Vantage Point

Bad news: employee engagement stalled out in 2023, according to Gallup. Only 1/3 of employees were engaged with their jobs and workplaces. That continues a slow decline over the past four years. As employers, how we can make things better? It starts with understanding what individual people really want and need. And making sure that organizations and employees are aligned on expectations. For more insights, check out the Gallup article on last year’s engagement trends. https://buff.ly/3u3WlJw #employeeengagement #hr #workplaceculture

Is your business bringing team members back to the office in 2024? While working together in person may have benefits, your success depends on active steps to ensure everyone is on the same page.   🤐 Face-to-face interactions don’t guarantee insight into what’s going on under the surface. You can’t count on employees to voice their concerns out loud, even if you see them in person 3-5 days a week.       👥 With more employees working shoulder to shoulder, you may see more internal issues like harassment or clashes over schedules and workloads. As an employer, you face the challenge of spotting these problems and resolving them before they get worse.     What’s the cure? Vantage Point, from PrevailHQ, helps you stay connected with how employees really feel. 🤝    Make it your New Year’s resolution to build relationships and loyalty on data, not guesswork—no matter where your people are working.   #employeeengagement  #hr  #workforcedisruptions  #vantagepoint   

Expectations drive employee engagement. Every employee brings their own set of expectations to work – just as you have expectations for their performance.   Want to know what employees say about your company? Take an NPS survey.  Want to impact what they actually do?   Understand and fix the root causes of disengagement: the unmet expectations that alienate workers from their jobs.   #employeeengagement #hr #workforcedisruptions

Employees’ expectations are shifting, and it’s not just about individual preferences. A new generation is bringing a fresh set of ideas to the workplace.    A 2023 article by Cheri Beranek in Entrepreneur highlights what today’s young workers expect:      ✮ Individualized feedback from superiors.  ✮ A forum to communicate their needs.   ✮ A purpose, not just a paycheck.   Our take: To stay ahead, employers need to keep their ears to the ground. And they need to respond quickly when they detect a clash of expectations.     Give the article a read: https://buff.ly/3yXkHU4   And follow Vantage Point for insights on creating a winning work climate. 

When expectations clash, that’s the recipe for internal workforce disruptions (such as rising turnover).    As this article from HBR notes, managers are often caught in the middle between employees’ expectations for their jobs and leadership’s expectations for performance.   How can you keep this dynamic under control? A key step is knowing whether your work environment is meeting employee expectations and where it’s falling short.   That doesn’t mean giving up your expectations for employee performance. It does mean implementing systems that focus on the right variables and deliver actionable insights – so you can know where any problems lie.  https://buff.ly/3WiRVXu   #employeeengagement #hr #workforcedisruptions
