Employee Engagement in One Statement

If you’re looking to get a really quick pulse on your culture and employee engagement, here is the one statement you should ask employees to rate their agreement with:

“It would take a lot for me to leave this organization.”

BAM! That’s it. That one little statement will let you know just enough about what employees think of their work experience with your company. It may want to make you dig deeper, but sometimes a quick pulse is all you’re after.

You know what’s even better? For Members of Cascade Employers Association we conduct a Quick Pulse Employee Survey as a benefit of membership every year. Not only do we use the statement above, we ask just two additional questions that give you that deeper dig you might be after.

One more thing. If you’re going to survey your workforce, even with just one statement, make sure you are committed to doing something meaningful with the results you get. There’s no quicker way to dampen employee engagement by asking for input and doing nothing about it.
