Using Survey Data to Predict Staff Turnover
Mark Allison, MD Digital Opinion |
02 Feb 2012 |
Leavers' surveys tell us why people decide to leave their job but they seldom tell us much about the journey that led to that decision. Can we use employee engagement surveys to track that journey, profile leavers and predict staff turnover? This paper, based on a study of 4,000 leavers, suggests the answer may well be yes.

Beyond the Matrix - The Four Faces of Work
Mark Allison, MD Digital Opinion |
03 Nov 2011 |
The purpose of this paper is not to explain our approach to measuring engagement but rather to look beyond the matrix and profile each of the four employee types. We highlight the factors which cause each type to think, feel and act the way they do and more importantly we provide some pointers on how to go about converting the frustrated and uncommitted, and even the disaffected, into engaged employees who really drive the business forward.

The Survey Success Model
Digital Opinion |
01 Nov 2011 |
The ultimate measure of the success of any employee engagement survey is how far insight is turned into actions which drive a measurable improvement in business performance. For many companies, however, developing and executing an action planning programme which drives sustainable improvement is the most challenging part of the survey process.

Key Driver Analysis
Digital Opinion |
01 Nov 2011 |
At the end of an employee engagement survey the challenge is to prioritise actions. Some companies give priority goes to the lowest scoring issues; others prioritise the lowest scoring issues that scored high on an importance scale. In our experience both approaches can result in resources being focused on issues that don\'t impact engagement. Key driver analysis is a complex analytical procedure with a simple outcome: applied to survey data it identifies the things that have the biggest impact on engagement and business performance and enables our clients to focus their efforts on those issues.

What motivates people to do a good job? How can organisations get the best out of their people?
