Few things could be worse for a company that is aspiring to build the best employee experience than a breach of employee data. Not only would it cause employee anxiety, anger, and frustration, it would also jeopardize employee trust. Moreover, the company would likely incur the hard and soft costs of legal fees, compensatory damages, and lost employee productivity. If so, how frequently? 3.

As someone who works on a product to increase diversity in the workforce, it has been exciting to witness the media attention around diversity issues this year. Articles abound, dominated by reports of diversity statistics and pledges at leading tech firms, discussions of measures, like the Rooney Rule, to increase the number of diverse candidates in the pipeline, and coverage of diversity lawsuits. While I am encouraged by the discourse and the positive changes it can foster, I have become increasingly aware of what is largely left out of the conversation. Kanjoya Can Help.

A constant challenge for managers is balancing immediate concerns with employee development and growth. Too often, in the rush to meet deadlines, prepare deliverables, and focus on direct revenue producers, we don’t find the time to discuss our reports’ career goals and development. Instead, we put these conversations on the back burner, and relegate them to the periods, once or twice a year, when performance reviews take place. Despite good intentions, we all do it, and it’s a constant struggle. But research shows that professional development does impact the bottom line, in measurable ways.

Deploying employee surveys and acting on them demonstrate your commitment to employees. People appreciate their voices being heard and seeing the changes they initiate. However, most employee surveys are structured or analyzed in ways that oversimplify or distort the meaning or intent of employee feedback. The outcomes? You overlook true employee concerns, or you build an employee experience or invest in action plans that are irrelevant to what employees need or want. These mistakes could compromise employee trust, loyalty, and motivation. DO survey frequently, but don’t be annoying.

In today’s world, we laud innovation as essential for businesses seeking to remain competitive in the global marketplace. We know that innovation, and growth and progress, are critical for companies’ success, but what about the less attractive word underlying these processes–change? While innovation sounds exciting, it is no secret that change can be messy, and hard. Most of us thrive in our routine, and changes can interrupt flow and productivity in the short term. But change is clearly at the core of any initiatives related to innovation, growth, or progress.

Before I became a manager, I was always puzzled whenever I would be asked, in employee surveys, if I felt I had a best friend at work. Why would my employer care? Through my experiences as a manager and as a professional working with employee engagement solutions, I’ve learned why. Having a best friend indicates engagement, which in turn, correlates with productivity and other performance metrics. So employers ask this question to evaluate their likelihood of retaining and motivating employees. In fact, barring a “major” personal loss, I would be mortified if I cried at work. No, not really.
