In order to increase employee engagement, a step by step method has been suggested. The first level is tactical and this one is slightly outmoded. By this, the company gets feedback on its work through annual employee surveys. These take time and only look backwards and where things went wrong rather than predicting on the spot how things can be improved. Stage two involves a response driven scenario where employee feedback is solicited not annually but post major events such as promotions, holidays or management training sessions. At the third stage, the management is able to take informed decisions as it now has applied business analytics to gauge what exactly employees and how best those points may be resolved. The best and most productive way in modern times is the one based around foresight. This emerges from highly engaged employees who give timely feedback themselves rather than waiting for formal appraisals. A major cultural evolution is required for companies to reach this stage.
