Surveys can only give us the briefest of glimpses into the current thinking of an employee. The results can depend on how they feel at that moment in time, rather than a true reflection of their entire experience..

In this HR Uprising Masterclass, Rhiannon Stafford from Blue Grape Talent joins Lucinda to deliver an invaluable masterclass on the subject of engagement surveys.

When answering “What’s wrong with Engagement Surveys?” They explore questions like “Is employee engagement the same as an employee survey?” and “How do we measure employee experience?” 

Rhiannon is a specialist in people development through culture improvement and improving human relationships using fresh ideas.

With people at the heart of her mission, Rhiannon is well-placed to give advice on the best ways for any organisation to engage proactively with their workforce, and by the end of this week’s podcast episode, there’s every chance that your thinking around the subject will be revolutionised.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Being engaged is the output, it is the expression of our experience. The experience is the sum total of all thoughts and interactions with the employer.
Surveys can only give us the briefest of glimpses into the current thinking of an employee. The results can depend on how they feel at that moment in time, and does not necessarily encapsulate their entire experience.
Small transactional changes can never truly address the issues surrounding employee engagement. They are only ever short-term fixes.
Successful surveying is based around the individual. It can never be one-size-fits-all. We must ensure, as HR professionals, that we never become to overwhelmed by the survey itself, to focus on the individual.
Instead of spending budgets on employee surveys, are there any other areas, such as management development, that could benefit employees even more?

BEST MOMENTS

“Engagement and experience are really at the heart of what we believe in” 

“Let’s pull back the layers of engagement”

“A big part of engagement is motivation” 

“Engagement comes in shades. It’s never good or bad, or black and white”
