Podcast: Employee Engagement Survey Action Planning

Teamwork is the way to success.

Feedback Survey Process Graphic

After the employee engagement survey results come in, you have all of this information. What do you do with it? The temptation is to try to tackle everything. So it’s important when doing an engagement survey, that you have a plan for what to do with the information.

When action is not taken—or when plans are disjointed and not cohesive, a company runs the risk of showing no improvement, and in some cases engagement dropping from one year to the next.

So it is critical that high level results are looked at, analyzed and acted upon by leaders in the company.

Podcast: Managing Expectation Gaps & Creating Expectation Symmetry

expectation gap

The Expectation Gap is the space between what an organization claims it will do for the employee and what the employee expects will happen. The less clear the communication channels, the more likely that gap will be filled with static, garbled messages, and broken promises. The result: resentment and disengagement.

Expectation Symmetry gauges how closely the expectations an organization creates for its employees match what the employees expect to happen. The greater the symmetry, the higher the level of trust. And the more the employees trust that their employer has their backs, respects them, and keeps its promises, the more they will take the risk of becoming fully invested and engaged, transforming the customer experience with their delight and enthusiasm.
