Employee engagment

A successful business will be one that innovates and adapts for the future. Companies must tailor their culture by implementing talent practices that highlight their employees' needs. Help your employees thrive as the world of work changes by learning what they need to enage, perform, and stay.

In July 2021, SHRM launched its new Employee Engagement Survey, powered by Workforce Science Associates (WSA) and Qualtrics.

This partnership means SHRM's employee engagement survey clients will implement WSA's proven best practice content with access to the most robust and scientifically valid employee survey benchmarks in the world, drawn from over 15.7 million employees annually. WSA's content and normative database for SHRM customers will be powered by Qualtrics, the world's #1 experience management provider and creator of the experience management (XM) category.

WSA's content and benchmarks allow companies to measure what matters most to their employees, receive reliable comparisons to other companies they compete with for talent, and identify focused actions to increase employee engagement. SHRM customers may also leverage exclusive pricing on WSA's consulting services for support with survey design, analysis, and post-survey action planning to move the needle on workforce performance.

At SHRM, our mission is to create better workplaces for a better world. Partnering with WSA assists SHRM in accomplishing that mission by working to contribute to the engagement of all employees
