There’s no question that employee engagement continues to be a hot topic amongst senior leaders these days as the economy continues to struggle through what appears to be the bottom of its hole and companies place more focus on improving productivity. The Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) has found strong correlations between engaged workforces and high-performing ones, which is probably why that amidst layoffs and stock plunges engagement has become all that more important.

In a recent engagement study we did with the ASTD, we asked how companies measure engagement. Some of the most common responses are pretty obvious and standard, such as asking in exit interviews and tracking turnover, but neither of those are particularly good at tackling the problem before employees quit.
