Anthem Engagement have been working with HSS Hire for 6 years. We interviewed Max Morgan, Group HR Director, to discuss the challenge HSS were facing, the solution and results of doing an engagement survey.

“The colleague engagement survey is an invaluable tool for us to understand how engaged our colleagues are with all things HSS.

We have seen response rates improve year on year. Our colleagues are telling us what they enjoy about HSS, but more importantly, what we can improve. It helped support 2-way communication with colleagues across the business.

The action plans from each business division have helped to develop a programme of ‘You Said, We Did’ feedback to include in all communications activity, supported our engagement, benefits and wellbeing strategies and informed how and what we communicate in our colleague engagement channels including Hiya magazines & bulletins.

It has allowed us to collate colleague feedback which has led to areas of concern becoming a focus for improvement at a local level and helped us to understand why these concerns are important to colleagues and to help implement change.”

# # Safety Recall - !! Action Required !! Employee Engagement # #

The safety of our Facebook and the reliability of your colleagues are what should be your top priorities.

Extensive analyses (over 2.5million of them) have found employee disengagement will ultimately destroy your business. They have left in their heads, but are still on the payroll.

For SAFETY REASONS, it is necessary to check your employee engagement levels, and if required to boost them up.

Do you realise that a real-life engaged workforce outperforms a disengaged workforce by 28%?
And are 51% more productive?
What if I told you that an increase in engagement by 2.5% over a 12-month period on average adds 4% to the bottom line?

Checks will be carried out on your:
- Career development
- Competitive salaries and benefits
- Employee engagement and satisfaction
- Leadership and company culture
- Positive reputation
- Work/Life balance

The work will be carried out by professional survey experts, here at Anthem Engagement, and will - of course - be performed FREE of charge.

Book it in with me ([email protected]) today.

We greatly appreciate the extra workshop visit. Happy driving. 🚙

My aim is to help the North West workforce do better. 🤩

And what we do matters.

Because at the heart of it, these are people.

People in our community. People with jobs. People with lives.

And these people aren’t stupid.

When their own values don’t match those of their employer, there is a disconnect of culture.

It’s my job to get those two in-sync, and how they do this is by:

1) listening to them
2) doing a culture and values anonymous survey for all colleagues and leaders
3) compare results to other similar sized / same profession
4) acting on the findings

Does your employer do that? 🤔 Thought not. 🫣

In 22 years, with 2.5million datapoints, we have committed to all our clients to make it matter.

What would make employee surveys better for you? 🧐

Here’s an update from our MD Steve Smith 🌞

“I’m so glad to be back working after my stroke and my recovery is going well.

And I hope you are NOT working so hard, (if you are, come and use my blood pressure monitor)

It’s not worth it. 🤐

The things I’ve learned from this business training session 😛 are Determination and Patience.

These are two must haves and mustn’t be shortcut.

Enjoy the weekend ahead, whatever you’re doing. “ 😇🤩

Let’s get real for a moment. Almost 70% of the North West workforce believes that employee surveys are a total flop. They think surveys are just a waste of time and never really capture the true pulse of what’s happening inside a business. If you’re nodding along, it might be time for a fresh approach! 🚀

But fear not! I’m here to shake things up with surveys that actually make a difference. Here’s a breakdown of how I do things differently:

1. Survey Questions That Pack a Punch! 💥
Forget cookie-cutter questions that don’t get to the heart of the matter. If you’re asking the same old questions or using someone else’s tired templates, you’re missing out. My surveys are designed to dive deep, using ‘Listening Groups’ that capture real feedback in your own language. Ready for some honest, actionable insights?

2. Reports That Tell a Story! 📊
Say goodbye to boring tables and graphs. My reports are visual treats—think infographics that tell a compelling story! Or we’ll show you how to ‘Understand Your Results’ and you should have your HR Director do a face-to-camera piece (or for me if you prefer). Transparency is key and sharing your survey results everywhere from AGMs to the canteen. Make those results count!

3. Break the Cycle with Effective Communication! 🔄
Henry Ford once said, “If You Always Do What You’ve Always Done, You’ll Always Get What You’ve Always Got.” If you want better survey responses, don’t stick to the same old communication strategies. I advocate for clear, engaging communication about the survey’s purpose, how it works, and how employees can get involved. Show them what’s in it for them!

4. Local and Proud! 🌍
A North West company for North West companies! Local connections matter. Don’t just conduct a survey—make it meaningful for your leaders, workers, and customers. A survey should reflect the values and needs of your community. Let’s make it count!

5. Be on Their Side, Not on a Witch Hunt! 🕵️‍♀️
Surveys should never feel like a setup. If employees feel like they’re being scrutinized or judged, they’re going to give you token answers at best. If you’ve heard, “Quick, look busy—HR is coming!” or, “If you don’t answer positively, they’ll fire you!”—that’s a screaming red flag. Surveys should be about genuine feedback and improvement, not fear and intimidation.

6. Partner with an Expert (It’s Worth It!) 💡
I get it—cost is always a consideration. Investing in a good survey process is crucial. I recently heard from a HR Director who couldn’t get budget approval, only to see on LinkedIn that the leadership team had gone on a 2-day trip, which included an expo day. Priorities matter! Listening to your staff is just as important, if not more so.

So, HR professionals and business leaders—how do these ideas resonate with you? Ready to revolutionise your surveys and make them a powerful tool for positive change? Let’s chat and make it happen!

Cheers to even better workplaces! 🌟

The Best of the North West Assessments are hotting up nicely 🧨🔥

It helps us ALL to see which are the North West’s best employers through the eyes of the workers. The real truth.

Key to chart:

EEI = Employee Engagement Index
Emotional = this measure looks at what they FEEL working for their employer
Rational = this measure assesses what workers THINK of their job and their employer
Motivational = this measure depends on how well motivated they are and what they DO

It’s not to replace your annual survey (although some are using it as such), it is an corporate assessment.

Some organisations use this for one or two teams, or an office, to get a temperature check. You don’t have to do it for the whole headcount.

If you want to know more visit www.anthem-engagement.co.uk or message me.

Thanks. Are you the Best in the North West?

Edit. These company name are fake 🤐🤩

Which gender is the most engaged in the North West?

This Is the truth about the gender engagement gap.

When it comes to survey questions, there are some questions that can prove rather sensitive, particularly those based on demographics, which are typically used to gather essential background information about a survey participant.

So I’m nervous around this post…😬

Would it surprise you that in the North West, woman-led companies have more engaged and inspired employees?

By how much?
