Employee Engagement is the mean score (out of five) of employee survey questions.

BC Hydro moved the Employee Survey from February to November to better align the timing with other work demands. The survey was not conducted in fiscal 2007 as there was insufficient time to take action to demonstrate meaningful results since the survey was last conducted in February 2006. BC Hydro selected Employee Engagement as its key Employee Survey measure which reflects how employees are engaged (have the motivation, resources, alignment and capability) to do their work well. Employee Engagement is also a measure consistently recognized as a benchmark for Top Employers and will facilitate BC Hydro in reaching this goal.

The overall engagement score increased from 3.33 to 3.36. A notable improvement was the employee commitment sub index score which increased significantly from 3.69 in fiscal 2006 to 3.86 in fiscal 2008. While the engagement increase falls short of the 3.50 target for fiscal 2008, the improvements in employee engagement and commitment are significant in light of the magnitude of organizational change that has occurred since the last survey was undertaken (e.g. addition of 1,000 new staff, business group reorganization and new initiatives).
