Engaging People Podcast DecisionWise

The need to hire, retain, and motivate employees has never been more vital to the success of organizations. During this episode we will discuss the strategic advantages of using employee lifecycle surveys to measure the key factors that contribute to a great onboarding experience and understand the main reasons for why employees leave. Join DecisionWise COO, David Long, and VP of Consulting Services, Charles Rogel, as they review several employee lifecycle survey best practices based on years of experience working with hundreds of clients.

Once employee survey feedback is collected, there are several ways to use the data to promote organizational change and improve employee engagement. DecisionWise COO, David Long, and VP of Consulting Services, Charles Rogel, will review several best-practice action planning approaches based on years of experience working with hundreds of clients. Topics addressed during this session include:

• How to define your organization employee engagement strategy and best action-planning approach

• The differences between enterprise-wide, department, and team-level action planning

• How to form an employee action planning committee

• How to shift ownership and accountability from HR to leaders throughout the organization

• Best-practice frameworks and templates to facilitate action planning

One question to consider as you think about whether to put effort and investment into employee engagement: “Is engagement worth the effort and investment we put into it?” The short answer to this question is “yes,” but depending on the type of organization you are, engagement may be more critical or less critical to your success.

During this podcast we’ll share the best methods for preparing, administering, and rolling out the results from your employee engagement survey based on over 20 years of experience conducting surveys around the world. We’ll also identify the most common mistakes organizations make when conducting an employee engagement survey and how to avoid them.

Everybody likes to be acknowledged for a job well done. We all like to feel validated and yet, many managers are reluctant to give recognition. Why is this?

If we recognize someone for the things they are doing, it increases their discretionary effort. They’re more highly engaged and they know how to produce faster because they’ve gotten feedback that what they’ve done is right, and they want to do it even more and more.

Learn more about these concepts and ideas on giving recognition in this insightful conversation.
