FOUR STAGES OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

In addition to discovering the 12 items, Gallup also found that the order of the items is important. The 12 items represent the four stages of a hierarchy that an employee goes through on the path to complete engagement. Items 1 and 2 represent employees’ primary needs. When employees start a new role, their needs are basic. They ask, “What do I get from this role?”

In the second stage, encompassing items 3 through 6, employees think about their own individual contributions and consider how others view and value their efforts. Manager support is most important here because managers typically define perceptions of value.

Once employees advance through the first two stages of the hierarchy, their perspective begins to widen and they evaluate their connection to the team and the organization. In the third stage, encompassing items 7 through 10, employees ask themselves, “Do I belong?” Then, during the fourth and most advanced stage, composed of items 11 and 12, employees want to make improvements, learn, grow, innovate, and apply their new ideas.

The four stages help managers evaluate workgroup performance and concentrate their efforts on areas most relevant to where their team is at on the journey to complete engagement.

ENGAGEMENT CATEGORIES

1 Engaged employees work with

passion and feel a profound

connection to their company.

They drive innovation and move the

organization forward.

2 Not Engaged employees are

essentially “checked out.” They’re

sleepwalking through their workday,

putting time — but not energy or passion —

into their work.

3 Actively Disengaged employees

aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re

busy acting out their unhappiness.

Every day, these workers undermine what

their engaged coworkers accomplish.
