70% of employees are disengaged. If you’re not conducting regular engagement surveys, you’re running the risk of losing those employees.

An engagement survey can shed light on areas of concern that could make the difference in turning a disengaged employee who’s at risk of leaving your company into an engaged employee who’s actively contributing to your mission. While you won’t be able to immediately fix every concern, a properly executed survey can show you where the low-hanging fruit is to immediately make a tangible change within your company.

Check out our FREE Engagement Survey Guide that gives you tools, tips, and strategies for taking the pulse of your employees. It even includes our recommended questions that you should ask employees on your survey!

Are we holding too many meetings?

Since shifting to a flexible WFH arrangement, HR leaders are finding that meetings are too frequent, too long, and lack focus.

So what’s the solution? It’s simple…Give employees autonomy to decide for themselves whether they should attend meetings or not. 63% of HR leaders agree that doing so can increase productivity and satisfaction while reducing burnout.

Some of the worst advice you've been given is to “go with your gut” when hiring.

Unfortunately, our guts can be riddled with bias.

There's lots of reasons why. But as just one example, we tend to like people more if they are similar to us. So we unconsciously go easier on people in interviews if they have shared interests, or if we like them more.

The downside is that making hiring decisions based on you like more means you miss out on a huge pool of really qualified talent - talent who thinks and acts differently than you do. It result in hiring "culture clones" instead of "culture adds."
