This tool not only measures employee engagement on a regular basis, it provides leadership insights (Tune-Up Tips TM) for getting the score to go up. This performance-management tool is based Paul Herr's critically-acclaimed book, "Primal Management: Unraveling the Secrets of Human Nature to Drive High Performance," which was published by the American Management Association in 2009. If you don't have time to read the book, check out our employee- engagement whitepaper... The Horsepower System turns employee engagement from a once-a-year afterthought (once-a-year survey) into an ongoing business priority by tracking employee motivation monthly or quarterly throughout the year with a short, online survey. We think employee engagement is simply too important to monitor only once a year.
