\"Measuring<\/p>\n

Who said that employee engagement, happiness and satisfaction cannot be measured? We are here, to prove them wrong.<\/em><\/p>\n

When the new generation sets a trend for the old and more experienced<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies like Google, LinkedIn, Virgin and Expedia are more than just firms with innovative products and services. Over the years, these new-age firms have done something greater and better than their predecessors \u2013 they showed us how to run successful businesses while being mindful of employee needs and building a truly winning workplace. They may be new firms but they resurrected an old work philosophy \u2013 \u201cSuccess comes from within\u201d.<\/p>\n

This one mantra of these uber successful firms made them a popular destination for talent. They don\u2019t just reach out to people while hiring, people reach out to them. And sure, the fair pay is a major part of their attraction but what appeals to employees more that anything is their open work culture<\/a> \u2013 a winning work culture.<\/p>\n

Where India is and where we can get<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not very long ago, a major Indian IT firm \u2013 Infosys, which was seen more like an \u201cold dad\u201d among young IT sector aspirants, took an unusually liberal and unexpected step as it learned from other new and successful startups like Flipkart and Facebook\u2019s operations abroad and in India \u2013 it finally did away with the archaic practise of wearing strict formals to work. Their employees finally breathe easy and the move was welcomed industry wide. This also sent out a loud message to other major business houses who too are now following its footsteps.<\/p>\n

This ripple effect of the falling old dominos and the creation of new code of work ethics and culture has had a major impact on employee engagement in India. According to a latest report by Dale Carnegie Training, 46% of Indian employees now feel engaged compared to 34% of the global average.<\/p>\n

While the above numbers sure are impressive, we certainly needs to do more and quickly, given that more than half of our employees are still feeling dis-engaged.<\/p>\n

Here is a simple truth often taught by experts such as award winning author and leadership coach, Marshall Goldsmith \u2013 Engaged employees will make you money, dis-engaged employees will cost you money.<\/p>\n

Employee engagement survey templates<\/a> \u2013 measurements with meaning and insights<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most trending tools used by companies to measure employee engagement is through employee engagement survey platform<\/a> – QuestionPro\u2019s Workforce.<\/p>\n

QuestionPro\u2019s survey tools have been used across the spectrum of industries \u2013 by traditional firms like Microsoft, Deloitte and ING to new age successful startups like Myntra and Vistaprint.<\/p>\n

Workforce doesn\u2019t just allow you to conduct mere surveys on employees, it helps you address the most challenging aspect of identifying factors \u2013 the analytics. It offers a range of data-intrinsic insights such as OHI (Organization Heath Index), employee mood and morale for the day or week, the single most important factor that is affecting employees at work, comprehensive parameters to judge leadership scores and many more.<\/p>\n

Many organizations have the will to make real change that delivers a winning work culture. But because of an unclear vision of the real problems, their resources get dissipated before reaching the targets. Workforce acts as a magnifying glass under the sun \u2013 it helps you focus all your resources and time on the real problems and find workable solutions to them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
