Depot™ is the most robust, comprehensive, and interactive employee engagement action planner in the industry. With the ability to set general goals, specific tasks, task deadlines, measuring metrics, and notes on needed support, Depot meets any organization’s employee engagement survey goal-setting needs. Where the system excels is with its ability to track progress and report to key stakeholders. Marking tasks as complete and comparing completion against expected deadlines enables leaders to become truly accountable.

All effective action planners start with an overall goal. Team leaders evaluate engagement feedback and identify overall goals to engage their teams.

No general goal is effective without the accompaniment of specific, action-oriented tasks. For example, what specific activities are you going to complete as you strive to increase the levels and frequency of recognition in your team? Tasks allow you to apply deadlines. Without a time-sensitive completion milestone, accountability suffers. By applying date ranges to each task, leaders themselves can identify the specific tasks that deserve their strongest efforts each day of work. Each task requires specific, action-oriented focus accompanied by a clear timeline for deliverables.

After settings tasks, the team leader identifies how he or she will measure success. What will change when the goal is beginning to be met? How will the tasks, as they come to fruition, change the dynamic of the team?

Before submitting the action planner, team leaders outline specific resources needed to achieve the overall goal. By identifying the specific things the organization’s HR leader needs to provide to the team leader, the leader makes his or her action plan more relevant and transparent.

Any leader or HR manager can keep track of individual action plans by using the Action Plan Tracking feature. This will allow visibility and create accountability to make sure that leaders are using their feedback in productive ways to improve engagement levels throughout the organization.

Create tags to organize your goals by topic. Tags can be set by HR or managers to make sure everyone is working toward the same organization objectives. Tags allow goals to be sorted by topic for reporting and tracking.
