1 in 3 organizations fail to identify change initiatives; 1 in 2 organizations fail to implement identified change initiatives.
With the variety of valuable insights gained from employee engagement survey results, organizations may find it difficult to develop a focused plan to improve engagement levels across the organization.
As a result, engagement initiatives have little to no impact on overall engagement. Organizations miss the mark on what initiatives and what actions employees really need to become more engaged. It can be difficult to organize employees in an open discussion to solicit their feedback.

Our Advice

Critical Insight

There are three common pitfalls that result in engagement initiatives treating only symptoms: ineffective prioritization of focus areas, lack of participation from a cross-section of employee groups, and poor communication to employees regarding changes.
One of the most effective ways to make plans for employees is to actually include them in the planning process; focus groups generate further insight into initiatives to increase employee engagement.
When planning for implementing engagement initiatives, be sure to consider the long-term requirements as well as the quick fix solutions. Taking action on the quick fixes immediately increases the perception that progress is being made.
Communication is arguably the most important part of this whole process; employees should be consistently informed when it comes to survey results, progress, and next steps.
