CIPD PROJECT PROPOSAL Form 3
PROPOSAL FORM
Name:
Proposed Title of Report: Employee Engagement and the effect on the organisation.
Background of the organisation and outline of the research project under investigation, including identification of the aims and objectives and what the added value will be for the organisation (AC 2.1)
The organisation is split into 7 regions throughout the UK and employees over 1000 people in order to support the charitable output. The region underwent regionalisation 18 months ago, in which 7 different counties went from doing everything in 7 individual ways, into one region with 7 different functions operating in accordance with guidelines from National Headquarters. This has proved to be a challenging time for the employees and after a year and half of change, their physical, mental and emotional outlook would have changed. Employees are one of the most important factors in the success of the organisation and we need to ensure that we are looking after them to the best of our ability.
I propose to conduct a research project looking at employee engagement and how this effects the organisation. This is also important as new guidelines from the Care Quality Commission have stated that all future inspections will encompass an overview of the organisation as a whole, and employee engagement will be past of this.
From the SWOT analysis I have carried out (see appendix 1), I can see that there are a large number of strengths and weaknesses. The strengths detailed shows that the organisation already has some good tools in place in regards to employee engagement, providing they are being utilised properly.
The weaknesses listed all play a part in a decline in the concept of employee engagement, which could provide an adverse effect on the organisation.
The CIPD defines employee engagement as:
“Being positively present during the performance of work by willingly contributing intellectual effort, experiencing positive emotions and meaningful
