3 TopicsPeople Science - resources and researches on a few different topics for exec presentation
Hi, I have a client and a leadership team that is bought-in to engagement, data-driven, and ambitious to do more. Tech industry, gone from start-up to 500 employees so starting to mature. They have been doing their own insights but have now sought after external consultant to provide more external viewpoints for inspiration and additional insights. Here are some topics that came up in the scoping session with HR Engagement trends in general, how are the scores shifting (slightly downwards?) and why? I have the “modern approach to measuring engagement” mentioning the revamp of the people success elements post-COVID so I can use some snippets from that. But does someone have a slide summarising it nicely rather than in text/article? Any other trends in the last year? The client has a focus on being great at hybrid working so would be good to see if anyone has done work with companies and the link between engagement and hybrid The client is still privately owned, small-ish (500 people) and one current challenge is their mixed comms about exit plan - when it could happen as most employees have equity. Interestingly very low employee attrition, although scores are declining (still high scores however). Possibly waiting for payout? If there are some materials on smaller companies who are privately owned where employees have equity and how to deal with comms in that environment Any specific trends on tech companies They use top 10th percentile benchmark, but since scores are declining, there are some gaps that are quite big. If someone has experience of “downgrading” to a lower benchmark, e.g. global mean, and how to position that. They don’t want to look like they’re dodging ambitions. I said a way to do it could maybe to include both – baseline and ambition. Any case studies/best practice on actions that worked on Prospects, Comms, Confidence in Sen. Leadership Much appreciated.

Hello! I've been searching the forum and other places for some research, thought pieces etc for what employees normally endure during times of change, e.g. acquisitions. Working with a client now where scores are decreasing and the senior leadership will in the insights presentation likely want to understand how other companies are doing, if they differ or are similar etc. I will of course emphasise that they first and foremost need to focus on their own results and act on opportunity areas of impact, but it would be helpful to be able to refer to some additional research or even anecdotal stories from other companies. In this case there seems to be a fear of culture changing and comms around the transformation not being clear. Any help much appreciated!

Hello! I have a client who has been doing culture surveys for a couple of years and is now looking to design a more encompassing employee listening strategy incorporating engagement, culture, D&I, exit, onboarding etc. To take to their stakeholders, they would like a good and concise way to explain the difference between culture and engagement. I've been through the materials from trainings and community etc, but can't seem to find anything relevant. If anyone has a good paper to share, or effective anecdotes/metaphors that work well, that'd be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Pablo74Views0likes2Comments
