I thought the background for this program could have been a little more clear, and there could have been a little more details given about the company and why this program is being put forward. The goal of this program was to increase employee engagement as measured by EEC surveys and QLMS results.

The EEC contributed to positive 2008 results for employee engagement. There were no decreases in survey satisfaction levels from 2007 to 2008 and engagement in employees went up. Their engagement levels went from the level of “agree “ to “strongly agree” in one year. There was a positive relation between the objective, execution and results of the program.

Inferences about program success based on Manager Program Selections- It may have had a negative impact if there weren’t enough participants in the program. However, I believe there was some bias for the Managers selecting one program over the others. Even though we are empowering the Managers to make decisions for their location, we are not empowering the employees themselves as they were not involved with the Managers to make the decision as a team. In addition, Program I is not really a program, but an election to not participate as they were conducting business as usual.

Companies that have higher levels of engaged employees have higher earnings per share (EPS) than companies that have lower engagement levels (Kelleher, 2011). Engaged employees are more productive, have higher levels of customer loyalty and help their employers become more profitable. An engaged employee is less likely to leave their current position.
