According to a Gallop annual report on engagement, the best predictors of employee and workgroup performance are: whether the organization addresses employee's primary needs, how workers contribute to the whole, how they are valued, whether there is organizational fit and whether they have developmental opportunities.
Trying to figure out whether your organization caters to fully engaged employees can be tough, but Gallop provides some true or false indicators to ask employees that might shed some light. The two most critical indicators are: 1) I know what is expected of me at work, and 2) I have the materials and equipment I need to do my work right. If employees answer "true" to these questions, you're on the right path.
A few other indicators are answers to these questions:
3) In the past seven days, I have received recognition or praise for good work.
4) My supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about me as a person.
5) The mission or purpose of my company make me feel my job is important.
6) In the past year, I have had opportunities at work to learn and grow.
So go out and ask employees what they think! Based on the input, you can implement changes that will build more loyal and engaged employees...and positive impact your bottom line.
