Chicago, IL – August 10, 2010 – According to new data released from HR Solutions, Inc., a Human Capital Management Firm, the key driver of Employee Engagement is recognition.  The survey item, “Employees here receive recognition for a job well done,” was the single biggest factor in predicting Employee Engagement.  This data comes from HR Solution’s National Normative Database, which is comprised of 3.3 million employees from 2,400 organizations.
 
Other key drivers of Engagement include: allowing employees to have an impact on their organization, a supervisor who encourages career growth, a job that allows the employee to do what he or she does best, regular feedback from the employee’s supervisor, senior management’s concern for employees, friendly and helpful co-workers, and having the necessary materials and tools to perform well. Altogether, these factors account for 82 percent of the variance in Employee Engagement scores.  
 
“While there are many factors that influence Employee Engagement, organizations should focus on crucial areas including recognition and career advancement to have the greatest impact,” said Kevin Sheridan, CEO of HR Solutions.  Making small changes, such as encouraging managers to recognize their employees on a daily basis, can have an enormous impact on Employee Engagement levels within an organization.
