Recognition Requirements

The Quantum survey measures six key engagement categories including: team dynamics, trust in leadership, communication and resources, manager effectiveness, and personal engagement. In order to receive statistically sound results, companies must reach a minimum level of employee participation, based on total number of employees, to be eligible to be as a finalist. Responses from each question of each completed survey are compiled and evaluated. Companies are ranked, and finalists are chosen in each size category according to their overall score. This score is calculated by compiling all raw data from the questions. For companies with more than 50 employees, the percent of eligible employees who participate in the survey is also factored in to the overall score. Winners and finalists are chosen solely based on the results of the employee survey.

The survey was originally developed in 2003 and began with 75 pilot items across the spectrum of workplace themes. After a million responses, stepwise regression analysis was performed to identify the items most closely correlated to engagement. Based on this research, the survey was reduced to thirty-seven core items. Quantum validates the survey science annually. The survey was updated again in 2016 and reduce to 30 core questions.
