MHS Association Employee Engagement Assessment

Employees are the most important asset of an organization and their satisfaction at work is a key indicator of the success of the organization. Initiating a well-designed engagement assessment can be an effective way to gain a whole population view on the state of employee satisfaction within the organization. The assessment provides critical feedback to the CEO and potentially increases early identification of any areas that need clarification. MHS Association recommends that this tool not be used in isolation, but rather that it exists alongside a plan for communicating the results with employees, and a plan to ensure the assessment results are used to strengthen the organization’s communication, collaboration, and celebration with employees. MHS Association recommends at least 9-12 weeks to complete the assessment process.
