Performance Group Employee Engagement EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT INDEXTM SCORECARD GUIDE
GETTING STARTED Following the completion of an Employee Engagement Survey, the results are analyzed and a scorecard is created for each work team. Scorecards act as a discussion starter for team action planning conversations and help teams quantify change in engagement over time. Productive dialogue between managers and their team members is intended to help improve trust, safety, productivity, and customer relationships. The Employee Engagement Survey consists of twenty two survey items that are grouped into six categories. These categories make up Evolve s Employee Commitment Index TM : My Job My Manager My Team My Growth My Customers My Company TYPES OF SCORECARDS The bottom of the scorecard includes specific information related to the type of scorecard you received and the number of respondents. The type of scorecard is based on the number of people on your team that responded to the survey. The scorecard type is listed after your name in the blue bar at the bottom of the page. The three types of scorecards are: Team Scorecard If 4 or more direct reports responded to the survey you will receive a team scorecard. Rollup Scorecard If less than 4 direct reports responded to the survey and some or all of them are managers you will receive a rollup scorecard. This includes everyone that reports to you or reports to someone who reports to you. Manager s Rollup If your team and rollup is less than four respondents, you will receive your manager s rollup scorecard which includes everyone that reports directly or indirectly to your manager. 2 Evolve Performance Group.

SCORECARD DATA The Employee Engagement Scorecard includes your overall engagement score and specific information related to each survey item. This information will help you identify areas of opportunity and areas of strength within your work team. Survey items are separated into six categories and are listed on the 1st and 2nd pages of the scorecard. If your organization selected additional survey items, they will appear at the bottom of the 2nd page. Managers with ten or more respondents will see an additional breakdown - the % of respondents who gave 1 s (Strongly Disagree), 2 s, 3 s, and 4 s. A minimum of ten responses is necessary to receive this breakdown in order to protect the confidentiality of respondents. OVERALL ENGAGEMENT The Overall Engagement section, located in blue at the top of the scorecard, averages your scores for the four manager driven engagement categories: My Job, My Manager, My Team, and My Growth.

EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT INDEX TM There are 22 critical elements that drive engagement which, in turn, drive performance. These elements are grouped into six categories which make up Evolve s Employee Commitment Index. As a manager, you have a direct impact on four of these categories: My Job, My Manager, My Team and My Growth. And an indirect impact on the remaining two, My Company and My Customers. Read the descriptions below to learn more about each of these categories. MY JOB The My Job category measures the most basic needs of a work environment. Do you know what to do and when to do it? Do you have all of the equipment and information needed to successfully do your job? Studies show that employees with high scores in the My Job category tend to be more productive, safer, stay with the organization longer, and contribute more innovation to the workplace than employees with low scores on these items. MY MANAGER Items in the My Manager category measure the employee s perception of their manager as well as the way they feel their own contributions are reflected back to them. While it is up to the individual employee to contribute to the team, the culture, and the bottom line of the organization, it is the manager who is most directly responsible for facilitating this contribution. MY TEAM Employee Engagement is about how each team works together to improve the performance of a company. The My Team category items provide insight into how your employees work with each other. The dynamics of openness, appreciation, trust, and care for the individual are important components of the overall engagement picture. MY GROWTH Truly engaged individuals feel a progression at work. They compare where they are today to where they were yesterday. They want to know what the future holds and how they fit into the overall picture of the organization as it grows and changes. The My Growth category is important because it will identify whether your employees see a future with your company. These scores play a huge role in engagement and will help you predict turnover. MY CUSTOMERS The My Customers category measures an employee s perception of how people within a company view the company s orientation towards its customers. When these perceptions are compared to client engagement data, gaps can be found, identified, and rectified. MY COMPANY Each manager acts as a window to the broader organization for his/her team. Managers and supervisors are responsible for sharing information about upcoming changes, acting as a champion for team and individual efforts, successes, and consistently displaying the values of the organization. Examining the view of the whole organization next to the view of the parts is important to understanding where there are great successes and where changes could be made to enhance overall satisfaction.

These recommendations are intended to act as a starting point for your Action Planning efforts - they are not mandatory areas to focus on (see example below). The Action Planning Recommendations section include the following information: Item results Workplace issues to consider Questions for the manager to ask his/her team The information included in the workplace issues and questions areas can also be found in the Coaching Tips & Hot Spots guide.
