The Enterprise Engagement Alliance provides the first and only formal education program focused on the implementation of a strategic and systematic approach to the management and engagement of employees and the entire enterprise. This includes the use of readily accessible human capital management, metrics, and reporting strategies and the ROI-based design and use of engagement processes. Developed under the direction of both academic and business curriculum experts, with input from dozens of expert practitioners, Enterprise Engagement 2.0 also includes modules specifically designed for management in finance, marketing, and total rewards, and other areas of business.

The field of Enterprise Engagement supports to “S” or Social elements of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management and Stakeholder Capitalism.

Enterprise Engagement achieves better results for organizations and experiences for employees and other stakeholders than the current reactive, ad hoc, and little-measured approach by integrating and aligning processes that generally are siloed in many organizations. These include: branding, culture, and leadership development; assessment and feedback; coaching; communications in every media; learning; job design; collaboration and innovation; incentives and loyalty, rewards and recognition; human capital analytics, Enterprise Engagement technology, and more.

A Singular Focus on Human Capital Management, Measurement, and ROI of Engagement

No other education or certification program anywhere provides the foundation for a strategic and systematic approach to engaging employees and all stakeholders in a strategic and systematic way. This program also is unique in its focus on human capital management, measurement, analytics, and internal and external reporting consistent with ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards.

Enterprise Engagement Alliance processes are consistent with the principles of Stakeholder Capitalism–a new approach to creating shareholder returns by creating value for all stakeholders–employees, customers, distribution and supply chain partners or any stakeholders. Enterprise Engagement is designed to engage employees in the organization’s brand, mission, and goals in a way that is aligned with the interests of customers, distribution and supply chain partners, communities, and other constituents.

Education preparation for Enterprise Engagement certification includes two books: Enterprise Engagement for CEOs and Enterprise Engagement: The Roadmap, provided at no cost with EEA membership, as well as five decks and recorded webinar sessions covering:

The principles, economics, and framework of Enterprise Engagement; i.e., engaging employees and all stakeholders in the mission and goals of the organization.
The fundamentals of employee, customer, and distribution partner engagement, and their inter-relationship.
Human capital management and measurement fundamentals, including a review of ISO 30414 human capital reporting standards, the new World Economic Forum Stakeholder Capital metrics, and other reporting standards.
An overview of the return-on-investment measurement process for almost any type of engagement tactic, including incentives, loyalty, recognition, communications, learning, and more.
Case studies of strategic and tactical engagement strategies.
The Certified Engagement Practitioner demonstrates a thorough understanding of the principles of Enterprise Engagement and the concept of Stakeholder Capitalism by reading two books and demonstrating a firm grasp of the key principles in a one-hour video web interview.
The Advanced Engagement Practitioner certifies extensive experience and the ability to create a formal, measurable engagement strategy. The Advanced Practitioner designation requires the achievement of the CEP designation, a college degree or equivalent; at least three years of management or equivalent experience in engagement process design, as well as submission of a formal engagement plan explained in the curriculum.
