2023 achieve Virtual: Voice of the Employee
Organizations who have thrived in recent years have one thing in common – they actively seek out and listen to the voice of their employees when making decisions. Today, as employees have more options and control of their career than ever, if you aren’t focused on creating a culture built on listening to employees, you’ll struggle to attract and retain great people.
The number one way to understand your people is through creating a culture of employee feedback. And this doesn't mean you set up an occasional employee survey; it is a continuous and on-going process that drives employee well-being and satisfaction. By unlocking the voice of the employee, you can unlock vital insights into the state of your employee engagement, turnover, DEI, and more.
The question is: What are some of the most effective ways to unlock the voice of the employee, but also have insights that enable you to take action on?
Watch this virtual event where we shared the tools and methodologies you can use to develop a listening strategy, move from insight to action, and ultimately drive better business results in your organization.
