Strong Relationship Found Between Employee Engagement and Performance Evaluations

Sept. 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Chicago, IL – September 8, 2010 – A recent study conducted by HR Solutions has shown a positive correlation between Employee Engagement and performance evaluations.  According to HR Solutions’ national database, there is a strong relationship between one’s level of Engagement and one’s performance evaluation rating.  The data reveals a significant disparity based on Engagement levels.  Thus, employees who receive the best performance rating are the most Engaged in their workplace based on the results of their Employee Engagement/Opinion Survey.  

To reach these findings, HR Solutions correlated 117,868 of its clients’ annual performance evaluation scores with corresponding Employee Engagement survey scores.  Nearly 80 percent of Engaged employees received the best performance rating on their annual evaluations compared to approximately 55 percent of Disengaged employees who obtained the worst performance rating.  This direct relationship between Employee Engagement and performance evaluations very likely portends great things for employees who are truly Engaged, such as greater prospects for promotions, recognition, salary increases, and benefit perks.
