Engagement Survey
Engagement surveys take an “I” perspective. Engagement measures an individual employee’s emotional and intellectual connection and commitment to the company. They target employees’ feelings about their day-to-day work experience, their managers, and leadership. Engaged employees use greater discretionary effort in all they do. They are more productive, motivated, innovative, and creative, and they take more ownership of results. Download this short example of an engagement survey.
