Part A (AC3.1, 3.2, 3.3 ) (1700 words)

This report builds upon Part A in which you were asked to write an initial report against the context of the following:

 

There are many examples of organisations that clearly misunderstand the concept of employee engagement. Often levels of employee engagement are measured in a very superficial way that potentially adds very little value - for example, by the use of employee engagement surveys. Your recently appointed C.E.O, in the past has been a very strong advocate of engagement surveys. He has come to you (in HR) for advice and has asked for a proposal for how levels of employee engagement can be effectively measured. He/she has asked for an initial report which should provide explanation covering the concept and components of employee engagement and evidence showing its contribution to achieving business outcomes.

 

In this report, you are asked to consider the practical application and measurement of employee engagement.

                       

Your report should be structured under the key themes of:

• A detailed analysis that demonstrates your clear understanding around the complexities of recognising and measuring levels of employee engagement.
• A range of suggestions to make to the CEO covering alternatives to engagement surveys, identify the key benefits of these.
• Examples of organisations that have adopted effective strategies to measure levels of employee engagement, thereby collating a range of realistic best practice ideas.
