Ask your employees to score these 8 statements on a scale from ‘strongly disagree’ to ‘strongly agree.’

1. I am really enthusiastic about the mission of my company.
2. At work, I clearly understand what is expected of me.
3. In my team, I am surrounded by people who share my values.
4. I have the chance to use my strengths every day at work.
5. My teammates have my back.
6. I know I will be recognized for excellent work.
7. I have great confidence in my company’s future.
8. In my work, I am always challenged to grow.

The more strongly your employees agree with these statements, the more engaged your workforce is.

The statements with the lowest levels of agreement are the ones you should focus on improving to increase engagement.
