EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
Survey Contents
The level achievement score for Employee Engagement is based on the degree to which employees agree with the statement below. Organizations can create a survey that contains additional questions or statements, but the statement below must be included.
- All things considered, I feel engaged at my organization.
The score for the Just achievement level is based on the number of employees who respond Agree or Strongly Agree. Just defines Employee Engagement as the extent to which employees feel passionate about their jobs, are committed to the organization and put discretionary effort into their work.
The calculation for generating a score from the responses is provided both in the Calculations section for this Indicator, and in a sample survey that includes the required question in its Work Engagement category, which is available in the Just 2.0 Application Toolkit here and through the ILFI member dashboard.
Survey Participation
The entire workforce should be given an opportunity to respond to the Employee Engagement Survey. In order to be valid for submission, results must reflect a minimum response rate of 60%.
Organizations may include senior leadership in the survey at their discretion; however, the intent of the survey is to gauge the experience of employees who do not have the power and influence that senior leadership typically holds.
ORGANIZATIONS WITH FEWER THAN 5 EMPLOYEES
Because calculations based on the number of employees can be skewed when derived from a small number, organizations with fewer than 5 employees are limited to earning Level 1 recognition for this Indicator.
SCOPE OF EMPLOYEES
Indicator metrics apply to all of the following groups:
- Employees (see definition in the General Clarifications)
- Contract workers
- Interns
