Benefits of Participating
Periodically, Hewitt conducts a survey of selected leading organisations for them to benchmark results and identify solutions. In return for their involvement, we will not only share the results of the benchmark survey but will help participating companies address engagement issues in their organisation. Participating companies will have access to Hewitt’s latest research into engagement and Hewitt consultants will be on hand to share some of their personal experiences of helping the world’s most successful companies improve engagement. We will also create the opportunity to network with and learn from other leading organisations. All of this is free of charge to participating companies.

As a result, participating companies gain a unique understanding into:

• Their position as an employer-of-choice versus competitors.
• Engagement and perception of employees’ work experience by region, country, industry—above average, we provide ‘first quartile’ best-in-class benchmark.
• The relationships between overall engagement and HR policies and programmes.
• The impact of organisational change on engagement.
• Key levers and opportunities to improve engagement.
• The potential impact on business results.

Survey Overview
Participating in the study is easy. For each participating company, a 28-question survey is completed by a random sample of employees. The survey takes only 10 minutes to complete and can be completed online or in paper copy. Between November and the end of January, participating companies decide when exactly they would like to conduct the survey and Hewitt provides full support throughout the survey period. In addition to the employees’ survey, there is a 2-page company information questionnaire to be completed and returned to Hewitt.

For each questionnaire, Hewitt will make a donation of €1 to a charity (up to a maximum overall amount of €10,000 for this European benchmark).
