Appraisals Employee Survey The importance of having a regular employee survey cannot be understated and forms an integral part of the total appraisal.
Employee engagement occurs when a workforce demonstrates behaviour that is congruent with organisational goals and objectives (Erickson, 2005). Engaged employees are conscientious about their work, enthusiastic about what they do, and are committed to maintaining a high level of performance (Macey and Schneider, 2008). Engagement transcends both satisfaction and happiness, moving into a level of intense emotional commitment to BigDog. Engaged employees demonstrate discretionary effort, meaning they willingly take on responsibilities that are above and beyond their job description.
I am particularly pleased that the overall result consistently shows a result above 4.5 out of 5. This shows a healthy business environment and job satisfaction. Of particular note are the following 2 highest: scoring statements
Achieving participant satisfaction is an everyday priority
BigDog treats employees with respect.
The statement that scored the lowest, only .3 behind the highest score is BigDog recognises and rewards good performance. This is true, I don’t tell everyone what a great job they do enough times and I need to change that and I will. Commencing this month I will be selecting an employee of the month and rewarding them with a $50 Bunnings voucher as a thank you.
