The research shows a strong correlation between high employee engagement and better business results. On average, CEEBest Employerscompanies:

The study, which Aon Hewitt has run in Central and Eastern Europe since 2001, recognises companies that stand out from their peers through the high quality and effectiveness of their HR practices which have a positive impact on business results. The study looks at both employer and employee perspectives with business indicators to provide a fully objective picture.

Rising employee engagement

This year's study showed that the level of employee engagement in the CEE region has increased by three percentage points since 2011, reaching the average level of 58%. The highest level of employee engagem ent in the region is in Bulgaria (67%), and the lowest in Poland (48%). AtBest Employercompanies, engagement reaches 80%, 22 points higher than the regional average.

Despite the differences in employee engagement levels among countries, there are common and distinctive qualities that setBest Employersapart. Magdalena Warzybok, CEE Engagement Practice Director at Aon Hewitt, said:

"Best Employersstand out in the way they reward and recognise their employees. That will be by offering adequate pay and attractive benefits packages as well as career opportunities. They have an excellent reputation in the job market and show real consistency between this external image and the real internal working experience of their employees. Finally, the quality of their senior leadership teams and their focus on people is a true differentiator."

Edward Stanoch, Aon Hewitt European Talent Practice Market Leader, said:

"We are very grateful to the participants of theBest Employersstudy. In continued economic uncertainty, we are pleased to see that more and more companies are acting to keep their employees engaged. It has become a business cliché that an organisation's greatest asset is its employees, but each year this study demonstrates the truth of that phrase. Good HR processes, well designed reward packages and better management do lead to more engaged employees. They, in turn, contribute more effectively and the whole business benefits."
