6 CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION
7 INTRODUCTION Success today requires a good bit more than good attendance. Yet, multiple studies in different countries and across industries show that employees who are passionate about their jobs and the organizations in which they work are in the minority. Some of the Survey conducted by few organization revealed that approximately 19% of the employees are highly engaged The Corporate Executive Board, looking at levels of engagement across 50,000 employees around the world, placed only 11 percent in what they dubbed “true believer” category.1 Towers Perrin’s recent “Talent Report” is slightly more optimistic, finding just 17 percent of the 35,000 employees surveyed to be highly engaged. 40 to 70 percent of employees can be classified as neutral, middle of the road, or agnostic. Worse yet, an alarming 10 to 20 percent of employees are actively “disengaged”—just putting in their time or, worse yet, undermining or badmouthing their organizations and bosses. The economic impact of low engagement can be staggering. The global survey shows that 34 per cent of the employees in India are fully engaged and 13 per cent disengaged. As many as 29 percent are ‘almost engaged’. What makes these numbers especially discouraging is that, supposedly, we have evolved from the dark ages of “personnel management.” On one hand, for the past two decades we have been trying to realize the benefits of empowerment, teamwork, recognition, people development, performance management, and new leadership styles. Evidently, there is a big difference between putting in place initiatives that have the overall goal of increasing employee engagement and truly seeing the payoffs. And, on the other hand, one might easily attribute
8 low engagement to persistent downsizing, which leads to an erosion of loyalty and commitment. Definition of Employee Engagement Employee engagement can be defined as an employee putting forth extra discretionary effort, as well as the likelihood of the employee being loyal and remaining with the organization over the long haul. Research shows that engaged employees: perform better, put in extra efforts to help get the job done, show a strong level of commitment to the organization, and are more motivated and optimistic about their work goals. Employers with engaged employees tend to experience low employee turnover and more impressive business outcomes. Employee engagement is more than just the current HR 'buzzword'; it is essential. In order for organizations to meet and surpass organizational objectives, employees must be engaged. Research has proven that wholly engaged employees exhibit, Higher self-motivation. Confidence to express new ideas. Higher productivity. Higher levels of customer approval and service quality. Reliability. Organizational loyalty; less employee turnover. Lower absenteeism.
9 Need of Employee Engagement The general principles of employee engagement have been around for decades. During the past five years, though, there has been a surge in the popularity of employee engagement. There are four primary drivers. 1. People have become the primary source of competitive advantage. The Brookings Institute (2003) examined the primary source of market value in today’s organizations and how it has changed over time. In 1982, 62 percent of an organization’s market value came from tangible assets and 38 percent from intangible assets. Tangible assets include things like machinery, products, facilities, etc. Intangible assets, on the other hand, include factors such as brand, intellectual property, and, most important, the quality of the workforce. By 2002, 20 years later, the source of value had almost totally flipped. Almost 80 percent of market value today comes from the intangible with a scant 20 percent coming from tangible assets. As we all have heard before, products can easily be copied, a technological edge can prove fleeting, and more facilities can be built, but the quality of an organization’s talent, its passion and commitment, is nearly impossible to replicate. Engagement is the fuel that drives the value of intangible assets. 2. Retention and the war for talent. The landmark 1998 McKinsey study, The War for Talent, was among the first to talk about the potential for workforce shortages due to the aging population. The study’s authors called upon organizations to take more seriously their efforts to attract and retain talent, to assure that they would be able to survive and thrive in the future. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the slump in the global economy quickly took the spotlight off of the anticipated talent shortage. And some predict that a portion of today’s aging workers will delay their retirements out of necessity,
10 attenuating the expected talent shortage. Since 2003 the picture is once again changing, albeit not as quickly as expected. For example, the Society for Human Resources Management reported that 48 percent of the employees it polled are actively seeking new jobs. Additionally, the workforce is getting older, with many of the baby boomers hitting 60 in 2006 and ready to retire. Over and above the workforce cost of increased retirements, companies are beginning to take heed of the enormous financial costs of turnover and increasingly viewing employee engagement as an imperative for keeping their key employees— and attracting new ones—as the war for talent heats up once again. 3. Popular appeal. Remember the reengineering wave? Even those who used it as more than just a guise for massive layoffs found it painful. Six Sigma implementations are invaluable to business performance, but most companies are finding them too complex to implement well. Engagement is a different matter altogether. While it still takes patience to implement, engagement gets to the “hard stuff” by focusing on the “softer stuff.” As one manager said: “It’s about appealing to the head and the heart.” Engagement is about creating passion, it’s about focusing on what people do well, and it’s about development and recognition. Some have called employee engagement a form of positive psychology which, on the whole, is an easy pill for organizations and their employees to swallow. 4. Overwhelming impact. The human resources function has been under pressure for decades to prove that it makes a difference. While CEOs may espouse the importance of their workforces in their annual reports, when times get tough, HR is among the first to get the budget axe. Why? A lack of convincing evidence on the value of HR initiatives. HR professionals are scrambling, according to a recent Conference Board report, to prove that their activities and investments are both efficient and positively influential to
11 business strategy. The positive relationship between engagement and performance (documented in hundreds of studies, with the evidence mounting every day) provides a way for HR to prove its contribution. It’s a fact: The higher the level of engagement, the higher the performance of the business. The research is not inconclusive, not limited to one country or industry, and not contained to a few hundred people—it’s overwhelming. How to Make Employees Engage Growth and development - An exciting position, with plenty of opportunity for growth, learning, and advancement for employees is always helpful in retaining employees. Support and recognition - Giving those rewards and recognition. In many instances, employee retention starts just as soon as an employee is hired. If a company sees an unusual amount of potential in a new hire, management could make them feel appreciated right off the bat. In a way, this practice can be considered a combination of recruitment and retention tools. Employee Participation in decision making is also a very effective engagement activity in the organization. Aligning effort with strategy—Engagement begins with employees’ clear understanding of what they should be doing on the job. Each employee needs a solid job description and a clear set of performance expectations. Empowerment—Empowerment is a feeling of job ownership and commitment brought about through the ability to make decisions, be responsible, be measured by results, and be recognized as a thoughtful,
12 contributing human being rather than a pair of hands doing what others say. Teamwork and Collaboration - In the context of engagement, teamwork and collaboration require good relationships both within the work group and across work groups. Many organizations have strong teams with members who work well with each other. The Benefits of Employee Engagement The power of employee engagement is that it is closely connected to business results. When employees work in an environment in which they can focus their attention on their work and have a drive to do their best, organizations experience higher levels of productivity and profitability. Engaged employees look for better ways to do their work, spend less time on wasted activities, and make effective use of resources. In the end, companies deliver better products or services and have more resources left to invest in further improvements. Although it is an important consideration, high financial compensation is not the only driver of increased employee retention. As addressed previously, employees decide to stay with organizations for other reasons, such as growth and development opportunities, strong leadership, and meaningful work. Turnover costs organizations millions of dollars each year, and engagement has a proven relationship to employee retention. No one likes going into a store where the sales clerks are sullen, absent, or uncooperative. It’s easy to see why customers notice engaged employees and are more satisfied and willing to purchase again. E.g., Tom Labadie, director of training and development at CompUSA states, “When you walk into a store with high engagement scores, you can sense the positive tone. Employees whistle and smile, they approach
13 customers, and the store gives off that elusive approachable feeling that customers appreciate.” Organizations with engaged employees have more satisfied customers, but it’s not just because employees have better interactions with customers. Engaged employees are more likely to improve other critical factors affecting customer satisfaction, such as responsiveness, product quality, thought leadership, innovation, etc. Finally, higher engagement translates into higher and faster revenue growth. Engaged employees are more innovative and place more emphasis on meeting customer needs. The “what can I do better or differently” attitude of engaged employees versus the “it’s not in my job description” attitude of the unengaged simply leads to better financial performance. ASSESSING ENGAGEMENT Over the past eight years, The Gallup Organization has been conducting exhaustive studies of employee engagement to try and answer these fundamental questions. One of a handful of engagement evangelists, Gallup has promoted the value of measuring employee engagement through a series of books, seminars and programmers; it has also taken the lead in identifying and managing the factors that impact engagement levels. In order to rate the engagement of a workforce, first Gallup assesses employees to determine whether they are engaged, not engaged or actively disengaged. Engaged employees: are the stars in a company. Passionate about what they do, they feel a strong connection to their company and perform at high levels every day while looking for ways to improve themselves and the company as a whole. Not engaged employees, according to Gallup, are the company zombies who show up every day and put in just enough effort to meet the basic requirements
14 of their jobs. Without passion or innovation, these employees neither commit to the company’s direction, nor do they work against it. Actively disengaged employees are those who present a big problem for businesses. Negative by nature, these people are unhappy in their work and they compound their lack of productivity by sharing this unhappiness with those around them. They are the proverbial bad apples who revel in their discontent while undermining the accomplishments of others; as a result, not only do they achieve little themselves, they also prevent others from being productive too. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT Over the past decade, the way in which people are managed and developed at work has come to be recognized as one of the primary factors in achieving improvement in organizational performance. This is reflected by popular idioms such as “people are our most important assets”. Back in the good old days of corporate world, things were pretty simple. Companies put people on career tracks straight out of college; they gave employees a job for life and waved them goodbye with a gold watch at retirement. The promise of the stable life as a company employee kept both morale and productivity high. Then things changed. Competition increased, margins shrank and shareholders got more demanding. Suddenly, company staff were finding the very job security they’d counted on was disappearing, and at speed. This upheaval meant companies had to find new ways to motivate their employees in order to make them more productive since, without stability, employees were looking for something else from their employers. And thus, Engagement was born.
15 In itself, engagement isn’t really a new idea; owners and managers have been talking about engagement, in one form or another, for centuries… they just used different words to express it. In former times, engagement focused more on productivity and achieving results through threat of punishment or by means of reward. But common sense - and good communication - eventually won out and, today, organizations everywhere are spending serious money on all forms of employee engagement. Boiled down, it simply means ‘developing a happy and loyal workforce’. Enlightened managers now realize that any company as a whole will benefit when its employees know what’s going on and they feel part of the team. The tricky part is in defining what makes a workforce happy, and in understanding how this good will translates into company success. From the extant literature review, it is acknowledged that successful organizations share a fundamental philosophy of valuing and investing in their employees. In fact many research studies have described human resource management as a means of achieving competitive advantage. Consistent with this it is an equally important issue for the organization to retain their critical (core) employees. Most organization today continues to struggle with retention because they are relying on salary increases and bonuses to prevent turnover. Essentially more organizations are now realizing that retention is a strategic issue and continues to be a competitive advantage. The term “engagement” stems from the work of Kahn (1990) who distinguished between being engaged and disengaged at work. Putting the humanistic factors together, Beer, Specter, Lawrence, Quinn-Mills and Walton (1984) created the ‘Harvard Business School’ model of HRM which focused on people in an organization to be the key resource. In light of such critical emphasis being placed on human capital, Paula Katter has aptly noted, “Engagement is all about creating a culture where people do not feel misused, overused, underused or abused.”
16 At a very basic level, employee engagement draws from the tenets of the ‘Hierarchy of Needs’ as conceptualized by Maslow, the highest stage of which is self-actualization; the pinnacle of an individual’s fulfillment of talent and potential. This theory of ‘higher order needs’ was largely overlooked in the heydays of scientific ‘assembly line’ manufacturing. EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT IN INDIA The recent Work Asia research study by Watson Wyatt Worldwide indicates that India has the highest percentage of highly engaged workers at 78% in Asia as compared to Japan, which has the lowest employee engagement level at 39%. Head to head with China, the engagement level of the Indian worker is 20% more than his Chinese counterpart. These are all encouraging signs - but the challenges and the opportunities ahead are manifold. The imminent US slowdown, shrinking of talent pool, slowdown in hiring, larger employee expectations are all challenges for internal communicators to cope with. The Gallup Organization describes employee engagement as the "the involvement with and enthusiasm for work". The challenges faced by organizations in India are around attrition, communication, career development and engagement while trying to keep pace with the explosive growth. Outsourcing outfits have the highest attrition rates losing staff at a rate of between 100% and 200% a year. It is widely believed that organizations spend an average of 36% of their revenues on their employees but do not have a tangible way to measure its impact. A Mercer study – ‘What’s Working’ – a series of national research on worker insights, highlights factors that make a difference to employee engagement. The survey’s 125 questions elicit views in the areas defined by Mercer’s Human Capital Strategy Model and cover training and development, work environment,
17 leadership, performance management, work/life balance, communication, compensation, benefits, and engagement. The India study throws up some fascinating directions for HR and internal communication professionals. Employee engagement is no more just about the employee’s intent to leave. The employee’s commitment to the organization and motivation to contribute to the organization’s success plays a significant role. The top three drivers in India are trust in senior management, how the organization is perceived for customer service and fair pay. Surprisingly, from an Indian context, the least valued factors in the continuum were benefits, compensation and performance management. In India, having a long-term career is considered positive and stable. Frequent job changes are viewed negatively and therefore the high scores around the commitment count are in line with the mindset. Internal communication and HR professionals need to take note of the employee’s need for giving feedback and to observe action taken from this. Employees seem to be getting very little information on the organization’s vision and future plans, a cause of concern. Other areas for action include the organization’s reputation in the market – congruent to other research in this space which believes that organization’s which are socially responsible are considered better places to work. In the talent management bracket, managers fare poorly for their involvement, understanding and support as well as for merit based appraisals. In India, with a large number of global players entering the market, the talent pool has now a plethora of choices and even these multinationals are finding it tough to retain staff. The Canadian HR Reporter writes that employees want to know where their careers are heading and that is a critical component of the
18 talent retention strategy organizations need to focus on. Softer styles of leadership have a better impact in India and China leaving organizations to develop or seek leaders who can fill this need. LITERATURE REVIEW Employee retention continues to remain a top priority at many organizations and one that companies increasingly view as a driver of business strategy. Business-critical knowledge can walk out the door when an employee leaves the company. While employee retention figures have long been used by companies as a measure of their performance in developing an effective organization, this view of employee retention is not only outdated, but these figures may not be comprehensive enough to truly determine the organization's effectiveness. The concept of employee retention is more complex than simply evaluating employee turnover from one year to the next. These figures of employee retention can be somewhat misleading — it isn't necessarily the number of employees an organization loses, it's the number of top-performing employees that leave the company that should be of concern. For example, management is one of the key reasons employees decide to stay or leave an organization. If there is high turnover among the management ranks, employees may also feel unstable in this ever-changing environment. Yet, on the other hand, it may not be the best business strategy to retain a manager that is disliked by employees. The business strategy of employee retention actually lies with employee engagement; retention is an outcome of engagement. What most organizations fail to realize is that employee engagement is the biggest retention factor they have control over. Engaged employees not only stay longer with the organization, they are more productive, more conscientious, make fewer errors, and take better care of customers. The business strategy of employee retention
19 must incorporate methods that achieve a high level of employee engagement among the organization's top performers, not necessarily the entire workforce. The Importance of Retaining Top Performers Many organizations ponder the questions, "What should the goal be for retention?" and "What is an appropriate level for employee turnover?" Yet, in asking these questions, many organizations don't realize that there are no set answers. If, for example, an organization loses five percent of its top performers every year, the results from this turnover could be potentially devastating to the company. On the other hand, if the company is losing 20 percent of its least productive employees, this could actually be very beneficial for the organization and an opportunity to increase the strength of its workforce each year. In other words, it's not just about retention anymore — it's about retaining the very best people at each level within the organization. The key to effective retention of top performers is to determine the factors that currently do, and will, keep them engaged. The Starting Point an organization must first determine who the top performers and high potentials are within their workforce. Of the many ways this can be accomplished, some include involving management at every level to create a list of those employees who are performing at levels that exceed expectations and those who exhibit the potential to become top performers, or utilizing the results from employee performance reviews to separate those who scored the highest from those who scored the lowest. This method of gaining a clear understanding of who the top performers are within an organization is called employee segmentation. Once an organization has segmented its workforce, it can then start to measure retention among its highest potential and highest rated, or most productive, employees. By viewing each segment separately, organizations are creating a more appropriate
20 benchmark to measure employee retention, i.e., is the organization retaining or losing a high percentage of its best people? Understanding Employee Engagement Employee engagement can be defined as an employee putting forth extra discretionary effort, as well as the likelihood of the employee being loyal and remaining with the organization over the long haul. Research shows that engaged employees: perform better, put in extra efforts to help get the job done, show a strong level of commitment to the organization, and are more motivated and optimistic about their work goals. Employers with engaged employees tend to experience low employee turnover and more impressive business outcomes. Employee engagement is more than just the current HR 'buzzword'; it is essential. In order for organizations to meet and surpass organizational objectives, employees must be engaged. Research has proven that wholly engaged employees exhibit, Higher self-motivation. Confidence to express new ideas. Higher productivity. Higher levels of customer approval and service quality. Reliability. Organizational loyalty; less employee turnover. Lower absenteeism. Current studies show that organizations are focusing on the meaning of employee engagement and how to make employees more engaged. Employees
21 feel engaged when they find personal meaning and motivation in their work, receive positive interpersonal support, and operate in an efficient work environment. What brought engagement to the forefront and why is everyone interested in it? Most likely, the tight economy has refocused attention on maximizing employee output and making the most of organizational resources. When organizations focus attention on their people, they are making an investment in their most important resource. You can cut all the costs you want, but if you neglect your people, cutting costs won’t make much of a difference. Engagement is all about getting employees to “give it their all.” Some of the most successful organizations are known for their unique work environments in which employees are motivated to do their very best. These great places to work have been recognized in such lists as Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For. The concept of engagement is a natural evolution of past research on high- involvement, empowerment, job motivation, organizational commitment, and trust. All of these research streams focus on the perceptions and attitudes of employees about the work environment. In some ways, there are variations on the same fundamental issue. What predicts employees “giving their all?” Obviously, all organizations want their employees to be engaged in their work.
22 Hierarchy of Engagement Employee Engagement at Each Level In addition, employee segmentation is an important method to utilize when evaluating employee engagement at each level. For instance, the factors that engage the most productive employees in an organization may not be the same as the factors that engage the least productive employees. Those employees who receive the highest rankings on their performance reviews may tend to express higher levels of job satisfaction when they are presented with challenging opportunities that allow them to grow and learn. Those that receive the lowest rankings might be more focused on issues surrounding work/life balance and job security. While some factors, such as good communication, are important among all employees, the attempt to focus on the full spectrum of factors that engage the entire workforce may cause an organization to omit some of the factors that are the most important to the company's most productive people.
23 Employee Satisfaction Does Not Equal Engagement While organizations may be aware "through the grapevine" that employees are unsatisfied, it's the reasons for the dissatisfaction that elude them. While employee satisfaction is important, it's not the end game — it is only one piece of employee engagement. Satisfaction is imperative in that, for those individuals who are top performers, satisfaction may be derived from their achievement orientation, their ambition, or their sense of responsibility. On the other hand, the attempt to satisfy an under-performer who will only be content with a lightened workload may not be a worthy cause. Again, the focus is on ensuring that those individuals who have been identified as top performers and high potentials are engaged in the organization. As stated, employee engagement incorporates employee satisfaction, but also includes the essential elements of pride, commitment and loyalty in the organization. Engaged employees aren't concerned with meeting the minimum requirements to complete a task, they are focused on what they can do to better the company. Essentially, they take ownership in the company despite whether or not they actually own a share of stock. Drivers of engagement A two-way relationship between the employer and employee The importance of the individual being able to align themselves to the products, Services and values of the organization The ability of the organization to communicate its vision, strategy, objectives and values to its staff so that they are clearly understood Management give staff sufficient ‘elbow room’ and autonomy to let them fulfill their potential
24 The employer is highly effective at engaging in two-way communication with its staff, in particular encouraging upward communication. Lastly, that management from the top to the bottom of the organization is ‘Committed leaders’ and that the key role of the immediate line Manager/supervisor is recognized as one of the most important conduits to achieving effective employee engagement. Elements of Engagement Some researchers conclude that personal impact, focused work, and interpersonal harmony comprise engagement. Each of these three components has sub-components that further define the meaning of engagement. Personal Impact-Employees feel more engaged when they are able to make a unique contribution, experience empowerment, and have opportunities for personal growth. Past research concurs that issues such as the ability to impact
25 the work environment and making meaningful choices in the workplace are critical components of employee empowerment. Some research on retaining talent found that the perception of meaningful work is one of the most influential factors determining employees’ willingness to stay with the organization. Focused Work-Employees feel more engaged when they have clear direction, performance accountability, and an efficient work environment. Aside from the personal drive and motivation to make a contribution, employees need to understand where to focus their efforts. Without a clear strategy and direction from senior leadership, employees will waste their time on the activities that do not make a difference for the organization’s success. Additionally, even when direction is in place, employees must receive feedback to ensure that they are on track and being held accountable for their progress. In particular, employees need to feel that low performance is not acceptable and that there are consequences for poor performance. Finally, employees want to work in an environment that is efficient in terms of its time, resources, and budget. Employees lose faith in the organization when they see excessive waste. For example, employees become frustrated when they are asked to operate without the necessary resources or waste time in unnecessary meetings. Interpersonal Harmony-Employees feel more engaged when they work in a safe and cooperative environment. By safety, we mean that employee trust one another and quickly resolve conflicts when they arise. Employees want to be able to rely on each other and focus their attention on the tasks that really matter. Conflict wastes time and energy and needs to be dealt with quickly. Some researchers also find that trust and interpersonal harmony is a fundamental underlying principle in the best organizations. Employees also need to cooperate to get the job done. Partnerships across departments and
26 within the work group ensure that employees stay informed and get the support they need to do their jobs. Making Use of Engagement Measurement of employee engagement can have many applications in the organization. Earlier, it is mentioned that engagement could serve as a general index of HR effectiveness in an HR scorecard. Also, engagement measures serve as an easy way to benchmark the work climate against other organizations. Other uses include: Needs Analysis-The fundamental issues measured in engagement provide a quick index of what leaders and HR need to do to make things better. In addition, items in engagement surveys tend to be very actionable. This means that leaders or others in the organization can take action that will affect the score on a single item. Evaluation-Many learning and performance interventions are designed to impact some aspect of engagement. When an engagement measure is used as a pre-implementation baseline, the impact of the intervention can be gauged by measuring post-implementation changes in engagement. Climate Survey-Some organizations like to use engagement measures as simple indexes of the workplace culture. While more extensive surveys are valuable, sometimes it’s easier to focus attention on a few simple and proven factors. Leader or Department Feedback-Depending on the demographic information collected when the engagement measure is implemented, one can create breakout reports by department or leader. This means departments and leaders can gain a better understanding of how engagement in their groups differs from
27 the rest of the organization. This information can be used to create development plans or plans for larger-scale interventions. Measuring the Impact of Employee Engagement
28 HSBC GLOBAL RESOURCING The companies try to make a match of it by positioning their organizations as a ‘fun workplace’ to engage employees. Speaking to the youth in the language they understand, companies organize ‘dress down’ days based on festival themes, distribute soft sports equipment which can be used inside the processing floor and organize regular trips to movies as well as dining out. Acknowledging that recognizing employees for a job well done is a key retention tool, HSBC Global Resourcing has regular rewards and recognition programmers where outstanding agents get to bask in the glory of their achievements. Leadership development is taken very seriously with first line managers getting to hone their skills in various tools required to lead a team successfully. Empowerment is a key ingredient in engaging employees and ensuring they stay that way. On cue almost all BPO outfits organize regular focus group discussions and interaction with the senior management to ensure everyone is heard. Internal communication channels like intranets and message boards are liberally used to reach out and branded goodies are regularly distributed to foster a sense of belonging Sun Microsystems At Sun the virtual nature is partly due to flexible working practices. While flexible working arrangements are a plus for many employees and reduces facility costs for the organization, that flexibility comes with some downsides like; isolation, loneliness and an increase in personal distractions. Isolation, especially when paired with the demands of work in an increasingly competitive environment, can wear down the sense of connection, commitment and excitement about any job. Thus a critical challenge for managers of virtual teams is how to keep remote employees engaged.
29 At Sun, the concept of employee engagement starts right from the top: o The CEO interacts with Sun employees through WSUN, a forum on Sun’s intranet. He uses this to sustain an active an ongoing dialogue on the corporate goals and direction. Through this interactive on-line resource he also solicits their feedback and opinions o Other senior management members engages with employees on technology directions through his personal blog o Business Unit Heads and Executive Vice-presidents have a target of holding six ‘town halls’ with employees every year across the globe o At the country level, Senior Management is tasked with constantly engaging employees through various forums, communication media and events to build excitement and passion including some that also reach out to the employees’ families. Standard Chartered Group They believe in the importance of building a work environment where every employee feels highly engaged to apply their individual talents to deliver sustainable business performance. They have been measuring employee engagement worldwide since 2000 with a voluntary response rate consistently over 95%. In 2007, the survey covered all 57 countries with 95% of employees participating voluntarily. This is a significant achievement and a clear indication that employees are committed to improving individual and team performance. They have a continuous rise in both the number of engaged employees and teams since the survey was introduced. We provide team-specific data to each manager, which they use to discuss and develop action plans with their teams to increase engagement

83 CONCLUSION
84 CONCLUSIONS Employee retention continues to remain a top priority at many organizations and one that companies increasingly view as a driver of business strategy. Business-critical knowledge can walk out the door when an employee leaves the company. While employee retention figures have long been used by companies as a measure of their performance in developing an effective organization, this view of employee retention is not only outdated, but these figures may not be comprehensive enough to truly determine the organization's effectiveness. The concept of employee retention is more complex than simply evaluating employee turnover from one year to the next. These figures of employee retention can be somewhat misleading — it isn't necessarily the number of employees an organization loses, it's the number of top-performing employees that leave the company that should be of concern. For example, management is one of the key reasons employees decide to stay or leave an organization. If there is high turnover among the management ranks, employees may also feel unstable in this ever-changing environment. Yet, on the other hand, it may not be the best business strategy to retain a manager that is disliked by employees. The business strategy of employee retention actually lies with employee engagement; retention is an outcome of engagement. What most organizations fail to realize is that employee engagement is the biggest retention factor they have control over. Engaged employees not only stay longer with the organization, they are more productive, more conscientious, make fewer errors, and take better care of customers. The business strategy of employee retention must incorporate methods that achieve a high level of employee engagement among the organization's top performers, not necessarily the entire workforce. If effective engagement practices are in place, the organizations can curb the growing attrition rates especially in IT and Banking sectors. Thus the research study proves the significance of engagement activities as a part of retention strategy in an organization.
85 SUGGESTIONS
86 SUGGESTIONS 1. As contrary to what managers believe that decision making is the most effective tool, the employees still prefer rewards and recognition. The Managers should focus on the rewards and recognition schemes in their organization. 2. Practically people don’t give much importance to stress management programs, work life balance and retirement plans so there is scope of improvement in this area. 3. To increase employee engagement, the organizations should : a. Provide variety: Tedious, repetitive tasks can cause burn out and boredom over time. If the job requires repetitive tasks, look for ways to introduce variety by rotating duties, areas of responsibility, delivery of service etc. b. Conduct periodic meetings with employees to communicate good news, challenges and easy-to-understand company financial information. Managers and supervisors should be comfortable communicating with their staff, and able to give and receive constructive feedback. c. Indulge in employee deployment if he feels he is not on the right job. Provide an open environment. d. Communicate openly and clearly about what's expected of employees at every level - your vision, priorities, success measures, etc. e. Get to know employees' interests, goals, stressors, etc. Show an interest in their well- being and do what it takes enable them to feel more fulfilled and better balanced in work and life. f. Celebrate individual, team and organizational successes. Catch employees doing something right, and say "Thank you." 4. As we have got a very good response from employees so the companies should have the engagement strategies to retain the employees.
