EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY - 2008Dear Colleague,

The HR Department is carrying out an Employee Engagement Survey.

Before we get into the Survey per se, we feel it appropriate to clarify to you the meaning of employee engagement, its facets and its components.

Employee Engagement means the extent to which an employee believes in the mission, purpose and values of an organization and demonstrates that commitment through his actions as an employee and his attitude towards the employer and customers. Employee Engagement is high when the statements and conversations held reflect a natural enthusiasm for the Company, its employees and their products or services provided.

Employee Engagement is made up of three components viz. Cognitive (Think), Emotional (Feel) and Behavioral (Act). ‘Cognitive’ pertains to the belief that an employee has about his Company and its values. ‘Emotional’ represents the feeling an employee has about his colleagues and supervisors. ‘Behavioral’ is what the employee exhibits at work commitment.

Employee Engagement would include aspects like Employee Communication, Leadership, Team Work, Pride of Working, Employee Welfare, Employee Empowerment, Rewards & Recognitions, Energy & Drive to Work, Work Pressure, Improvement Opportunities, Company Quality & Standards, Openness, Management Practice, Decision-Making, Company Image & Reputation, Company Growth, Work Balance, HR Policies & Role, Culture of the Organization, Planning, Clarity of Company Goals et al.

The aim of this Survey is to measure Employee Engagement in SIRF, to ascertain strengths and areas of concern on the various aspects highlighted through this exercise and work out & implement actions for effecting improvement.

The Survey is sought to be carried out by means of the foregoing Questionnaire designed for the purpose. All employees at the level of Junior Executive and above will participate in the Survey.

The Questionnaire seeks to capture some of the aspects of Employee Engagement. Each of the questions is followed by a set of options. Participants are required to carefully study each question and tick ( ) the response they consider most appropriate based on their immediate feeling and experience. Participants should tick only one option. All questions should be answered. While responding to the questions, participants are expected to be honest and frank since this will have a bearing on the authenticity of the results of the Survey.

Since this is a time-bound Survey, participants are earnestly requested to complete their responses to the questionnaire and return the same positively on or before 15th April 2008.

We look forward to your honest & quick response and thank you for your support & cooperation in participating in this Survey.
