This article introduces the Engagement Diagnostic, a scientifically designed tool that measures employee engagement with efficiency and accuracy.

Overview

The Engagement Diagnostic assesses the degree to which employees feel valued, inspired, and connected to their roles and the wider organization. It examines employees’ long-term commitment, their dedication to organizational success, and their likelihood of staying with the company. The diagnostic also measures willingness to recommend the organization as a great place to work, offering valuable insights into employee advocacy and satisfaction.

Unlike full-scale engagement surveys, the Engagement Diagnostic is a quick and effective add-on tool. It uncovers underlying drivers of engagement or disengagement, pinpointing areas where employees may feel disconnected or undervalued. This allows organizations to take targeted actions to strengthen engagement and improve workplace culture.

The diagnostic can be used independently or alongside other Deeper Signals tools, such as the Core Values Diagnostic and the Core Drivers Diagnostic, to create a comprehensive understanding of employee motivation, satisfaction, and productivity.


Assessment Scope

The Engagement Diagnostic measures critical elements of employee engagement, ensuring clear, concise, and actionable insights. Its five subscales provide a structured view of engagement drivers:

  • Meaning: The extent to which employees find their work meaningful and purposeful.

  • Commitment: The level of dedication employees have toward their organization and its goals.

  • Advocacy: Employees’ willingness to recommend their organization as a great place to work.

  • Discretionary Effort: The degree to which employees are willing to go above and beyond their job requirements.

  • Recognition: The extent to which employees feel valued and appreciated for their contributions.

Together, these dimensions offer a nuanced understanding of the emotional and professional connections employees build with their workplace.


Why It Stands Out

The Engagement Diagnostic is designed with a concise format, allowing employees to complete it quickly without compromising accuracy or reliability. Its conversational language ensures accessibility and engagement, while its psychometric rigor guarantees robust and actionable insights. By focusing on what truly drives engagement, the tool equips organizations to foster belonging, recognition, and long-term commitment across their workforce.
