Build Action Plans Based on Employee Sentiment
What an employee perceives— based on what they hear, see, feel and think —is usually what they believe. As a leader, you can’t always control what happens, but you can help shape and guide the way your team members process their experiences. To move the needle on employee satisfaction, an organization must become self-aware and understand its own DNA. Leaders who listen can have the conversations necessary to infuse accountability into the company culture, causing an increase in commitment to work and employee morale. With effective survey software like Paycor Pulse, you can promote accountability and take the necessary steps to respond to employee feedback.
