There's been plenty of debate lately about whether engagement surveys have had their day.

Our view? It's not the survey that's the problem. It's the thinking that surrounds it.

Done well, engagement surveys can provide valuable insights, help track progress over time and spark meaningful conversations. But only if they're designed with purpose and followed by action.

Before you launch your next engagement survey, here's the five questions we'd be asking first.

What would you add to the list?

Have you been thinking about getting some People & Culture support, but aren't quite sure what working with a consultancy would actually look like? We get it. Inviting someone into your business is a big decision.

For us, it's about building trusted partnerships, understanding your business, rolling up our sleeves and working alongside your team to create practical solutions that make a real difference.

If you're curious about what it's really like to work with Nine Yards, swipe through for a little insight into how we work and what matters most to us.

If that sounds like the kind of partnership you're looking for, we'd love to chat.

At Nine Yards, we are constantly being asked about our views on AI and its role in the workplace. One thing we strongly believe is that rather than trying to become AI experts, P+C leaders should be asking better organisational questions.

In our latest blog, we explore the three questions we think every P&C team should be asking right now to ensure AI creates long-term value, not just short-term efficiency.

An article about Australia's "hidden productivity tax" caught our eye this week, so naturally, we went digging into the research behind it.

What we found reinforced something we're constantly seeing in organisations: people often understand the strategy and where they're heading. The challenge is being enabled to actually get there.

Duplicated effort. Slow approvals. Shifting priorities. Rework. Reporting. Endless coordination just to keep work moving.

At a time when productivity is high on the agenda, perhaps the question isn't how we get people to do more, but rather how easy have we actually made it for people to do good work?

We've shared our take below and the article that started our rabbit hole is worth a read too: https://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/australian-economy/hidden-tax-thats-holding-australia-back/news-story/fd876bc9099c4ae354d3ac4a327135aa?utm_source=chatgpt.com.

This NAIDOC Week we celebrate the history, cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year's theme, 50 Years of Deadly, honours five decades of strength, leadership, culture and community, while recognising the Elders, advocates, artists and changemakers who have shaped the movement and continue to inspire future generations.

May this week be an opportunity for all of us to reflect, listen, learn and strengthen our commitment to building a more inclusive future.

It's time for the final part in our short FY27 readiness mini-series we pulled together to support you prepare for the craziness of year end. The series has covered some of the key People & Culture, employment and compliance areas Australian employers should be thinking about before 1 July.

Part 1 covered the foundations. Part 2 explored leadership priorities. This week we look at 5 simple questions we recommend organisations consider about about the people who will shape your future success.

As always, if you could do with some support please reach out. We’d love to help your team to get prepared for a successful year ahead!
