    1.1 : Background of the Study

    The basic focus of my project was on how employee engagement is antecedent of job

    involvement and what the company should actually do in order to make the employees engaged.

    This work of my also shows the Gallup 12 point questionnaire, twelve questions survey which

    identifies the strong feelings of employee engagement and the steps which shows how to drive

    an engaged employee . Gallup being one of oldest the consulting

    organization {in conducting engagement survey} creates a

    feedback system for employers that would identify and measure

    elements of worker engagement most tide to the bottom line.

    Things such as sales, growth, productivity and customer loyalty are all accessed. After

    Hundreds of focus group and thousands of interviews with employees in a variety of industries,

    Gallup came up with Q. 12, a twelve-question survey that identifies strong feelings of employee

    engagement. They have identified 12 questions that most effectively measure the links (the

    Gallup Q12).

    Based on the results of these Q12 questions the low scoring areas were focused on and

    then an action plan was devised to enrich the skills of employees.

    Then these scores were compared with that of the previous year and meetings with the

    plant head were arranged accordingly.

    An Action Plan was devised accordingly and the areas of concern were put under certain

    departmental heads for further improvement.

    1.2: Theoretical Background of Employee Engagement and Action planning

    In common parlance the term engagement refers to:- (a) being involved in , (b) attract

    interest or attention and (c) pledge oneself to do a particular thing. As such it basically refers to

    the high level of commitment and involvement that is shown by an employee towards his

    organization. An engaged employee is one who is aware of the business context, what all is

    going on around him in his work place and how he works with his colleagues for the

    improvement of oneself and the benefit and welfare of the organization.

    According to global aspects there are basically 3 aspects of employee engagement:

    (1) The employees and their own unique psychological make- up and experience

    (2) The ability to create such conducive conditions to promote employee engagement

    (3) Interaction between employees at all levels of management.

    Therefore it is an organizations responsibility to create an environment and maintain

    or develop a culture that is conducive to this partnership and a win-win equation.

    CATEGORIES OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

    According to Gallup the consulting organization it is said that in an organization there are

    3 different types of employees working around us:

    ENGAGED EMPLOYEE- The engaged employees are generally referred to

    as builders. They are the ones who are curious of knowing their desired expectation for their

    role so that they can meet as well as exceed them. They want to know in detail about their

    company as well as their role in it. They are the individuals who consistently perform at high

    levels. The engaged employees are the ones who use their talent and strength every day at

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    4/40

    work. They possess a strong sense of passion for their work and innovation to drive their

    organization forward.

    NOT ENGAGED-Not engaged employees refer to those

    employees who concentrate on the tasks they are assigned to do rather than the goals or

    outcomes they are expected to accomplish.

    They do their work solely for the sake of doing it. In an organization it has been observed that

    the employees who are not engaged feel that their contributions are being overlooked , and their

    potential is not being tapped. They have this feeling as they do not have productive relationships

    with their managers or co- workers.

    ACTIVELY DISENGAGED- The actively disengaged employees

    are referred to as cave dwellers (Constantly against Virtually Everything). These peopleare not only unhappy but are also busy showing their unhappiness. They sow seeds of

    negativity at every opportunity. Every day, actively disengaged workers undermine what

    their engaged coworkers accomplish. As workers increasingly rely on each other to

    generate products and services, the problems and tensions that are fostered by actively

    disengagedworkers can cause great damage to an organization's functioning.

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    5/40

    Engagement is important for managers to cultivate given that disengagement or alienation is

    central to the problem of workers lack of commitment and motivation. Some of the Advantages

    of Engaged employees are:-

    Engaged employees will stay with the company, be an advocate of the company and its

    products and services, and contribute to bottom line business success.

    They will normally perform better and are more motivated.

    There is a significant link between employee engagement and profitability.

    It builds passion, commitment and alignment with the organizations strategies and goals

    Increases employees trust in the organization

    Creates a sense of loyalty in a competitive environment

    Provides a high-energy working environment

    Boosts business growth

    A highly engaged employee will consistently deliver beyond expectations. Thus employee

    engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued Employees.

    The question of importance is to find the degree

    in which the employees are engaged

    An employee Engagement Satisfaction

    Survey helps one to determine the present level of

    employee. A well-administered satisfaction survey

    will let us know at what level of engagement the

    employees are operating. Customizable employee

    surveyswill providewith a starting point towards

    the efforts to

    optimize

    engagement. The

    key to successful

    employee

    surveys is to pay

    engagement should be a continuous process of measuring, analyzing,

    defining and implementing.

    Gallup came up with Q. 12, a twelve-question survey that identifies strong feelings of

    employee engagement. They have identified 12 questions that most effectively measure the links

    (the Gallup Q12).

    1. Do you know what is expected of you at work?

    2. Do you have the materials and equipment you need to do your

    work right?

    3. At work, do you have the opportunity to do what you do best

    every day?

    4. In the last seven days, have you received recognition or praise for

    doing good work?

    5. Does your supervisor, or someone at work, seems to care about

    you as a person?

    6. Is there someone at work who encourages your development?

    7. At work, do your opinions seem to count?

    8. Does the mission/purpose of your company make you feel your

    job is important?9. Are your associates (fellow employees) committed to doing

    quality work?

    10. Do you have a best friend at work?

    11. In the last six months, has someone at work talked to you about

    your progress?

    12. In the last year, have you had opportunities at work to learn and

    grow?

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    8/40

    Some of the discussions which come from Gallups questions are:

    Know what is expected of me at work- employees should know

    exactly what is expected of them. If expectations are unclear,

    employees will inevitably face frustration, and will be open for other

    opportunities where they do know what's expected of them, and where

    their contributions are measured and recognized.

    Materials and equipment- Employees need the right tools and

    equipment to support their skills, experience and talents & perform

    their jobs at an optimum level.

    Do what I do best every day - Are your employees cast in the right

    roles? Knowing the critical demands for every role is a key to ensuring

    that talents fit those demands.

    Supervisor/Someone at work cares -Managers must spend most of

    their time with their most productive talent. Many managers give their

    greatest degree of attention to employees who are falling behind.

    Talented, productive people crave time and attention from their

    managers, and will leave your company if they have a weak

    relationship (or no relationship) with their manager or supervisor.

    Co-workers committed to quality.-Many companies arbitrarily put

    teams together without considering that employees only

    psychologically commit to teams if they perceive their team members

    will support their high level of commitment and performance.

    Opportunities to learn and grow-The Company should create anenvironment that encourages employees to drive towards innovation

    or to create better systems for more productive results. Great

    managers always ask what skills and knowledge need to accompany

    talent to result in the greatest outcome for each.

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    9/40

    As discussed the Gallup study Q12 is based on positive

    Psychology and emotions. Having a best friend at work or receiving

    recognition every week makes you feel cared for and proud respectively.

    So the Q. 12 measures engagement, and engagement is a positive

    emotional connection to the work. Thus the mechanism of the broaden- and

    build theories and the action tendencies of positive emotions help in

    understanding why the Q. 12 has been so powerful for Gallup in terms of

    predicting outcomes.

    The Gallup research has thus made a contribution in adding an

    additional P to the 4 Ps of marketing i.e. product, price, and

    promotion place and now people to the mix.

    In the combination of engaged employees, Gallup brings

    engaged customers to form the concept of human sigma. These

    include customer engagement, loyalty and emotional attachment.

    The Gallup Organization decided to initiate a multi-year research project to try and define a great

    workplace - a great workplace was one where employees were satisfied with their jobs and this

    thus helps to produce positive business outcomes.

    Gallup has developed a proprietary model that describes the "linked

    path" between every employee's individual contribution and the organization's ultimate

    financial goal -- an increase in its overall value .Gallup provides organizations with integrated

    solutions to help them achieve world-class performance in the first five steps of The Gallup Path.

    Our research has shown that an organization's performance in these five areas can dramatically

    affect its performance in the last three areas.

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    1.4: Statement of the problem:

    The basic reason for carrying out this survey was to enhance the level of employee

    engagement to bring more effectiveness in the organization. Engagement is important for

    managers to cultivate given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of

    workers lack of commitment and motivation. An organizations capacity to manage employee

    engagement is closely related to its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior

    business results.

    The first problem is that while analyzing the low scoring areas of each department, the

    areas which have scored greater are left out. This should not be the case as these are the

    key areas of strengths.

    One should also focus on the bottom two levels of the Engagement Hierarchy. These are

    the basic needs and individual contribution.

    The unit scores should be compared and the differences must be analyzed carefully.

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    12/40

    Always review the last page of the report to examine the distribution (the % of 1s,2s,3s,4s

    and 5s). The distribution will give you a feel of how far you have to move scores to

    increase the numbers

    Pay attention to number of people responding to each question

    Remember, the workplace quality scorecard is just a tool to keep score of important items

    in the workplace.

    1.5: Need of the study

    During my training at Camlin ltd I prepared an action plan in relation to Q12

    which accepted by the organization.Many firms in the private, public and voluntary sectorface levels of staff turnover, employee morale and motivation, staff commitment and job

    satisfaction that are lower than they would hope. This refers to what we call employee

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    13/40

    engagement. When employee engagement is low, or lower than a firm wants it to be,

    productivity and profitability are likely to be severely affected.

    The action plan prepared by me will act as a guiding tool as it a has certain criterias

    which were not implemented previously.

    1.6: Scope of the study

    My project in Camlin ltd dealt with Q12 Questions on Employee Engagement and

    focusing on the low scoring areas by preparing a follow up in the form of an action plan.

    These were then revised accordingly and related changes were made.

    During my training period in Camlin ltd I surveyed 8 departments and 400 employees.

    This survey was basically done to find out the reasons for lacking commitment of employees and

    to enhance their interests to make them perform better and become the best. This ultimately shall

    lead to the organization achieve its goal that is maximizing profit along with retaining

    employees.

    1.7: Objectives of the study

    The basic objective of the study was to help Camlin ltd and the role of Gallup Survey.

    The basic objective can be listed as follows:-

    To understand the concept of Employee Engagement at Camlin ltd and the role of Gallup

    Survey.

    To analyze the Survey of Gallup and gain an understanding about the reasons for

    dissatisfaction and low employee morale in the company.

    To determine which actions need to be restructured so as to promote employee

    engagement.

    To devise action plan that would help to increase and sustain the levels of employee

    engagement.

    Research Methodology

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    16/40

    2.1: Research design

    In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of

    data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge.

    Research is any original and systematic investigation undertaken in order to increase knowledge

    and understanding and to establish facts and principles. It comprises the creation of ideas and

    generation of knowledge that lead to new and substantial improved insights and/or the

    development of new materials, devices, products and processes. It should have the potential to

    produce results that are sufficiently relevant to increase knowledge. Good reflective inquiry

    produces theories and hypotheses and benefits any intellectual attempt to analyze facts and

    phenomena. This search for individual facts or data requires an open-ended question for which

    there is no ready answer. Data are gathered through experiments, surveys or other

    methodologies. This work of my also shows the Gallup 12 point questionnaire, twelve questions

    survey which identifies the strong feelings of employee engagement and the steps which shows

    how to drive an engaged employee.

    An employee Engagement Satisfaction Survey helps one to determine the present level of

    employee. A well-administered satisfaction survey will let us know at what level of

    engagement the employees are operating.

    After which an action plan was included in my research.

    Action plan for Top Management was designed as:

    Survey results dissemination needs to start right at the top.

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    17/40

    Support Q12 Team sessions-drive from the top

    Sponsor action on survey findings

    Set Engagement Target

    Remove barriers, reward and excellence

    Action plan for HR is as under:

    - Facilitate dissemination of survey findings

    - Facilitate manager training programs

    - Creating accountability around team feedback and action planning

    Action plan for Individual Managers is as under:

    Share Q12 scorecard with team

    Lead Q12 Team Feedback & Action Planning

    Focus on first 2 levels of engagement hierarchy for action planning

    2.2: Primary data

    The data which is collected first hand and which comprises the primary sources.

    Primary data can be collected through:

    Observation

    Interview

    Questionnaire

  • 8/2/2019 Summer Intenship Final Pro

    18/40

    Here primary data was collected from the scores based on the Gallup Action template. These

    scores were obtained after circulating the Gallup Action formats to the various divisional heads.

    2.2: Secondary data

    Secondary data is of two kinds, internal and external. Secondary data- whether internal or

    external is data already collected by others, for purposes other than the solution of the problem

    on hand. Secondary data is data taken by the researcher from secondary sources, internal or

    external . Previous years data acted as a guiding factor. It helped me access or compare the

    level of improvement of the departments.

    The other data was obtained from the bulletin boards that were there in the organization.

    1.5: Need of the study

    During my training at Tata Motors I prepared an action plan in relation to Q12

    which accepted by the organization.Many firms in the private, public and voluntary sectorface levels of staff turnover, employee morale and motivation, staff commitment and job

    satisfaction that are lower than they would hope. This refers to what we call employee

    engagement. When employee engagement is low, or lower than a firm wants it to be,

    productivity and profitability are likely to be severely affected.

    The action plan prepared by me will act as a guiding tool as it a has certain criterias

    which were not implemented previously.

    1.6: Scope of the study

    My project in Tata Motors dealt with Q12 Questions on Employee Engagement and

    focusing on the low scoring areas by preparing a follow up in the form of an action plan.

    These were then revised accordingly and related changes were made.

    During my training period in Tata Motors I surveyed 18 departments and 400 employees.

    This survey was basically done to find out the reasons for lacking commitment of employees and

    to enhance their interests to make them perform better and become the best. This ultimately shall

    lead to the organization achieve its goal that is maximizing profit along with retaining

    employees.

    Research Methodology

    2.1: Research design

    In the broadest sense of the word, the definition of research includes any gathering of

    data, information and facts for the advancement of knowledge.

    Research is any original and systematic investigation undertaken in order to increase knowledge

    and understanding and to establish facts and principles. It comprises the creation of ideas and

    generation of knowledge that lead to new and substantial improved insights and/or the

    development of new materials, devices, products and processes. It should have the potential to

    produce results that are sufficiently relevant to increase knowledge. Good reflective inquiry

    produces theories and hypotheses and benefits any intellectual attempt to analyze facts and

    phenomena. This search for individual facts or data requires an open-ended question for which

    there is no ready answer. Data are gathered through experiments, surveys or other

    methodologies. This work of my also shows the Gallup 12 point questionnaire, twelve questions

    survey which identifies the strong feelings of employee engagement and the steps which shows

    how to drive an engaged employee.

    An employee Engagement Satisfaction Survey helps one to determine the present level of

    employee. A well-administered satisfaction survey will let us know at what level of

    engagement the employees are operating.

    After which an action plan was included in my research.

    Action plan for Top Management was designed as:

    Survey results dissemination needs to start right at the top.

    Support Q12 Team sessions-drive from the top

    Sponsor action on survey findings

    Set Engagement Target

    Remove barriers, reward and excellence

    Action plan for HR is as under:

    - Facilitate dissemination of survey findings

    - Facilitate manager training programs

    - Creating accountability around team feedback and action planning

    Action plan for Individual Managers is as under:

    Share Q12 scorecard with team

    2.2: Primary data

    The data which is collected first hand and which comprises the primary sources.

    Primary data can be collected through:

    Observation

    Interview

    Questionnaire

    Here primary data was collected from the scores based on the Gallup Action template. These

    scores were obtained after circulating the Gallup Action formats to the various divisional heads.

    2.2: Secondary data

    Secondary data is of two kinds, internal and external. Secondary data- whether internal or

    external is data already collected by others, for purposes other than the solution of the problem

    on hand. Secondary data is data taken by the researcher from secondary sources, internal or

    external . Previous years data acted as a guiding factor. It helped me access or compare the

    level of improvement of the departments. Then there were Skip Level meetings that were

    organized. This data remains with the HRdepartment which I collected.

    The other data was obtained from the bulletin boards that were there in the organization

    2.3 : Population

    8 Departments were surveyed. The population was examined department wise

    2.4: Method of data collection

    The first way was document review.

    Data from the focus group interview in the form ofskip level meetings.

    Analysis got after collecting and calculating the mean scores from the Q12

    questionnaire.

    2.5: Data analysis techniques

    Data displays structured summaries and charts allowed a condensed view of the data sources

    and revealed that some further analysis was needed.

    Data for my project was basically obtained by the distribution of the Gallup template which was

    circulated to the managers, This format had Gallup Q12 questions in it.

    2.6: Limitations

    The managers were supportive enough and helped me analyze the past results. There were

    certain bottlenecks which I faced during my project. The Gallup organization visited in the

    second last week of July. As such there was a bit ofTime Constraint.

    Besides there were certain confidential data which was not revealed by the organization.

    Conclusions

    An employee Engagement Satisfaction Survey helps one to determine the present level of

    employee. A well-administered satisfaction survey will let us know at what level of engagement

    the employees are operating. Customizable employee surveyswill providewith a starting point

    towards the efforts to optimize employee engagement. The key to successful employeesatisfaction surveys is to pay close attention to the feedback from the staff. It is important that

    employee engagement is not viewed as a onetime action. Employee engagement should

    be a continuous process of measuring, analyzing, defining and

    implementing.

    Gallup being one of oldest the consulting organization {in

    conducting engagement survey} creates a feedback system for

    employers that would identify and measure elements of worker

    engagement most tide to the bottom line.

    Moreover there should also be a proper Action Plan. Action

    planning is a process which will help you to focus your ideas and to decide what steps you

    need to take to achieve particular goals that you may have. It is a statement of what you want

    to achieve over a given period of time. Preparing an action plan is a good way to help you to

    reach your objectives in life: don't worry about the future, start planning for it!

    It involves:

    Identifying your objectives

    Setting objectives which are achievable & measurable.

    Prioritizing your tasks effectively.

    Identifying the steps needed to achieve your goals.

    Using lists.

    Being able to work effectively under pressure.

    Completing work to a deadline. Having a contingency plan

    Thus Employee Engagement is a key to successful Organizational Growth.

    The basic aim of my project in Tata Motors was to prepare survey the various

    departments and then prepare an action plan. The Organization has an action plan

    template which is attached to the annexure. The action plans on what all tasks should be

    assigned and delegated was designed by me.
