EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.

INTRODUCTION
Engagement is defined as the extent to which people value, enjoy, and believe in what they
do. Engaged employees are committed to their organization and its bottom line; have
tremendous pride and job ownership; put forth more discretionary effort in terms of
time and energy; and, on average, demonstrate significantly higher levels of performance
and productivity than those who are not engaged.
Employee engagement is the thus the level of commitment and involvement an employee
has toward their organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of business
Context, and works with colleagues to improve performance within the job for the benefit
of the organization. The organization must work to develop and nurture engagement,
which requires a two-way relationship between employer and employee. Thus Employee
Engagement is a barometer that determines the association of a person with the
organization.
The study focuses on employee engagement and what should company do to make the
employees engaged. It also looks at the questionnaire prepared by us that identifies strong
feelings of employee engagement and the steps which shows how to drive an engaged
employee.

INTRODUCTION
TO
EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT
It happens many times that an organization that provides top wages and benefits loses a great
employee to a competitor for no apparent reason. Of course, some employee turnover is to be
expected, but if the company is truly engaging its employees, there is no good reason for the
unexpected loss of quality staff members. Many companies already know that wages and
benefits are important to employees, but compensation alone is not enough to keep the highly
skilled, motivated and experienced workforce.
The challenge before HR is to engage employees in the organization to make them feel the
part of the organization and to help them grow. Organizations need employees who are
committed, flexible, and ready to participate in decisions over how, when and where they
work to best suit customers lives and their own work-life balance. Employee engagement
recognizes that the workforce as a whole is entitled to have a say, not just those individuals
who shout the loudest, those who are union members, or those who are closest to the boss.
Without it, people feel disempowered, demotivated and performance is likely to suffer.
All companies are aware that they need to do a better job of managing their people. Research
shows that engaged employees are more likely to stay, and be an advocate of the company, its
products or services. They contribute to the overall success of the organization. A greater
number of loyal employees ensure low recruitment and training costs, in effect enhancing the
productivity of the organization. They are also more willing to put in extra effort when the
organization needs it.

What is employee engagement?


Employee engagement is a concept that is generally viewed as managing discretionary effort,
that is, when employees have choices, they will act in a way that furthers their organization's
interests. An engaged employee is a person who is fully involved in, and enthusiastic about,
his or her work. Engagement is about motivating employees to do their best. An engaged
employee gives his company his 100 percent. This is what makes the difference in an
industry where the most valuable resource of a company walks out of the door every evening.

14 | P a g e

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.


Higher productivity, reliability, higher self-motivation, confidence to express new ideas,
organizational loyalty, less employee turnover, lower absenteeism and higher levels of
customer approval and service quality are some of the characteristics of a wholly engaged
employee. Striving to do the best they can for the organization, remaining committed and
having a desire to continue working with them and always speaking positive about their
employer is what an engaged employee is all about.
Engagement is a state where an individual is, not only intellectually committed, but also has a
great emotional attachment with his/her job that goes above and beyond the call of duty, so as
to further the interest of the company. It is important to note, the employee engagement
process does require a two-way relationship between employer and employee.
In todays highly competitive work environment, such engaged employees act as a valuable
assets, which ultimately lead to an increase in the business performance and lower staff
turnover.
Engaged employees feel a strong emotional bond to the organization that employs them. This
is associated with people demonstrating willingness to recommend the organization to others
and commit time and effort to help the organization succeed. It suggests that people are
motivated by intrinsic factors (e.g. personal growth, working to a common purpose, being
part of a larger process) rather than simply focusing on extrinsic factors (e.g., pay/reward).
It has been proved that there is an intrinsic link between employee engagement, customer
loyalty, and profitability. The concept of employee engagement can also be connected to
the concept of Maslows hierarchy of needs. Maslow speaks about the 5 stages of human
development (Physiological needs, Safety needs, Social needs, Esteem needs, and Selfactualization needs). Research has shown that employee moving upwards in the hierarchy
tends to be more engaged in the organization. As one need of the employee is addressed,
employee moves towards next needs, these needs when fulfilled, motivate employee to work
for the organization with greater enthusiasm and involvement which gives rise to the
concept of employee engagement in the organization.

Employee Engagement Model


15 | P a g e

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.


Engaged employees can be distinguished by 3S. Engagement should be measured through
three key principles - say, stay and strive.
Say This is a measure of how likely an employee is to be an advocate of the organization.
Would they recommend working there to a friend? Would they sing your praises as an
employer?
Speak positively about the organization and show an optimistic attitude towards its working.
Stay Commitment is key, so it is vital to measure your employee's loyalty to the business.
Do they plan to remain in the company? How long do they envisage working there for?
The intense need to be associated with the organization for the longer duration.
Strive Are your employees more than just satisfied with doing their work well? This area
measures whether employees would be prepared to go 'over and above' the call of duty to
ensure organizational success.
Exhibiting behaviors that contribution to the success of the business and putting in extra
efforts for the organizations survival in the tough competitive world.

Categories of Employee Engagement


According to Gallup the Consulting organization there are different types of people:Engaged"Engaged" employees are builders. They want to know the desired expectations
for their role so they can meet and exceed them. They're naturally curious about their
company and their place in it. They perform at consistently high levels. They want to use
their talents and strengths at work every day. They work with passion and they drive
innovation and move their organization forward
Not Engaged---Not-engaged employees tend to concentrate on tasks rather than the goals
and outcomes they are expected to accomplish. They want to be told what to do just so they
can do it and say they have finished. They focus on accomplishing tasks vs. achieving an
outcome. Employees who are not-engaged tend to feel their contributions are being
overlooked, and their potential is not being tapped. They often feel this way because they
don't have productive relationships with their managers or with their coworkers.

16 | P a g e

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.


Actively Disengaged--The "actively disengaged" employees are the "cave dwellers."
They're "Consistently against Virtually Everything." They're not just unhappy at work;
Theyre busy acting out their unhappiness .They sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity.
As workers increasingly rely on each other to generate products and services, the problems
and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers
Can cause great damage to an organization's functioning.
Gallup research has shown that engaged employees are more productive, profitable,
safer, create stronger customer relationships, and stay longer with their company than
less engaged employees. This latest research indicates that workplace engagement is also
a powerful factor in catalyzing "outside-the-box" thinking to improve management and
business processes as well as customer service.

FACTORS LEADING TO EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

17 | P a g e

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.

1. Career Development- Opportunities for Personal Development


Organizations with high levels of engagement provide employees with opportunities to
develop their abilities, learn new skills, acquire new knowledge and realise their
potential. When companies plan for the career paths of their employees and invest in
them in this way their people invest in them.

2. Career Development Effective Management of Talent


Career development influences engagement for employees and retaining the most
talented employees and providing opportunities for personal development.

3. Leadership- Clarity of Company Values


Employees need to feel that the core values for which their companies stand are
unambiguous and clear.

4. Leadership Respectful Treatment of Employees


Successful organizations show respect for each employees qualities and contribution
regardless of their job level.

5. Leadership Companys Standards of Ethical Behavior


A companys ethical standards also lead to engagement of an individual

6. Empowerment
Employees want to be involved in decisions that affect their work. The leaders of high
engagement workplaces create a trustful and challenging environment, in which
employees are encouraged to dissent from the prevailing orthodoxy and to input and
innovate to move the organization forward.

7. Image
How much employees are prepared to endorse the products and services which their
Company provides its customers depends largely on their perceptions of the quality of
those goods and services. High levels of employee engagement are inextricably linked
with high levels of customer engagement.

18 | P a g e

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.

8. Other factors
Equal Opportunities and Fair Treatment
The employee engagement levels would be high if their bosses (superiors) provide equal
Opportunities for growth and advancement to all the employees
Performance appraisal
Fair evaluation of an employees performance is an important criterion for determining
the level of employee engagement. The company which follows an appropriate
Performance appraisal technique (which is transparent and not biased) will have high
levels of employee engagement.
Pay and Benefits
The company should have a proper pay system so that the employees are motivated to
work in the organization. In order to boost his engagement levels the employees should
also be provided with certain benefits and compensations.
Health and Safety
Research indicates that the engagement levels are low if the employee does not feel
secure while working. Therefore every organization should adopt appropriate methods
and systems for the health and safety of their employees.
Job Satisfaction
Only a satisfied employee can become an engaged employee. Therefore it is very
essential for an organization to see to it that the job given to the employee matches his
career goals which will make him enjoy his work and he would ultimately be satisfied
with his job.
Communication
The company should follow the open door policy. There should be both upward and
downward communication with the use of appropriate communication channels in the
organization. If the employee is given a say in the decision making and has the right to be
heard by his boss than the engagement levels are likely to be high.
Family Friendliness
A persons family life influences his work life. When an employee realizes that the
organization is considering his familys benefits also, he will have an emotional
attachment with the organization which leads to engagement.

CONCLUSION OF THE STUDY


This section summarizes the findings of the study and draws conclusion from them. The
study was conducted to assess the engagement level of employees & to find out the
Engagement score of all department present at Head office, Delhi. Across my research I came
to know that HR employees put their great effort to make other employees Engage for the
organization. They conduct various recreational activities such as Family get together twice
in a year; send birthday wishes & many more. A new initiative was taken this year to release
a quarterly magazine Bimb Pratibimb to enhance the internal communication in
organization. On the basis of analysis following conclusion has been drawn.
HR & Finance department of the company were found to be highly Engaged & motivated
towards their task. They enjoy the work assigned to them in provided physical setting. Some
lesser extent of employees agrees with health & safety schemes thats why they requires a
more secure environment to work.
The Engagement score of IT department is somewhat lesser to the other department. The
main reason for this is that employees feel that they are not provided with adequate resources
(equipment and tools) required to do the job.
The Engagement score of Marketing department & Export department is not good as the
score of the other department. The reason behind this is stressed environment; they do not
feel themselves secure with the Health & safety schemes of the company & lesser training for
them.
The Engagement score of the ARF department is somewhat good in comparison to the other
department but findings say scope of improvement is required to improve score in future.

The Engagement score of the customer care department is least in comparison to the other
department, the main reason behind this is Quality of work system, reward & recognition
activities, ideas & suggestion must be encouraged.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Employees feel more engaged when they are able to make a unique contribution,
experience empowerment, and have opportunities for personal growth.
Employees feel more engaged when they have clear direction, performance
accountability, and an efficient work environment.
Employees want to work in an environment that is efficient in terms of time,
resources and budget. Employees feel more engaged when they work in a safe,
cooperative environment.
Measurement of employee engagement can have many applications within an organization.
Engagement can be a general index of HR effectiveness in an HR scorecard. The fundamental
issues measured in engagement provide a quick index of what leaders and HR representatives
need to do to make things better.
On the basis of above key findings, I have been able to recommend following suggestions:

As the study shows that the HR & Finance department has good engagement level,
company should practices the same activities to maintain same engagement to their
work & reward them suitably in proportion to their work.

Company policies must be clearly communicated to all employees to avoid any


feeling to unrest among them on matter pertaining to the policy.

Redesign the reward & recognition system for each department.

Employees training need must be assessed on individual basis & provided with the
more customized training regarding to their job area.

Required infrastructure & tool must be provided to improve the productivity of


employees at work.

42 | P a g e

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT AT AYURVET LTD.

Key Result Areas must be defined properly to make the work of employees more
interesting & focused to their goal as the study say all employees put efforts beyond
the requirement of job so that their efforts can be utilize.

Companys HR is good at the recreational activities because these made the


employees to feel emotional attachment with the company, so they should continue
their effort at this part.

More opportunities for participation & expression of views on issues/matters related


to the company business should be provided.

Innovative ideas, suggestions, comment must be encouraged from employees.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY


There are certain limitations which were faced during the project:
All the employees were not willing to give their response.
Salary is an important issue of the topic they didnt allow me to maintain single
question of it in questionnaire, according to them it may cause discontent among
employees later on.
Some of the relevant information could not be extracted from employees as it was
meant to be kept confidential.
Employees were facing time constraint while filling the questionnaires.
