There is an old proverb, "ask and you shall receive". These days, the proverb might be more aptly changed to, "give and you shall receive". In today's working environment, organizations must increase their dedication to staff and levels of leadership if they wish to achieve employee commitment. Employee commitment is not bought with a salary (nor is it expected), but rather earned through the actions of the people who lead the organization."

For employees, commitment is based on a number of factors:
  •     Sufficiency of pay, benefits and rewards
  •     Family oriented policies and actions
  •     Quality of the supervisory relationship
  •     Favorable developmental training and experiences
  •     Promotions
  •     Clearly stated guidelines defining appropriate work behavior and job demands
  •     Participation in goal setting
  •     Receipt of performance feedback
  •     Supportive communications with immediate supervisors and upper management
  •     Procedural justice in performance-appraisal decisions
  •     Evaluative and objective measures of performance

When these things are in place, employees are willing to work harder, perform duties beyond requirements, remain in their organization for a longer period of time, and even have fewer absences from work.

Employee commitment is defined as staff being continually motivated to achieve results and satisfied to see their future with the organization over time. The benefits of such commitment are clear. But how do organizations gain and support the commitment of its people?

In order to ensure that company ideology remains the living breath of the organization, it is vital to be able to measure commitment, taking on board feedback and gauging subtle organizational changes. Without measurement, an organization cannot find the gaps in commitment and improve.

With this in mind, we have an Employee Commitment Questionnaire that assesses employee commitment. This will serve to give you a better understanding of what your employees need to be more effective in their position, how you can improve your working relationship, and how committed they are to their role in your clinic.
