It also helped to identify the specific challenges that face biotechnology companies like us.  I highly recommend LSA’s practical and strategic employee engagement approach and solutions.”

Description

The costs of disengaged employees and unwanted attrition are well understood. According to four recent studies, the impact of lower employee engagement scores is pretty startling:

  • 12% lower profits
  • 19% lower operating income
  • 28% lower earnings per share

While higher employee engagement scores correlate to:

  • 18% greater productivity
  • 12% higher customer satisfaction
  • 51% less voluntary turnover

Hoping to boost employees’ discretionary efforts and reduce turnover, many organizations scramble to implement engagement and retention solutions without really understanding the factors specific to targeting high value employee groups.

Such off-target programs yield mediocre results, waste precious company resources, and can even lead to increased attrition.

Before you undertake an engagement or retention initiative, you need to know exactly where and how to target your efforts.

Which of your employee populations are most at risk?

What does your own top talent really want?

Why might key employees decide to stay at or leave your company?

Our proven Employee Engagement Survey is administered to thousands of organizations each and every year.

The innovative technology takes the administration burden off your shoulders and provides an immediate and clear picture of your organization’s strengths and opportunities for developing better employee engagement and commitment in a way that aligns with your corporate strategy and organizational culture.

This enables executives and senior management to accurately target engagement and retention interventions to the populations most at risk of attrition, as well as to those most critical to your company’s long-term success.

Employee Engagement Survey
LSA’s Employee Engagement Survey provides online access to actionable results within days of the survey closing.  All survey items are statistically validated and predictive.

Administered to thousands of organizations each year, the proven survey methodology and hassle-free approach includes custom and open-ended questions, employee communication templates, benchmarks by size, industry, function and geography, multiple language options, and online or paper-based approaches to measure ten research-backed engagement areas:

In three simple steps:

  1. Measure engagement in a way that makes sense for your unique strategy and culture
  2. Analyze your results with online tools and compare to key benchmarks
  3. Take action and track results with manager dashboards and targeted action planning

Each engagement project comes with a dedicated team of experts to support you from sale through survey administration to renewal.  In concert with your team requirements, we handle survey kickoff, implementation, project tracking, one-on-one or group training, access to user guides, and analytical and technical support.

Survey Customization Options to Align with Your Strategy and Culture
Custom areas typically include questions from our database related to:

  • Alignment with the company’s vision and mission
  • Communication and information flow
  • Change agility and management
  • Work-life balance
  • Learning and development
  • Rewards and recognition
  • Diversity
  • Customer focus

An unlimited number of custom questions can also be added specific to your unique situation.

Employee Engagement Benchmarking Options to Compare Results and Set Meaningful Targets
Because we survey over 5,000 companies each year, we are able to compare employee engagement scores externally by size, geography, industry, and best-in-class winners.

Our typical internal benchmark comparisons include year-over-year, department-to -organization and other company specific custom benchmarks depending upon their unique strategy, culture and talent management objectives.

Engagement Reporting and Analytic Options to Get the Data and Insights You Need
Within days of the survey closing, we provide complete access to all of the collected data and a powerful suite of online tools and templates for limitless analysis by any demographic.

Executive Summary and Reporting Options to Present the Findings
We interpret your data and present the findings to you, your team, and your key executive stakeholders in a way that makes sense for you and your team.  The final presentation typically includes key insights, trends, engagement drivers, strengths, weaknesses, recommended actions, and suggested next steps.

Manager Engagement Action Planning and Accountability Options to Streamline Next Steps for Managers
While more organizations are measuring employee engagement as part of their talent strategies, too many drop the ball when it comes to implementation and follow-through.  For a survey to be effective, it must be followed by visible and meaningful actions.

Our research tells us that employees who believe follow up occurred are 6x’s more likely to report a positive change in the next survey.

To help managers make a measurable difference with engagement survey results, we  empower managers with an online engagement dashboard, provide customized analytics to highlight only what matters, suggest actionable goals related to proven engagement drivers, and offer targeted learning based on survey results.

Targeted Learning Options to Help Managers Improve Engagement and Retention
Measurably increasing employee engagement takes commitment, effort, and investment. Targeted learning can help managers make a meaningful difference with their team.

Learning options include access to a library of lessons focused on improving key survey items, individual development plans based on each manager’s goals, problems and needs, five-minute learning bursts written by experts in management and organizational behavior, and customized team interventions to move the engagement needle.
