Yes, leadership is about vision. But leadership is equally about creating a climate where the truth is heardand the brutal facts confronted. There is a huge difference betweenthe opportunity to “have your say”and the opportunity to be heard.The good to great leadersunderstood this distinction, creating a culture wherein people had a tremendous opportunity to be heard, ultimately for the truth to be heard.
– Jim Collins “Good to Great”

2. Making the employees aware of the findings and establishing action plans to continue the learning and application of the survey results is critical.
3. Implement methods to increase employee engagement.
28
Measurement Costs
• The costs associated with conducting the survey are the following:
– Number of employees involved in the survey Hourly / salary– Hours/minutes – Amount of time to work on the project– Overhead costs and supplies and material
Formula:Salary X hours worked + overhead + supplies
= Costs to conduct survey

Things to Remember
1. Gaining high levels of participation in the survey requires your employees to trust that their responses will be confidential & of value.
2. Letting employees know how the survey will be designed & used, and how they will be protected from any possible punishment is critical.

Engagement
32 32
Job engagement is a characteristicwhere an individual approaches his orher work with enthusiasm, energy,passion, focus, and commitment suchthat the person is entirely present inhis/her work and is able to bring his orher full potential to the work effort.
What is Engagement?
33 33
Satisfied Vs. Engaged
• Being satisfied with your job doesn’t meanthat you’re engaged with it (you can be happyat work but do a poor job of it!)
• If you’re engaged with your work you will notonly be more satisfied with it, but you will alsobe more productive, create higher qualityresults, and demonstrate better customerservice

Satisfaction Dimensions• My workload is about right.• I like the people I work with.• I have the tools that I need to do
my job well.• I receive the skill and knowledge
training that I need to do my jobwell.
Engagement Dimensions• I feel energized by the work I do• My co-workers and I help each other out
when the pressure is on• Our company vision and mission is
clear to me• I feel responsible for my own success

Examples…

1. Engaged • Employees work with passion & feel profound connection to their
company. They drive innovation and move the organization forward
2. Not-engaged• Employees are essentially checked out. They are sleepwalking through their
workday, putting time-but not energy or passion- into their work. They are satisfied about the organization, but would the organization be satisfied about them?
3. Actively Disengaged• Employees are not just unhappy at work, they are busy acting out their
unhappiness. Everyday, these workers undermine what engaged coworkers accomplish
The Three Types Of Employees
Each organization has all three types. The task is to keep the engaged, move the not-engaged to be engaged & eliminate the disengaged
