Our workplaces have changed. We continue to experiment with new ways of work. Business leaders must lead the initiative to measure and manage organizational health.
To improve employee engagement, your strategy must be grounded in feedback —the voice of the employee. Pulse surveys are an effective alternative to annual employee engagement surveys to gather real-time feedback from employees and help leaders and managers take appropriate actions.
Employee engagement is usually targeted towards HR. However, research has shown that managers account for more than 70% of the variance in employee engagement. This is because managers fill in the roles HR cannot: the roles of personalizing relationships, connecting with, and empowering employees.
