And for a long time engagement scores have been the go-to metric that HR teams use when they need to demonstrate their impact on business results.

It's one of the unwritten rules of management. It's also one of the hardest things for new managers to wrap their heads around. It's not your fault, but it's your problem.". Let's deconstruct that a bit. New managers were often very high performing individual contributors (ICs). The great thing about being an IC is that you only have to worry about one person - and that person is you. But your performance as an IC convinced us that you'd make a good manager of people. For the most part that's true. You have to be the coach for the new manager. Your job is to push as the director, but careful!

In 2007 The Corporate Manslaughter Act was created, and its overarching reason was to create increased legal accountability for companies and their failings. It allowed courts to convict organisations as a whole, instead of having to find a senior employee liable. However, very few fines or prosecutions have been enforced since its inception.
