Engagement Survey

Woba's Engagement Survey

Woba has developed The Ultimate Engagement Survey, which is based on various international studies in employee engagement, employee well-being and retention. Among other things. The Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale (MWMS). See explanation below.

In order to both limit and concretize the question frame, Woba has chosen to only include indicators (questions, ed.) which prove to have a significant impact on, for example, employees' intention to leave their workplace, greater general job satisfaction, lower sickness absence and higher engagement in the the work. Together, these parameters mean that you can easily and in real time measure the financial return of your subsequent actions. For example, the human and financial savings of lower sickness absence and higher well-being derived from your efforts.

Thus, Woba's engagement survey only asks about factors that have science behind them, and which are critically necessary to focus on when companies work strategically, purposefully and data-driven with HR efforts and people analytics.
