1. INTRODUCTION
Employee engagementis a property of the relationship between an organization
and its employees. An "engaged employee" is one who is fully absorbed by and
enthusiastic about their workand so takes positive action to further the organization's
reputation and interests.
An organization with 'high' employee engagement might therefore be expected to
outperform those with 'low' employee engagement, all else being equal mployee
engagement is a workplace approach designed to ensure that employees are committed to
their organization!s goals and values, motivated to contribute to organizational success,and are able at the same time to enhance their own sense of wellbeing.
#here are differences between attitude, behaviour and outcomes in terms of
engagement. An employee might feel pride and loyalty $attitude%& be a great advocate of
their company to clients, or go the extra mile to finish a piece of work $behaviour%.
utcomes may include lower accident rates, higher productivity, fewer conflicts, more
innovation, lower numbers leaving and reduced sickness rates. (ut we believe all three )
attitudes, behaviours and outcomes ) are part of the engagement story. #here is a virtuous
circle when the preconditions of engagement are met when these three aspects of
engagement trigger and reinforce one another engaged organizations have strong and
authentic values, with clear evidence of trust and fairness based on mutual respect, where
two way promises and commitments ) between employers and staff ) are understood, and
are fulfilled.
Although improved performance and productivity is at the heart of engagement, itcannot be achieved by a mechanistic approach which tries to extract discretionary effort
by manipulating employees! commitment and emotions. mployees see through such
attempts very quickly& they lead instead to cynicism and disillusionment. (y contrast,
engaged employees freely and willingly give discretionary effort, not as an *add on!, but
as an integral part of their daily activity at work.

(ut is employee engagement something new, or simply old wine $longstanding
management approaches% in new $fashionable managementspeak% bottles+ s it -ust the
latest management fad+ e believe that while it does have clear overlaps with analytical
antecedents such as commitment, *organizational citizenship behaviour!, -ob involvement
and -ob satisfaction, there are also crucial differences.
An engaged employee experiences a blend of -ob satisfaction, organisational
commitment, -ob involvement and feelings of empowerment. t is a concept that is greater
than the sum of its parts.
/espite there being some debate about the precise meaning of employee
engagement there are three things we know about it0 it is measurable& it can be correlated
with performance& and it varies from poor to great. 1ost importantly employers can do a
great deal to impact on people!s level of engagement. #hat is what makes it so important,
as a tool for business success.
2uman resource executives in ndia continue to struggle with talent management
issues, particularly retention. #he quest to find the best way to retain employees has taken
23 pundits through concepts such as employee review, employee satisfaction and
employee delights. #he latest idea is 4mployee ngagement5, a concept that holds, that,
it is the degree to which an employee is emotionally bonded to his organization and
passionate about his work that really matters. ngagement is about motivating employees
to do their best. An engaged employee gives his company his hundred percent. #he
quality of output and competitive advantage of a company depends upon the quality of its
people. t has been proved that there is an intrinsic link between employee engagement,
customer loyalty and profitability. hen employees are effectively and positively
engaged with their organization they form an emotional connection with the company.
#his impacts their attitude towards the company!s clients, and thereby improves customer
satisfaction and service levels. 1ost organizations realize today that a satisfied employee
is not necessarily the best employee in terms of loyalty and productivity.

NEED AND IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY
mployees also should be shown that they are valued from their first day on the

work contributes to the agency!s overall mission. ngagement is important for managers
to cultivate given that disengagement or alienation is central to the problem of workers

mployees who are fully engaged tend to work in offices that achieve better program
results, call in sick less often and stay with their agencies longer, according to a new
report by the 1erit 6ystems 7rotection (oard. #he report, which is based on results from
C??D survey of nearly E,??? employees at CF federal agencies, found that despite
dwindling resources and increased pressure to improve programs, agencies can thrive if
managers connect with their employees.

ngagement as a beneficial twoway relationship where employees and employers *go the
extra mile! for one another. =ompanies that get it right reap the rewards and so do their
employees, that the benefits of having happy staff are welldocumented. (ut the challenge
for many organizations is showing that engagement brings a tangible return on investment
) a process many companies find elusive.
FINDIN#S*
A survey of F?? 23 professionals conducted via the 7ersonnel #oday website, are
surprising. ne in four organizations admitted that staff was not engaged. A similar
number said the situation had worsened in the past year. And FF per cent said that tackling
engagement was an over whelming challenge.

#he solution is that engagement cannot be addressed by a mechanistic approach. 4ach
situation is different and it comes back to the fact that employers and employees must
support each other.5

EMP"OYEE EN#A#EMENT
An organization!s productivity is measured not in terms of employee satisfaction
but in terms of employee engagement. mployees are said to be engaged when they showa positive attitude towards the organization and express a commitment to remain with the
organization. t is the level of commitment and involvement an employee has towards the
organization and its values. An engaged employee is aware of the business context and
works with colleagues to improve performance within the -ob for the benefit of the
organization. ngagement at work was conceptualized by Gahn $>HH?% as the harnessing
of organizational members! selves to their work roles. n engagement people employ and
express themselves physically, cognitively and emotionally during role performances.
mployee engagement is thus the level of commitment and involvement an
employee has towards their organization and its value. #he organization must work to
develop and nature engagement which requires a two way relationship between employer
and employee. #hus employee engagement a barometer that determines the association of
a person with the organization. ngagement is most closely associated with the existing
construction of *Job nvolvement!.
#hus -ob involvement results from a cognitive -udgment about the need satisfying
abilities of the -ob. Jobs in this view are tied to one!s self image. @urthermore engagement
entails the active use of emotions. @inally engagement may be thought of as an antecedent
to -ob involvement in that individuals who experience deep engagement in their roles
should come to identify with their -obs. mployee engagement he gave importance to all
three aspects, physical, cognitive and emotional. hereas in -ob satisfaction importance
has been more given to cognitive side.
According to the study of atson yatt, the profit chain establishes relationship
between profitability, customer loyalty and employee!s satisfaction, loyalty and
productivity. 6atisfaction is largely influenced by the services provided to customers.
6atisfied, loyal and productive employee creates value. mployee satisfaction in turn
results primarily from high quality support services and policies that enable employees to
deliver results to customers.

FOCUS ON EMP"OYEE EN#A#EMENT
ngagement by industry ith the exception of government sector which has
relatively low engagement levels some high tech industries $pharma, biotech% score lowwhereas some service focused industries $retail, consumer products% score high.
ngagement by level6tudies show that people higher up in the organization experience
higher engagement. 2owever there is a drop in engagement past the vicepresident level.
ngagement by gender the survey reveals a larger disparity between men and women.
1en count KImore fully engaged and LIless disengaged than women. #aking global
figures into account, it can be said that ndian workers are among the most focused and
satisfied in the world.
BASIC ASPECTS OF EMP"OYEE EN#A#EMENT
#here are three basic aspects of employee engagement0 #he employees and their
own unique psychological makeup and experience.
#he employers and their ability to create the conditions that promote employee
engagement. nteractions between employees at all levels. #hus employee engagement is
a partnership between a company and its employee where everyone works together to
achieve the business ob-ectives of the company and fulfill their personal aspirations. t is
therefore largely the organization!s responsibility to create an environment and culture
conducive to this partnership and a winwin equation.
CATE#ORIES OF EMP"OYEES
#here are three different types of employees. #hey are engaged, not engaged, actively
disengaged.
>. EN#A#ED 5
ngaged employees are builders. #hey want to know the desired expectations for
their role so that they can meet and exceed them. #hey are naturally curious about their
company and their place in it. #hey perform at consistently high levels. #hey want to use
their talents and strengths at work every day. #hey work with passion and they drive
innovation and move their organization forward.

+. NOT EN#A#ED 5
Mot engaged employees tend to concentrate in tasks rather than the goals and
outcomes they are expected to accomplish. #hey want to be told what to do -ust so thatthey can do it and say they have finished. #hey focus on accomplishing tasks outcome.
mployees who are not engaged tend to feel their contributions are being overlooked and
their potential is not being tapped. #hey often feel this way because they don!t have
productive relationships with their managers or with their coworkers.
. ACTI!E"Y DISEN#A#ED
#he actively disengaged employees are the cave dwellers. #hey are consistently
against *virtually everything!. #hey are not -ust unhappy at work they are busy acting out
their unhappiness. #hey sow seeds of negativity at every opportunity. veryday actively
disengaged workers undermine what their engaged coworkers accomplish. #he problems
and tensions that are fostered by actively disengaged workers can cause great damage to
an organization!s functioning.
THE RO"E THEORY
mployee engagement can be defined in terms of what people do at work,
something called the role theory. 3ole theory reviews different roles that people engage in
at work, and it explains reasons why people engage in certain roles and not in others.

O%gan)/at)on Mem6e% Role0
mployees do things that promote and help the company even if it!s not part of
their -obs or their team!s duties n general we find that most employees have a sense of
fairness and even if their employer treats them poorly most will show up to work and do
the -ob role. (ut having employee show up at work simply doing their -obs gets an
employer nowhere in terms of long term competitiveness. f all your employees show up
and only do their -obs, then you are not building organizational strength and long term
competitiveness through people because anyone can hire those same employees and
duplicate what you are doing. t is the synergy that comes from people working together
and gathering creative ideas that leads to long term organizational wealth creation. #hat
synergy and above and beyond behavior is evidence of employee engagement
75A5B MODE"
According to GA( 1/9 for the success of employee engagement, the company
must follow three steps i.e. Gnowledge, Attitude and (ehavior
7NO4"ED#E*5
6takeholder must be aware of what is happening, what the change or engagement
effort is, and what they will see happening across the organization, to and by whom ,over
what time period .this is the 4launch5 part of engagement programmes, and is also where
much of the effort is focusedoften to the detriment of the subsequent stages.
ATTITUDE*5
nce the stakeholders have internalized the knowledge, they need to form an
attitude about what they know .generally this means that they must see tangible, positive
evidence that the organization is serious about and committed to the programme.
vidence of behavior change emerges in key leaders, managers and employees as, for
example, process begin to evolve and changes are made.
BEHA!IOUR
nce stakeholders have internalized the information and formed an attitude about
the change and what it means to them, it is essential that they are given the tools,
guidance and support needed to change their behaviours and must be visibly intolerant of
behaviors that do not align with achieving the ob-ectives behind the overall engagement
efforts

THE TEN C8S OF EMP"OYEE EN#A#EMENT
2ow can leaders engage employees! heads, hearts, and hands+ #he literature offers
several avenues for action& we summarize these as the #en =!s of employee engagement.
1. Conne&t0
9eaders must show that they value employees. mployeefocused initiatives such
as profit sharing and implementing work)life balance initiatives are important. 2owever,
if employees! relationship with their managers is fractured, then no amount of perks will
persuade employees to perform at top levels. mployee engagement is a direct reflection
of how employees feel about their relationship with the boss. mployees look at whether
organizations and their leader walk the talk when they proclaim that, 4ur employees are
our most valuable asset.5
+. Ca%ee%0
9eaders should provide challenging and meaningful work with opportunities for
career advancement. 1ost people want to do new things in their -ob. @or example, do
organizations provide -ob rotation for their top talent. Are people assigned stretch goals.
/o leaders hold people accountable for progress+ Are -obs enriched in duties and
responsibilities+

3. Cong%at-late0
(usiness leaders can learn a great deal from oo den!s approach. 6urveys show
that, over and over, employees feel that they receive immediate feedback when their
performance is poor, or below expectations. #hese same employees also report that praise
and recognition for strong performance is much less common. xceptional leaders give
recognition, and they do so a lot& they coach and convey.
:. Cont%)6-te0
7eople want to know that their input matters and that they are contributing to the
organization!s success in a meaningful way. @irst, an employee understands of the
connection between her work ) as operational by specific -obrelevant behaviors ) and
the strategic ob-ectives of the company had a positive impact on -ob performance.
6econd, an employee!s attitude towards the -ob and the company had the greatest impact
on loyalty and customer service than all the other employee factors combined. #hird,
improvements in employee attitude led to improvements in -obrelevant behavior& this, in
turn, increased customer satisfaction and an improvement in revenue growth. n sum,
good leaders help people see and feel how they are contributing to the organization!s
success and future.
;. Cont%ol*
mployee!s value control over the flow and pace of their -obs and leaders can
create opportunities for employees to exercise this control. A feeling of 4being in on
things,5 and of being givenopportunities to participate in decision making oftenreduces
stress& it also creates trust and a culture where people want to take ownership of problems
and their 6olutions.

Geeping remote employees engaged is a critical challenge for managers.
mployees need to be engaged through various forums and interactions to build
excitement and passion through various communication channels and events. @or
example, at 6un 1icrosystems, employees are treated with utmost importance. #he senior
management team interacts with the employees through the intranet where the employees
are engaged in active dialogue on corporate goals and directions and also solicits their
feedback. 1anagement members engages with the employees on technological directions
through personal blog.$holding six town halls with employees every year%. #he company
also reaches out the employees! family by inviting and involving them in some events.
#he internal website of the company is updated daily, thus keeping employees abreast of
the happenings and developments in their organization.
=onducting a survey without planning how to handle the results can lead
employees to disengage. t is therefore to feel the pulse, the action plan is -ust as essential.

#he key to employee engagement is creating greater motivation for their work
and commitment to their organization. t is not possible to retain professionals only by
paying high salaries and offering attractive benefits. e need to create enthusiasm for
their roles, their work and the organization and ensure they are well integrated. mployee
engagement relates to the employee!s commitment to the organization!s success. ngaged
employees who are inspired and guided by the leadership equipped with the right tools
and managed by the right systems and process deliver superior performance. mployee
engagement today encompasses training, development, work environment, leadership,
performance management, work life balance, communication, compensation, benefits,
commitment, fun and social activities. #he quality of output and competitive advantage of
a company depends on the quality of people. mployees want to work for an organization
that issuccessful, legal, provides opportunities to grow, has managers who help
employees and is socially responsible.

surveys, tracking changes in the attrition rate, increase in the number of employee
referrals and growth in productivity and business. n many organizations the age old
employee satisfaction surveys were considered the most popular method for measuring
how happy an employee was in the organization. #his is slowly being replaced by surveys

=ommitment theories are rather based on creating conditions, under which the employee
will feel compelled to work for an organization, whereas engagement theories aim to
bring about a situation in which the employee by free choice has an intrinsic desire to
work in the best interests of the organization..
3ecent research has focused on developing a better understanding of how variables such
as quality of work relationships and values of the organization interact, and their link to
important work outcomes.N>KO@rom the perspective of the employee, "outcomes" range
from strong commitment to the isolation of oneself from the organization
IMPORTANCE OF EN#A#EMENT
ngagement is important for managers to cultivate, given that disengagement or
alienation is central to the problem of worker!s lack of commitment and motivation.
1eaningless work is often associated with apathy and detachment from ones works
$#homas; :elt house %.n such conditions, individuals are thought to be estranged from
their selves. An organization!s capacity to manage employee engagement is closely
related to its ability to achieve high performance levels and superior business results. n
the workplace research on employee engagement $2arter,6chmidt;2ayes,C??C% have
repeatedly asked employee whether they have the opportunity to do what they do best
every day. hile one in five employees strongly agree with this statement. #hese work
units scoring higher on this perception have substantially higher performance. #hus,
employee engagement is critical to any organization that seeks to retain valued
employees.
As organizations globalize and become more dependent on technology in a virtual
working environment, there is a greater need to connect and engage with employees to
provide them with an organizational identity. ngaged employees are more likely to stay
and be an advocate of the company!s product and services. #hey contribute to the overall
success of the organization. A greater number of loyal employees ensure low recruitment
and training costs, in effect enhancing the productivity of the organization. #hey are also
more willing to put in extra effort when the organization needs it. #heir impact on the
working environment is also significant as they are more focused on organizational

rivalries. #hey also pro-ect a positive image to new recruits and this motivates the latter to
perform better and assimilate themselves in the office culture.
mployee engagement is an umbrella term that captures any number of factors including
-ob satisfaction but it's important to recognize that different factors lead to different
outcomes.
All areas of the economy are experiencing financial strain, including the public sector
where the workforce is having to negotiate a considerable amount of change. #his is
evident in places such as the M26, where staff will be tasked with implementing the

INTRODUCTION TO BU"7 DRU# INDUSTRY*
6ince the achievement of independence, ndia pharmaceutical industry registered a
substantial progress and has become one of the country!s leading industries. ndia is now
providing large quantities of varied bulk drugs and pharmaceutical products. f late
especially during K?!s ndia acquired a status of one of the ma-or exports of drugs and
pharmaceutical in the international market.
7rior to the launching of second fiveyear plan, the manufacture of pharmaceuticals was
limited largely to processing of bulkimported drugs in to tablets, capsules and other
formalities. 9ater the ndian manufacturers were encouraged to make up the manufacture
of basic drugs wherever it was economically possible and technically feasible, resulting in
the growth of bulk drug industry and leading to selfsufficiency in the production of these
raw materials called as bulk drugs. #he number of bulk drugs and pharmaceutical
chemicals manufactured in the country by the ndian change in the pattern of production,
the industry has now emerged as an exporter of basic chemicals, intermediaries and
finished production. #hus bulk drugs are poised to become the new start in the export
firmament.
7harmaceuticals are medicinally effective chemicals, which are converted to dosage
forms suitable for patients to imbibe. n it basic chemical form, 7harmaceuticals are
called bulk drugs and the final dosage forms are known as formulations. Qsage of
7harmaceuticals is governed by the underlying medical science. #he four primary
