Focusing on employee engagement

Work conducted with: A unit within Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (now Department for Business Innovation and Skills)

In 2008, Affinity Health at Work were asked to undertake a programme of work to tackle declining rates of employee engagement for a unit within a central Government department. This project took a four stage process:

• Initial preparation, involving gaining familiarity with the particular department and existing materials and data
• Data gathering to understand staff views on problems and solutions. As the issue was of a lack of engagement, all staff were involved either in focus groups or in one to one interviews
• Production of a written report with findings and recommendations
• Attendance and involvement at various events with both senior management and staff to disseminate the findings and support the development of action plans
