C.RELEVANCE OF THE STUDYEmployee engagement is a vast construct that touches almost all parts of human
resource management facets we know hitherto. If every part of human resources is notaddressed in appropriate manner, employees fail to fully engage themselves in their job
in the response to such kind of mismanagement. The construct employee engagement is
built on the foundation of earlier concepts like job satisfaction, employee commitment
and Organizational citizenship behavior. Though it is related to and encompasses these
concepts, employee engagement is broader in scope. Employee engagement is stronger
predictor of positive organizational performance clearly showing the two-way
relationship between employer and employee compared to the three earlier constructs:
job satisfaction, employee commitment and organizational citizenship behavior.
Engaged employees are emotionally attached to their organization and highly involved
in their job with a great enthusiasm for the success of their employer, going extra mile
beyond the employment contractual agreement
This study aims at understanding the effectiveness of employee engagement at Hilton,
Chennai. It also looks into factors like Senior Management Support, Employee
Supervisor Relationship, Work Stress, Work Life Balance and Workplace expectations
of employees.

D.LITERATURE REVIEWRecent researches also indicate that Employee commitment and OCB are important
parts and predictors of employee engagement in that commitment is conceptualized aspositive attachment and willingness to exert energy for success of the organization,
feeling proud of being a member of that organization and identifying oneself with it and
OCB is a behaviour observed within the work context that demonstrates itself through
taking innovative initiatives proactively seeking opportunities to contribute ones best
and going extra mile beyond employment contract. However, these constructs constitute
the bigger construct employee engagement and they cannot independently act as a
replacement for engagement
Many researchers have tried to identify factors leading to employee engagement and
developed models to draw implications for managers. Their diagnosis aims to determine
the drivers that will increase employee engagement level. Most drivers that are found to
lead to employee engagement are non-financial in their nature. Therefore, any
organization who has committed leadership can achieve the desired level of engagement
with less cost of doing it. This does not mean that managers should ignore the financial
aspect of their employees. In fact, performance should be linked with reward.
Nevertheless, this is simply to repeat the old saying of Human Relations
Movement which goes as social being, human resource is not motivated by money
alone. A companys pay should at least be comparable to the market average.
However, bringing pay and benefits package up to market levels, which is a sensible
first step, will not take a company very far- they are like tickets to the ballpark, -they
can get the company into the game, but cant help it win.
As the best resources to any organization is always its human resources, the
attainment of an workplace with high caliber employees are the key to success & the
way to set competitive advantage in the global scenario. A well functioning
organization is the product of its healthy, committed and motivated employees, who
can be termed as engaged employees. Engagement takes place when employees are
committed to their job. They are interested and indeed excited about what they do. It
involves loyalty, faith and pride in the organization, a willingness to advocate for his
organization and a sense of personal responsibility. Global economy has experienced
significant shifts in the recent past which have accelerated the need for
organizations to find innovative ways to address new technological,
demographic and marketplace realities. These shifts made the organizations to

reevaluate costs associated with talent. High workforce performance and organizational
success must be maintained along with changes in strategies. Research has consistently
shown that employee engagement is powerfully linked to a range of business success
factors such as:
1. Employee performance/efficiency
2. Productivity
3. Safety
4. Attendance and retention
5. Customer service and satisfaction
6. Customer loyalty and retention
7. Profitability
During economic down turn, many organizations focused less on how to manage their
talent and engage their employees, instead focusing on how to reduce costs by cutting
salaries, bonuses, rewards and development costs. Some shortsighted leaders may eventhink that employee engagement no longer matters because their employees have fewer
options and will stay because of their need for job security.
However, smart leaders realize that while they may need to find short-term solutions to cut
costs, they must also identify longer-term talent management strategies to remain viable.
a. Evolution of Employee EngagementEmployee engagement is derived from early studies in the 1920s on morale or a
groups willingness to accomplish organizational objectives. The concept was matured by US
Army researchers during World War II to predict unity of effort and attitudinal battle
readiness before a strike. Again, post war mass production society needed unity of effort in
execution for speed & quality, where morale was considered to be the most important
indicator. In the modern day perspective with the advent of knowledge worker, stress was
given on individual talent management. Thus a term was required to describe an individuals
emotional attachment to the organization, to his fellow colleagues and to the job. Thus came
the term employee engagement, which is an individual emotional phenomenon whereas
morale is a group emotional phenomenon.

b. Influence Of Corporate Culture On Employee EngagementDue to shift of world economy from industrial to knowledge based one, employees are being
valued for not only what they produce but also for what they know. Having a high performing
business culture is a competitive advantage for any organization today. Every employee either
makes the culture stronger or weakens it. In the mid 1990s, it was discovered that no
organizationlarge or smallhas a single culture, rather it has many cultures as it has many
functions, managers or supervisors. Employers have understood that they have little control
over the culture that exists. That does not mean that they are able to find the best managers
and supervisors. Culture cannot be inculcated through vision & mission statement. Once an
organization achieves its desired culture, the employees whose attitude & behavior align withthe desired culture will be engaged and those who do not fit into it leave on their own or they
are asked to leave because of culture push. The goal of every organization should be targeting
the right employees Only focusing on employee engagement often may miss this point.
Employee engagement may reduce at the time of culture change, which is acceptable as the
engagement score becomes high for the right group of employees afterwards.
c. Aspects of Employee EngagementGlobal studies suggest that there are three basic aspects of employee
engagement:
The employees and their own unique psychological make-up andexperience.
The employers and their ability to create the conditions thatpromote employee engagement.
Interaction between employees at all levelsd. Key Drivers of Employee Engagement
In 2006, The Conference Board published an article Employee Engagement A review
of current research and its implicationon the basis of 12 major studies conducted by research
firms such as Gallup, Towers Perrin, Blessing White, The Corporate Leadership Council and
others. It came out that 4 of the studies mentioned 8 key drivers of employee engagement out
of a total of 26 key drivers collectively. These are:
(i) Trust & integritymanagers should communicate well and go by their words.(ii) Nature of the job employees should find their job challenging enough to motivate

themselves.
(iii) Line of sight between employee performance and company performance employeeshould have clear understanding as to how they contribute to the companys
performance.
(iv) Career growth opportunitiesemployees should have clear career path and growth.(v) Pride about the company employees should feel esteemed by being associated with
the organization.
(vi) Coworkers / team members relationship with colleagues significantly increaseemployee engagement level.
(vii) Employee development the organization should take necessary steps for developingthe knowledge, skills and attitude of the employees.
(viii) Relationship with manager the employee should be comfortable with his managerand value the relationship.
There are few more drivers which contribute in increasing employee engagement such as
A culture of respect where good job is appreciated Feedback, counseling and mentoring Fair reward, recognition and incentive scheme Effective leadership Clear job expectations Adequate tools to perform work responsibilities Motivation
e. Increasing employee engagementAccording to various studies, organizations, that give emphasis on employee
engagement, consider the following factors to be important in increasing employee
engagement.
Culture: It basically encompasses various factors such as leadership style,vision, mission, values, effective communications, strategic plan, HR policies &
practices etc. Corporate culture helps an organization to connect with people, gives
employees the opportunities to ideate and experience, develops employees for
leadership roles and helps them grow with the organization.
Continuous Reinforcement of Employee Focused Policies: Continuousreinforcement exists when proemployee HR policies are framed by the organization

and top management provides budgets and resources so that the employees can
accomplish their tasks.
Meaningful Metrics: An organizations performance is dependent majorly on itsemployees. Hence, it is important to decide on measurement criterion for the factors
that affect performance of an organization. This drives people focus in an
organization.
Organizational Performance: It leads to high levels of trust, pride,sat isfact ion , success and of course fun at work place.
Increased Job Involvement And Job Satisfaction: A clear understanding of jobrole & work role expectations and opportunities to excel, recognition of good work,
opportunities to develop skills and opportunities for learning & growth help to
increase job engagement.
Encouraging Teamwork: Teamwork is the key to organizational success. Toincrease team engagement, the team members should be allowed to interact
frequently and consistently so that longer term relationships are developed including
trust, co operation and reliance on each other.
Handling Employees Mental & Physical Health and Morale: Reports suggestthat lifestyle issues such as smoking, poor diet, obesity, elevated blood pressure and
stress are most likely to reduce an individuals capacity. Companies must invest in
the well being of their employee such as employee health priorities.

another common practice across industry as a tool of engagement.
g. Impact Of Employee EngagementIn the Gallup Study nine performance outcomes were studied: Customer loyalty/engagement,
profitability, productivity, turnover, safety incidents, shrinkage, absenteeism, patient safety
incidents and quality (defects). Employee engagement is related to each of the nine
performance outcome studied. Results show consistent correlation across different
organizations. The correlation between employee engagement and composite
performance found to be 0.48. Findings showed corre la tions between job satisfaction
and organizational commitment translate into lower turnover. Thus higher levels of employee
commintment, indicate higher levels of employee engagement. According to Gallup, there are three
types of employees in an organization
1. Engaged These employees are the builders. They are eager to know the
expectations from their role so that they can meet and exceed them.
2. Not Engaged These employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals
and outcomes. They need others to drive them.
3. Actively disengaged These employees are consistently against virtual everything.
They are not just unhappy at work they show their unhappiness openly.
In world class organizations, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is: 9.57:
1. In average organizations, the ratio of engaged to actively disengaged employees is
1.83:1Studies by Gallup organizations released in 2003 show that only 29% of workers
were engaged in their work, 54 % were not engaged and 17% were actively disengaged.
Employee engagement creates greater motivation within employees for the work they do and
increases their commitment to the organization. It is about creating an enthusiasm for their
roles, their work and the organization and ensuring they are aligned with the values of the
organization, well informed and well integrated with their colleagues and the culture of the
organization.

J. CONCLUSIONCompanies with engaged employees have higher employee retention as a result of reduced
turnover and reduced intention to leave the company, productivity, profitability, growth and
customer satisfaction. On the other hand, companies with disengaged employees suffer from
waste of effort and bleed talent, earn less commitment from the employees, face increased
absenteeism and have less customer orientation, less productivity, and reduced operating
margins and net profit margins. Most researches emphasize merely the importance and
positive impacts of employee engagement on the business outcomes, failing to provide the
cost-benefit analysis for engagement decisions. As any other management decisions,
engagement decision should be evaluated in terms of both its benefits and its associated costs,
without giving greater emphasis to neither of the two, not to bias the decision makers. Thus
there is a need to study the cost aspect of engagement decisions. The remarkable fact is, the
findings of todays researches, can be used as corner stone for the building of complete
essence to the construct.
Managers should enhance two-way communication, ensure that employees have all the
resources they need to do their job, give appropriate training to increase their knowledge and
skill, establish reward mechanisms in which good job is rewarded through various financial
and non-financial incentives, build a distinctive corporate culture that encourages hard work
and keeps success stories alive, develop a strong performance management system which
holds managers and employees accountable for the behavior they bring to the workplace,
place focus on top-performing employees to reduce their turnover and maintain or increase
business performance
