Factors of employee engagement

Internal communication is a driving factor for employee engagement and job satisfaction. Communication within an organization, and between employees, creates shared knowledge, values, and meaning. High-quality internal communication also helps cultivate positive relationships in the workplace (Karanges et al., 2014).

It is one of the 15 drivers in the scientific Employee Happiness Model®.

Improve employee engagement through te 15 drivers of the Employee Happiness Model

It is important to gain insight into what makes your employees enthusiastic, happy and productive. What are their motives? You can find this out by scanning the 15 factors of engagement. But you can’t do everything at once. So first focus on the theme where you think the most impact can be achieved, simply or quickly!

Employee Happiness Model > theme organization

This theme is about the core of the organization and how the company uses the same clear communication message and style for all internal and external stakeholders. This message must be coherent, credible and represent the values of the company.

By measuring how satisfied employees are with the four drivers in this theme, you will discover to what extent they feel connected and identify with the organization (and how you can improve this).

See how it works!

  Did you know that 60% of companies do not have a long-term strategy for their internal communication.
