Approach
In 2005, Mercer established an employee engagement survey, The Singapore Public Sector Employee Engagement Survey (PS EES) for 20+ agencies The survey yielded 3,743 data points, sampled from 46 individual public sector agencies Regression analysis was conducted to identify key drivers to engagement Overall engagement was measured by the following four questions:
I am proud to work for my organization I would recommend my organization to others Given a choice, how much longer will I be working for my organization How satisfied am I with my organization at the present time
11 engagement categories
Leadership / Climate Job Motivation Engagement Supervisory Practices Learning & Development Rewards Career Advancement Teamwork Job Growth Workload

Key takeaways
Compensation is important, but it isnt everything and for the Singapore Civil Service it didnt factor significantly in the results for most levels of the workforce. In order to increase levels of engagement, managers need to understand the drivers of engagement. Are your employees satisfied, motivated, committed or an advocate for the Hong Kong Civil Service? What can you do to help improve your employees engagement? Key drivers of engagement may vary from industries, organization contexts, and from country to country: do you know what is driving or eroding your employee engagement? Managers can take an active role in engaging the workforce through various non-financial means leading to better performance and happier employees who advocate for the government and the public.
