Genos Employee Engagement Assessments

The Genos Engagement Assessment was created by Dr Gilles Gignac, Dr Ben Palmer and Mr David Clarke. It is an 8-item measure of the four value creating behaviors of the Genos engagement model as shown below:

Employees respond on an 8-point scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. Total employee engagement is calculated at the individual level by averaging employee responses to the eight engagement questions and mapping this average to industry-wide benchmarks. The report presents the percentage of employees in your organization who are found to be Engaged, Nearly Engaged, Not Engaged and Actively Disengaged as described below.

The Four Levels of Employee Engagement

1. Engaged
   Engaged employees work with passion and feel a profound emotional and intellectual connection to their company. They drive innovation, consistently demonstrate positive emotions and move the organisation forward.
2. Nearly Engaged
   Nearly engaged employees work diligently to get things done and do what is expected of them. They may put in extra time or energy into things when necessary but not willingly or with passion.
3. Not Engaged
   Not Engaged employees are essentially ‘checked out’. They are sleepwalking through their workday, putting time but not energy or passion into their work. Getting them to go above and beyond is difficult.
4. Actively Disengaged
   Actively Disengaged Employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting out their unhappiness. The consistently demonstrate negative emotions and seek to undermine what their engaged co-workers accomplish.

Our customizable organizational effectiveness survey is always used along with the engagement questions to determine how to improve engagement. It measures employees’ opinions about the effectiveness of organizational factors deemed critical to executing your strategy in your market conditions.

The Genos engagement assessment correlates engagement scores with organizational effectiveness factors to determine what levers your organization should pull to improve engagement and the value-creating behaviors it comprises. Finally, the Genos engagement assessment can calculate engagement levels by demographics such as Tenure, Position, Location, Level and others. See the sample reports section for more information.
