5 ways to use Agile to act on employee feedback

5 ways to use Agile to act on employee feedback | Adaptive Leadership and Cultures | Scoop.it
Are you looking for a way to take action on employee feedback quickly and effectively? Learn how from Culture Amp Customer Success Coach Monique Hughes.
Andrew Gerkens's insight:

I like the idea of acting fast on employee feedback - getting groups together to work with high intensity over a short period of time. Resource the sprint, get the results and move on. My experience with traditional engagement surveys, is that action planning takes time and then a bunch of people are given stretch opportunities working in cross functional teams to act on the results. The intent is sound, but in practice, the projects trickle along and apart from the lack of progress, the project team members gain little from the opportunity and if anything, end up less engaged.

Managing a manager myth: Development and leadership matter more than managers

Most of us have heard time and time again that "people don't leave companies, they leave managers". I can't recall ever seeing any compelling evidence for this. In our upcoming 2016 New Tech benchmark
Andrew Gerkens's insight:

A really interesting piece exploring the popular myth that "people join organisations, but leave managers". Culture Amp employee engagement data explores the myth and the findings may surprise you...

The team found that the effect of career development and leadership far outweighed the effects of immediate managers and pay. The effect of career development ratings was substantially larger than any other factor.

People are more likely to leave companies that don't provide them with good development opportunities and leadership. Even good managers are likely to struggle to retain key employees and manage team retention rates if these things are not looked after.
