Valtera Announces Innovative Employee Engagement Survey

Rolling Meadows, IL (March 18, 2008) – Companies looking to increase organizational performance and gain a competitive edge will benefit from Valtera’s new Employee Engagement Survey, a complete survey administration and reporting solution.

Building from decades of expert research, Valtera—a leading provider of human capital consulting solutions—developed a set of survey items that truly measures engagement among employees. Proven among large companies with employee populations of 10,000 or more, the survey measures employee attitudes and actions that directly contribute to organizational success.

“We’ve long had the ability to help some of the country’s largest and greatest companies, but we’ve seen an increasing need among small and mid-sized companies for solutions to address engagement,” explains Karen Barbera, Senior VP and Managing Principal of Valtera. “Our new offering is affordable for firms of all sizes and provides insightful data on which to build a program to raise employee engagement.”

The Valtera Engagement Survey is a turnkey solution with built-in flexibility, allowing firms to quickly establish their survey program while also tailoring the solution to their specific organizational needs. The system measures employee engagement, development, integrity, leadership, supervision, teamwork and more. Also included are topics such as trust & fairness, work/life balance, diversity, performance management, and satisfaction with the company.

“We view the recent focus on employee engagement as a fundamental and important business shift, not just a buzzword,” said Scott Young, Managing Consultant at Valtera. “Our research shows that an engaged workforce delivers a competitive advantage, one that is difficult for competitors to quickly replicate.”

Other key features of the engagement survey include:

• Premier Content: Measure engagement meaningfully, using proprietary content with demonstrated business impact.
• Normative Data: Aspire to excellence by comparing scores to those attained by companies that Fortune Magazine cites as “Most Admired” and “Best to Work For.”
• Flexibility: Select from a range of options to configure a solution that fits organizational requirements.
• Affordability: Realize the best value from using a proven survey and a standard process.
