A Study on Employee Engagement at Pump Industry

Abstract

Employee Engagement is the extent to which an employee is committed, both emotionally and intellectually, towards the work, mission, and vision of the organization. Engagement can be seen as a heightened level of ownership where each employee wants to do whatever they can for the benefit of their internal and external customers, and for the success of the organization as a whole. Engaged organizations have strong and authentic values, with clear evidence of trust and fairness based on mutual respect, where two way promises and commitments between employers and staff – are understood, and are fulfilled. Engagement is two way: organizations must work to engage the employee, who in turn has a choice about the level of engagement to offer the employer Increasing employee engagement has a positive impact on key business metrics. Employee engagement is required in any organization because it can affect employee's attitudes, absence and turnover levels. Engaged employees are more likely to stay with the organization, perform 20 per cent better than their colleagues and act as advocates of the business. Engagement can enhance bottom-line profit and enable organizational agility and improved efficiency in driving change initiatives. Engaged individuals invest themselves fully in their work, with increased self-efficacy and a positive impact upon health and well-being, which in turn evokes increased employee support for the organization. Against this background, the present study is undertaken at Pump Industries to identify the level of Employee Engagement and factors discriminating for the same.
