EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

It has become a truism that well-engaged staff and management are key ingredients of organisational success, alongside other givens. As such, it should be a priority for organisations to measure the degree to which their employees are both aligned with the organisation’s objectives and committed to achieving them.

Whilst the use of employee surveys is far from new, an increasing number of organisations have moved away from traditional employee ‘satisfaction’ or ‘attitude surveys’ and are utilising the more powerful construct of employee ‘engagement’, recognising its enhanced linkage with talent management as well as workplace outcomes such as productivity and performance.

We have been providing clients with a unique framework (EE5D), for nearly 20 years, that expands the concept of engagement into five key domains: Line-of-sight, Work environment, Development, Reward & recognition and Operating culture. This framework utilises external benchmarking as we have designed core standard templates for this particular purpose. Further question sets can be added for any specific customised variations and sub-domains such as health and safety, diversity, inclusion, burnout, etc.

The unique design of the VaLUENTiS engagement standard framework simplifies migration from an existing provider, in that previous survey data can be mapped against the engagement framework for retrospective benchmarking. Our database contains normative scores across sector levels which represent over 3 million employees.

Our SIX-PILLAR approach means that clients can receive an end-to-end solution, whether a baseline engagement survey or a full-blown organisation transformation. Our research on the subject of employee engagement and performance spanned 100 years and over 5,000 research papers. We have produced a number of industry reports – the latest being specific to ‘Manager Engagement’.

TALENT MANAGEMENT

We help our clients in projects from the strategic to the tactical articulating people strategy through to sourcing, attracting, rewarding and developing their employees/management to optimise performance and capitalise on the capability and latent potential of their workforce.

With our innovative online-processing based VB-HR™ solution suite, including the ground-breaking, multi-faceted Talent Management Pathfinder™, our portfolio of powerful tools and analytics includes the next generation of business evaluative and predictive techniques.

The Talent Management Pathfinder™ combines qualitative and quantitative data (‘mixed methods approach’), which is gaining increasing acknowledgement of its inherent advantage over traditional single perspectives. Thus, a new level of data relating to organisational dynamics and performance from the people perspective provides a far more insightful and detailed assessment as a subsequent basis for action or acknowledgement.

The TM Pathfinder™ model builds up a composite picture of organisation performance through a human capital lens. This includes an assessment of employee engagement, organisation engagement, and strategic human capital management drivers. Organisation engagement is a term we use to ascribe the core operating strategies and activities of everyday people management.

Through our previous work across public and private sector clients, we provide comparative performance insight and best practice features, enhanced by our VB-HR™ database that contains over 500 large public and private sector organisations. Given the richness of data, we are able to provide greater insight into the current organisation dynamics and provide advisory on how to improve aspects of organisation performance through teams linking with performance measures.

We combine organisational actioning and/or learning, underpinned by behavioural science and critical design thinking, with measurement and modelling analytics that provide benchmarking, evaluation and/or reporting, specific to the organisation.
