If you’re a business manager; By when do you have to hand in your 5 point departmental improvement plan based upon the survey results? Oh OK, so it’s not that easy to interpret the results and derive sound actions from it? So, now what? What are you going to do with it? Well, at least you’ve got till October…
If you’re in HR; Did your company make it into the celebrated ranking of ‘great places to work’? If not, how many % points have you gained compared to last year? And what difference does it really make? Did it stimulate honest, insightful, action inspiring conversations? And did these ultimately lead to decisions and action plans to improve the company’s business performance? And how exactly did you monitor the contribution to the bottom line?
Sounds familiar?
Too many business managers struggle with the burden of engagement and employee satisfaction surveys. Over time these seem to have become a goal in itself, instead of a means to an end.
Do they serve a purpose profiling your company as an attractive employer in the war for talent? Definitely!
But can you claim a likewise contribution to a conscious and continuous dialogue about how your culture impacts your bottom line and how to steer continuous improvement thereof?
Be honest!
In many cases the honest dialogue falls between the cracks.And serious action planning right down next to it. Not because it’s not important. Too often just because business managers can’t correlate the output of the surveys in such a way that it makes sense and derive effective business related actions from it.
Many business managers struggle with this seasonal engagement monitoring pressure. Employee satisfaction is merely a result of something else. Wouldn’t it therefore be more effective to measure and investigate the root cause of how company culture influences company performance? Instead of shifting focus to the consequence of it?
Just measuring engagement is like measuring the engagement of two football teams of 6 year olds bunching around the ball. It’s not their engagement, agility, satisfaction nor the measurement thereof in itself that will tell you anything. It’s the direction and impact with which different aspects of your company culture (and there are more than one) are affecting performance, positively or negatively, that is important to uncover. The where and how culture is helping and hurting you is the only thing you really should be interested in. Because that’s what’s allows business managers to take the right measures to move the needle in the right direction!
