahn – Personal engagement
  • 15. But organisations needed something to use practically…
  • 16. That led to the 5D construct…
  • 17. Five domains… Performance link Line of sight Reward (equity) Operating culture Work Development environment Plus performance
  • 18. Which used seven core theories as its root structure…
  • 19. VaLUENTiS 5D Employee Engagement: Core empirical theories that combine to form the root structure of the VaLUENTiS model •Leadership theory •Decision-making theory •Organisational ‘fit’ theory •Conflict theory •Organisation performance & measurement* •Commitment theory •Trust theory •High performance work systems •Goal setting and task theory •Teams theory •Group theory Human Capital Management practice/systems: •Expectancy theory •Talent management •Equity (justice) theory •Performance management •Motivation theory •Reward & recognition •Job satisfaction •Employer brand Individual Immediate Wider Organisation •Human capital retention •Needs theory Team Group •Resourcing & selection •Trait theory •Social cognitive/ •Training & Development self efficacy theory •Workforce diversity •Psychological contract •Leadership •Organisation Citizenship Behaviour •Organisation design •Taylor - Scientific management •Emotional Intelligence •Organisation communication •Munsterberg - Industrial psychology •Behaviourism •Organisation culture •Fayol - Principles of management •Cognitive dissonance •Follett - Management relations/integration •Learning theory •Mayo/Hawthorne studies •Wellbeing/Burnout •Lewin (MIT) - group dynamics/behaviour •Other I/O psychology •Likert – Management system/measurement scale contributions •Tavistock – Socio-technical systems •McGregor Theory X/Y “But all the others have a part to play…” •Hertzberg – Two factor theory •Drucker – Practice of management Source: The antecedents of Employee Engagement, Nicholas J Higgins - VaLUENTiS technical paper 2003 •Kahn – Personal engagement
  • 20. Over time working with clients, we noticed that organisations needed to focus on six areas to sustain successful employee engagement…
  • 21. Known as the ‘Six Pillars’… Grounded understanding of Employee Engagement Working definition of Employee Engagement Measurement wisdom Actioning infrastructure EE PLAYBOOK Dynamic EE-Performance ‘playbook’ DELETE Competent leadership/management
  • 22. Initial research and observation revealed essentially four types of organisation…
  • 23. Organisations and employee engagement: The ‘4-ball’ practice model ‘We don’t...’ ‘It’s all about PR…’ Play down Play act ‘At least we audit/ benchmark...’ Play safe ‘We do it…’ Play make The four progressive states of employee engagement embeddedness in organisations

It is the term used to describe the degree to which employees can be ascribed as ‘aligned’ and ‘committed’ to an organisation such that they are at their most productive.” VaLUENTiS/ISHCM 2005 *Consistent with Kahn’s original paper; employee engagement as a concept but with a more performance- oriented and dimensional construct. 78
