Gallup’s Employee Engagement MeasuresMAXIMIZING EMPLOYEES’ PERFORMANCEGallup has measured the engagement of morethan 6.4 million employees globally from hundredsof organizations and companies.Workplace engagement is an important driver ofoverall wellbeing and is the leading indicator oforganizational performance such as higherprofitability and better financial outcomes.Gallup’s Q12 instrument measures an individual’semotional connection to and investment in theirjob. The 12 engagement elements function likeMaslow's hierarchy of needs, with basic needs thatmust be fulfilled before employees can progress.To reduce response burden for PFW’ssurvey, the 12 elements were reducedto three elements that correlate highlywith the full Q12 index:Q03. Do what I do bestevery dayQ06. Someone at workencourages mydevelopmentQ07. At work, my opinionsseem to count11Copyright 1993-1998, 2020 Gallup, Inc.

Engagement IndexGallup categorizes workers as engaged, not engaged or actively disengaged based on responses to athree-question index that measures elements that best predict employee and workgroup performance.This index correlates highly with the full Q12 index.ENGAGEDNOTENGAGEDACTIVELYDISENGAGEDHighly involved in andenthusiastic about their workand workplace. They arepsychological “owners,”drive performance andinnovation, and move theorganization forward.Psychologically unattachedto their work and company.Because their engagementneeds are not being fullymet, they are putting time —but not energy or passion —into their work.Resentful that their needsare not being met and areacting out their unhappiness.Every day, these workerspotentially undermine whattheir engaged coworkersaccomplish.Engagement IndexAmong graduates employed full time by an employer35%36%51%50%12%14%14%PFW alumniCollege graduates nationallyGAS IN college graduates40%48%Actively disengagedNot engagedEngaged*A comparison group's outcome is statistically different from PFW’s outcome at the 95% confidence level.Note: Due to rounding, percentages may sum to 100% /-1%.12Copyright 2020 Gallup, Inc.

The Gallup Alumni SurveyEXAMINING THE OUTCOMES OF COLLEGE GRADUATESThe Gallup Alumni Survey is a nationallyrepresentative annual survey of U.S. collegegraduates (n 70,000 ), measuring the degreeto which graduates have "great jobs" throughsuccessful and engaging careers and lead"great lives" by thriving in their overallwellbeing. Survey measures include: overall wellbeing (five elements) workplace engagement (Q12) college experiences affinity and attachment to alma materWhere you go to collegematters far less than howyou go to college.How can college promote lifelong wellbeingand engagement? By providing supportiveand experiential learning opportunities for itsstudents. Gallup research shows that sixcritical college experiences are stronglyassociated with wellbeing and engagement atwork. Three of the six relate to graduatesfeeling supported in college, and the otherthree tie to experiential learning.Graduates who strongly agree to the following statements had higher odds of workplaceengagement and lifelong wellbeing (compared with graduates who did not strongly agree):WorkplaceEngagementWellbeingHad a professor who cared about you asa person1.7x1.4xHad at least one professor who made youexcited about learning1.7x1.4xHad a mentor who encouraged you topursue your goals and dreams1.9x1.4xEXPERIENTIAL LEARNINGEXPERIENCESWorkplaceEngagementWellbeingHad an internship or job that allowed you toapply what you were learning in the classroom1.8x1.3xWorked on a project that took a semesteror more to complete1.7x1.2xWas extremely active in extracurricularactivities and organizations1.6x1.2xEMOTIONAL SUPPORT EXPERIENCES22Copyright 2020 Gallup, Inc.

Six Critical College ExperiencesPREPARING STUDENTS FOR LIFE AFTER COLLEGEAlmost half (45%) ofgraduates nationally had noneor only one of the siximportant college experiencesduring their time in college.Only 3% of graduatesnationally have experiencedall six of these experienceswhile in college.Graduates nationally were also asked to rate theextent to which they agree or disagree that theirinstitution prepared them well for life outside ofcollege. While only 5% of those who had zero ofthe six experiences strongly agreed theirinstitution prepared them well for life outside ofcollege, 80% of those who had all six experiencesdid so.A similar pattern is also in PFW’s data. Alumniwith more positive experiences are more likely tostrongly agree they were prepared well for lifeoutside of college.Positive Experiences and Preparedness% Strongly agree, among PFW oOneTwoNumber of positive experiencesThreeFourFivePrepared me well for life outside of college**Respondents who strongly agree that their university prepared them well for life outside of college23Copyright 2020 Gallup, Inc.

MethodologyNATIONAL COM PARISONMETHODOLOGYFor the purposes of this report, data from PFWare compared with data collected from thenational Gallup Alumni Survey study of collegegraduates. Some differences may existbetween the national comparison pointsincluded in this report and national estimatesthat Gallup has previously released becausethis report focuses on graduates who receivedtheir undergraduate degrees from 1964–2019.Comparison groups included in this scorecardare:Results for the PFW alumni study are basedon web surveys conducted Jan. 6-Feb. 17,2020, with a sample of 391 PFWundergraduate alumni. Alumni were includedin the study if PFW had an email address onfile and they graduated between 1964 and2019. PFW provided a total of 5,172 emailaddresses.College graduates nationally: Bachelor’sdegree holders surveyed via the nationalGallup Alumni Survey which includes thosewho participated in the national study andreported they have a bachelor’s degree onlyfrom a Title IV degree-granting four-yearpublic, private, for-profit or nonprofit institutionin the U.S. as defined by the U.S. Departmentof Education.GAS IN graduates: Bachelor’s degree holderssurveyed via the national Gallup AlumniSurvey who indicated that they obtained abachelor’s degree from a university located inIndiana.32Copyright 2020 Gallup, Inc. All rights reserved.Results for the Gallup Alumni Survey, thestudy used for comparison purposes, arebased on web surveys conducted Feb. 4-Mar.7, 2014, Dec. 16, 2014-Jun. 29, 2015, Aug.22-Oct. 11, 2016, and Apr. 25-Jun. 3, 2018with a random sample of 29,560 respondents,30,151 respondents, 11,483 respondents, and5,107 respondents respectively, with abachelor's degree or higher, aged 18 andolder, with internet access, living in all 50 U.S.states and the District of Columbia.
MethodologyThe 2014 Gallup Alumni Survey sample was compiled from two sources: the Gallup PanelTM andthe Gallup Daily tracking survey. The 2015 and 2016 Gallup Alumni Survey samples wererecruited via the Gallup Daily tracking survey. The 2018 Gallup Alumni Survey sample wasrecruited via the Strada-Gallup Education Consumer Survey. The Gallup Panel is a proprietary,probability-based longitudinal panel of U.S. adults who are selected using random-digit-dial (RDD)and address-based sampling methods. The Gallup Panel is not an opt-in panel. The Gallup Panelincludes 60,000 individuals, and Panel members can be surveyed by phone, mail or web. GallupPanel members with a college degree and access to the internet were invited to take the GallupAlumni Survey online.The Gallup Daily tracking survey sample includes national adults with a minimum quota of 70%cellphone respondents and 30% landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas by timezone within region. Landline and cellular telephone numbers are selected using RDD methods.Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which memberhad the most recent birthday. Gallup Daily tracking respondents with a college degree, whoagreed to future contact, were invited to take the Gallup Alumni Survey online.Gallup Alumni Survey interviews are conducted via the web, in English only. Samples areweighted to correct for unequal selection probability and nonresponse. The data are weighted tomatch national demographics of gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education and region.Demographic weighting targets are based on the most recent Current Population Survey figuresfor the aged 18 and older U.S. bachelor's degree or higher population.All reported margins of sampling error for the Gallup Alumni Survey of all college graduatesinclude the computed design effects for weighting.For results based on the total sample of those with a bachelor’s degree, the margin ofsampling error is 0.5 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.For results based on employee engagement of those with a bachelor’s degree, the marginof sampling error is 0.8 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.For results based on those with a bachelor’s degree from an Indiana institution, the marginof sampling error is 3.1 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.For results based on employee engagement of those with a bachelor’s degree from anIndiana institution, the margin of sampling error is 4.5 percentage points at the 95%confidence level.In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys canintroduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.33Copyright 2020 Gallup, Inc.
