Many organizations decide to do an employee engagement survey inspired by Pearson’s Law. Karl Pearson (1857–1936) was an influential English mathematician who is credited for coining the phrase “That which is measured improves. That which is measured and reported improves exponentially." But can an employee survey alone increase employee engagement? Unfortunately, no, it can’t. An employee engagement survey isn’t magic, in that it won’t suddenly transform your company’s employees into super-engaged machines. To actually increase engagement, your company and its managers must plan and take actions to improve scores.
