How to Measure Employment Engagement Strategies
Implementing employment engagement strategies is an important step for any business. However, simply setting the wheels in motion is not enough. Proper employment engagement strategies include plenty of reflection, review, and revision. In other words, it’s crucial to measure the effects of your employment engagement approach, evaluating what’s working and what’s not, appraising your progress against key benchmarks, and maintaining an outlook of continuous improvement.
For all of that, measuring the effectiveness of employment engagement strategies can be challenging. Imagine this scenario. You pull an employee into your office and ask them how much they enjoy their job, on a scale of one to 10. Your employee says eight. That sounds pretty good, but what does it really mean? Is an eight good, great, or outstanding? Does it put your employee above or below the company average? If you ask the same employee again tomorrow, will it still be an eight? Or is that score highly conditional?
My point in raising these questions is simple: Engagement is difficult to quantify and challenging to formally assess. With that said, there are some ways you can put your finger on the pulse and see what kind of progress your employment engagement strategies are making. Let me share a few ideas.
