    IMPROVE EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT WITH GALLUP Q12®

Productivity issue

Let’s put our hands on our heart: there’s no company that does not struggle with performance issues in their operation. Research studies confirm that the level of employee engagement has the biggest impact on productivity.

Despite the enormous efforts companies had put into improving employee engagement they achieved moderate results: the latest research on employee engagement has yielded that only 23% of employees are actively engaged.

Data show that when CxOs intend to address their companies' efficiency and performance KPIs, they can not neglect the level of engagement as it is the primary driver to organizational productivity.

Gallup Q12®

The World's Leading Employee Engagement Survey

Gallup has analyzed over 3.3 Million workers across 100,000+ teams and identified the core conditions high-performing teams need to thrive.


The survey consists of twelve statements which show the highest correlation to employee engagement. We might think that this is a small number when it comes to such a multidimensional issue as employee engagement. However, the questionnaire is based on only the most relevant statements, that show the highest correlation to employee engagement and organizational effectiveness.


While some other aspects may be important to you or you believe can play a role, Q12® measures the most impactful items of engagement. Anyway, you still can tailor your survey questions further to extract valuable insights that lead to better business outcomes.

How to improve engagement

Gallup has tracked employee engagement across thousands of organizations globally using its engagement survey which measures employees’ perspectives that are highly predictive of team performance and provides actionable insights for managers.

Turn data into performance

The Gallup Q12® survey has become a cornerstone in measuring engagement, it is based on more than 30 years of in-depth behavioural economic research involving more than 35 million people and validated on the largest employee population ever.

Benchmark with competitors

The survey is centered around core business elements that have proven to be the most effective survey questions for measuring employee engagement, providing employers with a wide variety of benchmarks for increasing employee engagement levels and reaching company goals.

Run your engagement survey with us

You may say that you measure your employee engagement differently, but no other measure is proven to link to performance like the Q12®.  Many employers use surveys to sample employees’ opinions but either they fail to challenge providers about their measurement method or worse they fabricate an own one without considering its relevance. Most of  the self-made surveys simply fail to predict performance (they measure employee engagement the wrong way), no wonder why the initiatives implemented almost have no effect.

We focus on the major driver of Employee Engagement:

Contrary to the mainstream belief it is not HR’s task to deal with employee engagement, it should be a manager’s primary responsibility. Gallup found that Managers account for 70% of the variance in team employee engagement. That’s why our employee engagement program provides insights and actions primarily for them.
