Organizational Pride
Organizational Pride
Background Information
This theme measures an employee’s emotional connection to the organization.
Organizational pride can be defined as the personal belief of what the company stands for, what its mission statement is, and the approach to meet its goal.
It is the confidence and the boost in self-esteem employees feel when they are working towards something meaningful.
As one of the few broad measurements within the survey (see Company is a Good Place to Work), this theme focuses on the organizational impact on the surrounding environment, compared to the impact of the organization on the employee.
Why is this Important?
Employee pride contributes to the overall level of engagement, satisfaction, and connection to the organization. Employees are eager to go to work at a place they feel good about.
Organizational pride is associated with reduced turnover, willingness to recommend the organization to others, and greater satisfaction with organizational success.
When employers engage their team beyond the traditional methods of compensation and benefits, offering opportunity and meaningful work, it can lead to greater employee productivity.
Recommended Action Items
Consider implementing the following action items as part of your personalized strategy to improve the level of employee engagement within your team.
Core Values
Reaffirm the guiding principles of the organization and communicate examples of how they are being applied. Ensure staff are firmly aware of the organization’s mission and leaders walk the talk.

Recognize & Reward Hard Work
Employees thrive on being recognized for their contributions and seeing the resulting impact. Recognizing and rewarding employees can instill pride that their work in the organization is valued and meaningful.
