Why wait until once a year to get some kind of view on what's going on in an organisation?
These kinds of surveys only tell you what you should know anyway, don’t they? I know more organisations are waking up to this fact, but many still are not. Equally it should not just be the job of your Engagement Team to understand these things – all leaders should be asking their people on a regular basis.
Leaders need to be more curious!
In a dynamic, fast-moving world, you need to be asking these questions often – in a manner that works for your organisation. I particularly love question four: Can you list for me the factors that could contribute to your doing the best work of your life?
Can you list for me the factors that could contribute to your doing the best work of your life? This question comes from Dr. John Sullivan, an HR thought leader and former chief talent officer for Agilent Technologies. Sullivan notes that this --the "best work of your life" question--is the No. 1 retention factor for top performers.
