Equip Managers to Improve Employee Engagement Using the EXM Dashboard and Design Thinking

Elevate the employee experience using real-time measurement and design thinking.

  • Organizations have few formalized efforts to support the use of real-time engagement measurement tools by leaders.
  • Even in cases where guidance on basic dashboard navigation is provided, many fail to aid leaders in the most critical tasks: accurately interpreting the results and thoughtfully acting on them.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

  • Real-time engagement monitoring is critical to ensure employee engagement issues are surfaced and addressed quickly, before they can fester and negatively impact morale, productivity, and – ultimately – employee retention.
  • Equipping managers to improve employee engagement using the EXM Dashboard trains managers to:
    • Glean basic information from the dashboard, including participation rates, demographics, current state, trending, and comments.
    • Perform more advanced analysis using the dashboard, including response distribution and fluctuation analysis.
    • Act on EXM results and drive engagement using design thinking, including empathy mapping, question construction, and targeted brainstorming.
    • Create an action plan to ensure the training translates into behavioral change that drives team engagement.

Impact and Result

  • Create an environment where the daily actions of leaders, including their consistent use of the EXM Dashboard, help to engage every member of their teams, creating a positive impact on culture, company potential, empowerment, and rewards and recognition.
  • See an improvement in direct business drivers such as agility, cost, quality, and revenue.
