Are you involved in employee engagement in your business? If you are, I have a quick question for you… 🙋♂️ Are you measuring progress from one survey to the next, and is this driving business improvements? Organisations we’re working with on listening programmes routinely see +5 > 10% score changes YOY. But most importantly, they are seeing these kinds of shifts on the questions/themes that are statistically key to driving a positive employee experience. Here’s how we help them achieve that – 🔬 Expert-led deep dive analysis of survey data 🎯 Pinpointing ‘key signals’ in results, linking these back to their strategy 📌 Devising a roadmap on exactly how and where to act 📚 And (often) shaping L&D and OD interventions to address ‘key signals’ The result of all this, besides the score changes? For all > a better workplace experience. + Some clients see improved manager performance, higher retention, or reduced employee absence rates… These are having a BIG impact on improving their bottom line too. If your employee listening programme isn’t helping you drive such outcomes, then it isn’t working. Please DM me or leave a comment and I can share some details on how ETS plc could help your business too. #employeeengagement #employeesurveys #employeelistening #employeeexperience Pic credit: Diana Polekhina / Unsplash

Contented workers are more than a benefit; they are a tactical asset. Here's how success is fueled by employee engagement: - Motivation Is Important: Passionate and motivated workers always go above and beyond to accomplish the objectives of the organization. - Retention produces results because happy workers stick around longer, which lowers costs associated with turnover and guarantees a dependable, seasoned staff. - Innovation Ignites: New ideas and viewpoints are contributed by engaged workers, which promotes innovation and accelerates growth. - Customer Champions: Highly motivated staff members provide outstanding customer care, which increases client loyalty and improves brand recognition. - Top Performance Unleashed: Productivity soars and businesses succeed overall when engaged individuals work at their peak.

20 new HR metrics – Forbes Day Eight of our review of Forbes Human Resources Council HR metrics for ‘today’s work world’. https://lnkd.in/eCiCGGyj   10. Employee Engagement "Look at employee engagement and well-being. This metric assesses how connected and supported employees feel and their overall satisfaction with work-life integration. By tracking this, we can proactively address factors that influence retention, performance and company culture, ensuring our workforce is productive, agile, and rewarded." DWB - The difficulties with Employee Well-being measures are covered in #7 (Employee Well-Being Score). Engagement surveys of varying value are already circulated through many organisations. Performance could be affected by the relevant manager, while Culture overall stems very much from the top, so if responsive action is not taken  on these key \(and tricky) points, then the surveys achieve nothing. My rating: 1/5 This is nothing particularly new; the real question is do current methods really make a difference, and would this, assuming one could do it, make things better? 12. Skills Agility Index "Every company should have a skills agility index. The goal of the SA index is to measure an organization's and employees' ability to adapt to new skills required by market changes and technological advancement. The index would rate internal mobility, the average time to proficiency for new skills learned, employee participation rates in new skill development programs and certifications achieved. " DWB - Presumably this would also apply to the C-suite, who during the pandemic and beyond have proved to be anything but agile in adapting to the changed environment. Here is where it is going to have to start if you want this to permeate the culture, And wouldn’t this be contained with greater relevance in the performance, development need identification, need fulfilment and behaviour monitoring cycle? My rating: 2/5 I have doubts about the capture of this information without having to devote excessive resources to do so and have difficulty in envisaging this capturing the attention of the Board. Right now there are existing measures that handle this effectively.   Tomorrow we look at #13 Support Effort and #14 Workplace Loneliness Index Meantime, check out Ana Lucia Soler Villanueva's excellent summation video here: https://lnkd.in/eMrsQC6V #hr #hrmetrics
