The many contexts of employee engagement

July 20, 2017

Employee responses to the four Employee Engagement Index questions presented in this report were gathered as part of the WorkTrends™ survey by IBM which has been administered annually or biannually since 1984. In 2012, the WorkTrends survey was taken online by approximately 33,000 employees in 28 different countries who work full-time for an organization of 100 staff members or more. The survey asks employees more than 200 employee opinion questions about employee, manager and leadership behaviors, organizational practices and processes, and demographic variables. WorkTrends data are unique because they are a representative sample a cross section of workers across the globe, which allows us to generalize our conclusions to the broader working population
