EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

DEFINITION

Employee engagement definitions vary from “a positive emotional connection to

an employee’s work” to “engaged employees are inspired to go above and beyond the

call of duty to help meet business goals”

Employee engagement is the level of commitment and involvement an employee

has towards their organization and its values. In essence, companies strive for engaged

employees because they are those who work longer hours, try harder, accoplish more and

speak positvely about their organizations.

Employee engagement is one step ahead of employee satisfaction. Employee is

not only satisfied with the management decisions, salary and things but also giving back

to the organization in terms of commitment, dedication, and loyalty.

Engagement is the energy, passion, or fire in the belly employees have for their

employer

Stay : Desire to be a member of the organization

Say : Speak positively about the organization

Strive : Go beyond what is minimally required

LEVELS OF EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

There are three levels of Employee Engagement

1. Engaged employees

2. Not engaged employees

3. Actively disengaged employees

Engaged employees work with passion and feel a profound connection to their

company. They drive innovation and move the organization forward.

Not Engaged employees are essentially “checked out”. They’re sleepwalking

through their workday, putting time – but not energy or passion – into their work.

Actively disengaged employees aren’t just unhappy at work; they’re busy acting

out their happiness. Every day, these workers undermine what their engaged coworkers

accomplish.

DIAGNOSTIC TOOL FOR EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT INCLUDE -

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM-

Current studies show that organizations are focusing on the meaning of employee

engagement and how to make employees more engaged. Employees feel engaged when

they find personal meaning and motivation in their work, receive positive interpersonal

support, and operate in an efficient work environment. What brought engagement to the

forefront and why is everyone interested in it? Most likely, the tight economy has

refocused attention on maximizing employee output and making the most of

organizational resources. When organizations focus attention on their people, they are

making an investment in their most important resource. You can cut all the costs you

want, but if you neglect your people, cutting costs won’t make much of a difference.

Engagement is all about getting employees to “give it their all.” Some of the most

successful organizations are known for their unique work environments in which

employees are motivated to do their very best. These great places to work have been

recognized in such lists as Fortune’s 100 Best Companies to Work For.

The concept of engagement is a natural evolution of past research on high-

involvement, empowerment, job motivation, organizational commitment, and trust. All of

these research streams focus on the perceptions and attitudes of employees about the

work environment. In some ways, there are variations on the same fundamental issue.

What predicts employees “giving their all?” Obviously, all organizations want their

employees to be engaged in their work.

Several standardized tools exist for assessing employee engagement and

providing feedback for making changes. These tools tend to have several common goals

and characteristics:

CREATE A SIMPLE AND FOCUSED INDEX OF

WORKPLACE ENGAGEMENT -

Many organizations are using very short, simple, and easy to use measures

that focus on the fundamentals of a great workplace. Instead of conducting broad

culture/climate surveys with 100 or more questions, organizations are opting for a

focused approach that measures fundamental qualities of the workplace that likely

will be important 10 years from now (e.g., feedback, trust, cooperation).

ALLOW FOR BENCHMARKING -

Most organizations want to know how they compare to other organizations. Using

a standard measure of engagement allows organizations to see how they compare to other

companies along a simple set of fundamental work qualities.

DIRECT ACTION -

Engagement measures tend to be very actionable. This means that the

organization can alter practices or policies to affect employees’ responses to every item

in the measure.

SHOW RELATIONSHIP TO COMPANY PERFORMANCE-

Without a link to company performance or other critical outcomes, measures of

engagement have little value. The whole idea behind engagement is that it leads to

enhanced performance. The link to performance outcomes is a necessary underlying

assumption of all engagement measures.

ENGAGEMENT PREDICTS ORGANIZATIONAL SUCCESS

Many studies have shown that investments in people (i.e., HR-related practices)

have a reliable impact on the performance of organizations. The Bureau of Labour

conducted a comprehensive review of more than 100 studies and found that people

practices have significant relationships to improvements in productivity, satisfaction, and

financial performance. Research has shown that when engagement scores are high,

employees are more satisfied, less likely to leave the organization, and more productive.

Each organization is different and there are many factors that affect bottom-line

outcomes; however, engagement scores can serve as meaningful predictors of long-term

success. Some organizations use engagement scores as lead measures in their HR

scorecards. When an organization can show the relationship between engagement scores

and bottom-line outcomes, everyone pays attention to the engagement index. Establishing

this critical link between people and performance helps HR professionals prove that

people-related interventions are a worthwhile investment.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Key Outcomes.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

“Research is a careful investigation or inquiry specially through search for new

facts in any branch of knowledge”.

Research methodology is a science of collecting , identified & presenting facts in such

way that it leads to uncertain some truths or angles of reality. It is a systematic effort to

gain new knowledge.

TYPES OF RESEARCH-

In the study of employee engagement Descriptive research is used. Descriptive

research is carried out for the the purpose of collective descriptive information like

employees opinion, benefits, personal details, awareness etc.

RESEARCH DESIGN-

“ Research design is the arrangement of the conditions for collection and analysis

of data in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy

in procedure”.

METHODOLOGY-

To measure the employee engagement and satisfaction, first sample size is made.

As the manpower in Apollo Tyres Limited is 4229, and 1057 per shift. Therefore

10 % of the general shift is considered as the sample size. So sample is 100.

Questionnaire is made and on the basis of that results are analysed.

Thus after the completion of this survey the analysis and interpretation are done

The sample questionnaire is shown here,

LIMITATIONS-

1.Limited time duration.

2.Busy schedules of the workers/ employee.

3. Mostly workers were not giving the answer of the questionnaire.

4. The program for employee engagement which was conducted cover a short period of

time. It is impossible to surface all the aspect of the programs.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION

The survey clearly indicates that, the man power is more in the age group of 30- 40 years, i.e they are satisfied with the working environment.

More experienced workers are their, who are bound with the firm since last 10 to 15 years, which means mostly the people are adapted with the culture of the organization.

People are highly passionate about achieving the goals of the company, and they consider

the company’s growth to be their individual growth.

Bazaar growth story is an ideal example of the expansion of the hypermarket format

in the Indian subcontinent.

Today, Big Bazaar provides a platform for over 15,000 small, medium and large

producers and manufacturers to sell their products to Indian consumers.

In a more recent move Future Group merged its largest business unit, Future Value

Retail, which houses Big Bazaar and Food Bazaar, with Pantaloons Retail, a listed

company that runs the group‘s smaller retail operations. This move is expected to

reduce operating costs and restore investor confidence

(www.economictimes.indiatimes.com).

But what remains same is the target audience of the brand ―the value seeking middle

apparel make up for about 30% of the overall revenue. The remaining 30% comes

from the other units such as electronics.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Future Retail (India) Limited was incorporated as Manz Wear Private Limited in the year

1987. It became a public limited company in 1991 and was renamed Pantaloon Fashions

(India) Limited and then Pantaloon Retail (India) limited in 1999. Over the years the

company has accelerated growth through its ability to manage change. It integrated

backwards into garment manufacturing and expanded its retail network at the same time.

It launched three successful brands – Pantaloon trouser bar denims and John Miller shirts

between 1987 and 1993.

The company introduced the concept of The Pantaloon Shoppe, an exclusive men’s wear

retail store, which expanded across India from 1994-1998 . In the year 1997, Pantaloon

moved to large format lifestyle retailing with the launch of Pantaloons India’s family

Store. Pantaloon has grown to a 29 store network and occupies 263,000 sq ft of the retail

space. They contributed Rs 174 crores to the total turnover of the company.

The management was aware that in retail, size mattered. The business revolved around

volumes. Lifestyles retailing did not rally provide these volumes the volumes came from

the large Indian middle class market that was waiting to be tapped. Big Bazaar – the

discount store — was launched in the year 2001, to meet the aspirations of he middle

class. In a short span of two years it had added a Food Bazaar and Gold Bazaar to its

ranges of offerings.

Market environment

At the time of the launch of Big Bazaar there was no real precedent in the Indian market

Giants the RPG hypermarkets had opened in Hyderabad only two months prior to the

launch of Big Bazaar. A western model had to be adapted to suit the needs of the Indian

environment various local markets and local market leaders were studied. This was done

to understand the product mix and the prices offered. One of the key discount retailers

studied was Sarvanna Stores in Chennai.

FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT

1. CONSUMER PRODUCTS:

Consumer products are products and services bought by final consumers for personal

consumption: Marketers usually classify these products and services further based on

how consumers go about buying them. Consumer products include convenience

products, shopping products, speciality products, and unsought products. These

products differ in the ways consumers buy them and therefore in how they are

marketed.

a) Convenience Products : are consumer products and services that the

customer usually buys frequently, immediately, and with a minimum of

comparison and buying effort. Examples include soap, candy, newspapers, and

fast food. Convenience products are usually low priced, and marketers place them

in many locations to make them readily available when customers need them.

b) Shopping Products: are less-frequently-purchased consumer products and

services that customers compare carefully on suitability, quality, price, and style.

When buying shopping products and services consumers spend much time and

effort in gathering information and making comparisons, Examples include

furniture, clothing, used cars, major appliances, and hotel and airline services,

shopping products marketers usually distribute their products through fewer

outlets but provide deeper sales support to help customers in their comparison

efforts.

c) Speciality Products: are consumer products and services with unique

characteristics or brand identification for which a significant group of buyers is

willing to make a special purchase effort, Example include specific brands and

types of cars, high priced photographic equipment, designer clothes, and services

of medical or legal specialists. A Lamborghini automobile, for example, is a

specialty products because buyers are usually willing to travel great distances to

buy one.

2. INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS:

Industrial products are those purchased for further processing or for use in

conducting a business. Thus, the distinction between a consumer product and an

industrial product is based on the purpose for which the product is bought. If the

same consumer buys the same lawn mower for use in a landscaping business, the

lawn mower is an industrial product.

The three groups of industrial products and services include

Materials and parts,

Capital items, and

Supplies and services,

Material consist of farm products (wheat, cotton, livestock, fruits, vegetable) etc., and

natural products (fish, lumber, crude petroleum, iron ore). Manufactured materials

and parts consist of component materials (iron, yarn, cement, wires) and component

parts small motors, tires, castings.

MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR VARIOUS PRODUCTS:

1. Convenience Products:

Price: convenience products are usually low priced goods.

Distribution/Place: the distribution is widespread and the products are made to be available easily. Convenient locations are also very essential.

Promotion: the promotion activities are usually mass promotion by the producer.

Examples: toothpaste, magazines.

2. Shopping Products:

Price: shopping products are usually high priced goods.

Distribution/Place: the distribution is selective and there are fewer outlets.

Promotion: the promotion activities are usually advertising and personal selling by both producer and resellers.

Examples: televisions, furniture.

3. Specialty Products:

Price: specialty products are usually high priced goods.

Distribution/Place: the distribution is exclusive and there are fewer outlets per market area.

Promotion: the promotion activities are more carefully targeted these activities are carried on by both producer and resellers.

Examples: Rolex watches, fine crystal. 16

(14% of India's population).

India two: Serving class which includes people like drivers, household helps, office

peons, liftmen, washer men, etc. (55% of India's population) and

India three: Struggling class (remaining 31% of India's population).

Schemes and innovations

WEDNESDAY BAZAAR:

The concept of Wednesday Bazaar was promoted as ‗HafteKaSabseSasta Din‘

(Cheapest Day of the Week). Initiated in January 2007, the idea behind this scheme

was to draw customers to stores on Wednesdays, the day when consumer presence is

usually less. According to the chain, the aim of the concept was ‗to give homemakers

the power to save the most‘.

MAHABACHAT:

The concept of ‗MahaBachat‘ (Mega Saving) was introduced in the year 2006 as a

single day campaign with attractive promotional offers across the company outlets.

Over the years, the concept has grown to become a six-day biannual campaign.

During this campaign, attractive offers are given in all the value formats including

Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, Electronic Bazaar and Furniture Bazaar.

THE GREAT EXCHANGE OFFER:

Introduced on February 12, 2009, ‗The Great Exchange Offer‘ allows customers to

exchange their old goods for Big Bazaar coupons. The coupons can be redeemed later

for buying brand new goods from Big Bazaar outlets across the nation.

Advertising campaigns and marketing initiatives After completing ten years of

operation in India Big Bazaar India revamped its logo and appeal with a new brand

campaign ―Naye India Ka Bazaar‖ Big Bazaar Old logo New Logo 20

The inspiration for the new ad campaign comes from an ancient Jain custom of

‗Michchami Dukkadam‘, which translates into colloquial language as ‗Bhool-

chook maaf‘ or ‗Please forgive me if I have offended you knowingly or

inadvertently.

. In view of the increasing competition in the retail market, Big Bazaar has introduced

certain steps to keep itself updated and continue promoting the brand.

On the occasion of successful completion of 10 years in the Indian retail industry (in

2011) Big Bazaar came up with a new logo for the company with a new tag line that

says: ‗Naye India Ka Bazaar‘ (Market for New India). This replaces the earlier tag

line: ‗IsseSastaAurKahinNahin‘ (Nothing is Cheaper than Here).

ADVERTISING INITIATIVES

Big Bazaar has recently launched a 360-degree promotion drive covering the three

prime media, television, print and social media, to mark the launch of the new logo.

The entire media campaign was developed by Mudra Communications.

The band also roped in Cricket Player M. S. Dhoni and Sin as their Brand

Ambassadors in year 2009

Big Bazaar is portrayed as a value store and visual merchandising is purposely not

done according to International standards. Stores are designed to accommodate heavy

crowds and has organized kind of ―Chaos‖ and ―Chaotic Layout‖Storefocusses on

using attractive drop down banners and price synagogues.

Another concepts used in Big Bazaar stores are ―Bin Baskets‖ install near the cash

counters where any kind of product can be placed be it cosmetics of mobiles. These

Bin Baskets accounts for nearly 1%-2% of average store sales .

Best store campaigning has also moved focus to Furniture and electronic items.

Television stars SakshiTanwar and Ram Kapoor were ropped in to promote Big

Bazaar Stylish Home contest in 2013

. BIG BAZAAR – HOME CONTEST

its Tesco Value to its Tesco Finest ranges.This was successful, and saw the chain
