Hello Anjali:

What management/business/employee problem do you want to fix?
Employee Satisfaction Surveys are often presumed to measure employee engagement and employee engagement is what all managers should be striving to achieve but we cannot measure employee engagement with an employee satisfaction survey.
Employee engagement and employee satisfaction are two different things.
Employee engagement is what we get when an employee is motivated by the job and is successful in the job and is well managed by the supervisor and paid fairly by management.
Employee satisfaction is what we get when we give employees things they want whether or not they are engaged by their jobs.
If we work to satisfy our employees we may well decrease employee engagement because we will be focusing on the wrong things.
A few things to consider.

A few things to consider.
· Good employees who are successful and managed and paid well will be engaged even if not fully satisfied.
· Good employees who are successful but not managed well or paid well will not be engaged and will not be satisfied.
· Bad employees who are unsuccessful even though they are well managed and well paid will not be engaged even if fully satisfied.

Hi Anjali, Are you looking out for an external agency or do you want to implement this yourself? Regards, Imran.

Thank you Mr. Gately,
Now i understand the differnce between Employee engagement and Employee Satisfaction. Satisfaction can not be measured until and unless it is related with Employee engagement and performance.
I am working in Retail Format, as u know attrition is high, salary package is one of the reason of the staff to leave from one organization to other.
But there are staff who stay with one organization for 2-3 yrs.
What made them to stay back? It can be personal reason but I want to identify how can we retain good people without hampering their growth and without increasing the cost.
I want to know What made these people stay in one organization for so long?
Why others are not satisfied? Where are we lacking? How can we improvise?
Please revert.

Hello Anjali,
Bob Gatley has hit the nail on the head, as the saying goes. If you are trying to find out why some stay and why some leave, then carry out an exploratory survey with a few employees that have stayed and that exit (if you can conduct an exit interview or if you have access to them after they leave). Once you analyse the qualitative responses, you could then prepare a questionnaire and survey other employees' views.
Here is a ref to a questionnaire on Emploee Engagement

Hello Anjali:
>Thank you Mr. Gately,<
You are welcome and call me Bob, it saves keystrokes.
>Now i understand the difference between Employee engagement and Employee Satisfaction. Satisfaction can not be measured until and unless it is related with Employee engagement and performance.<
Yes, once we have an engaged workforce, which is another way of saying the managers are doing their jobs well, we can then concentrate on employee satisfaction.
>I am working in Retail Format, as u know attrition is high, salary package is one of the reason of the staff to leave from one organization to other.<
When departing employees are asked why they are leaving they almost always say money, benefits, opportunities, etc. The question we need to ask is why were they looking to leave? Engaged employees are much less likely to leave than unengaged employees.
>But there are staff who stay with one organization for 2-3 yrs.<
These employee hold the key that unlocks the door to increased retention.
>What made them to stay back?<
More than likely they had a talent for the job.
>It can be personal reason but I want to identify how can we retain good people without hampering their growth and without increasing the cost.<
Hire for talent.
>I want to know What made these people stay in one organization for so long?<
A good job fit--they had the talent for the job.
>Why others are not satisfied? Where are we lacking? How can we improvise?<
We cannot increase an employee's talent but we can find them a more suitable positions.
