Viva Glint continuously revisits our measurement of engagement and its drivers. From 2020-2022, we embarked on an exhaustive research project to ensure we had a modern understanding of what drives engagement. Based on a comprehensive literature review and statistical analyses using 350 million employee feedback datapoints from our global customer base, we identified the most important aspects of employee experience to drive employee engagement. We call these the People Success Elements and they include Growth, Connection, Purpose, Clarity, Empowerment, Wellbeing. Our surveys are designed to measure and help leaders and managers take action to address these aspects of the workplace experience to move the needle on employee engagement and can be tailored to the unique needs and context of any organization. We also run studies to show the impact of engagement on the bottom line. In 2023, we found that organizations with high engagement were twice as financially resilient in a turbulent year than those with low engagement. So for customers who are looking for a competitive advantage, engagement should be a primary consideration.
