Hey everyone! It can be SO easy to get swept up in excitement once you realize employee surveys are nothing to be feared. However, it's important to start slow. Just like an Olympic gymnast didn't do 1,000 crunches in a day and wake up with a six-pack landing a quadruple flip on national TV, you shouldn't try to send a bunch of surveys without a clear goal or a plan to do something with the data! 

This episode helps you get off on the right foot with surveys so you don't fatigue your survey muscle right out the gate. That only ends in your own impostor syndrome convincing you that you suck-- because you don't 😊

Key Themes:

• How and why to start slow
• What happens if you don't and how it affects culture
• My recipe for beginner survey success
• The importance of trust and clarity
• Using tools and tech wisely

You can’t drive engagement with little to no budget. It’s LITERALLY impossible. This is like working with both arms tied behind your back or trying to drive a car with no gas.

Key Themes:

- HR budgets are ESSENTIAL for engagement
- Communicating budget needs to executives
- High costs of employee turnover
- Smart tools and training investments
- My cat trying to scare me to death
- Agonizing stories from HR leaders with no budget

Hey, friends! Today, we’re diving into some of the things I'm seeing online giving me the ick. It's why you're confused, and why you don't know what to do to drive engagement.

Key Points:

• It's okay not to be okay; start with cleaning your desk. Clear your psyche.
• Today's HR content is vague and unhelpful. If you're on an HR webinar and you're being given high-level advice without storytelling or literary tactical tips to get started,  GET OFF. 
• 'The Moments that Matter campaign' is one of the sexiest, yet most dangerously vague HR campaigns I've seen to date. Nobody other than your employees can tell you what it will take to drive engagement. You must learn the art of thinking for yourself with survey data and prioritizing what you're working on against the employee hierarchy of needs.
• How to properly shop for tech for a smoother, company-wide rollout 
• Send me your survey results anytime and I can pinpoint exactly what to work on for the greatest impact. 

Tools I love with CEO's I've personally met with:
Check out Leapsome
Check out Charthop
Check out Wrenly

TODAY'S EPISODE
If I asked you right now, What are your company's values? Could you tell me without cheating and looking at the website? 😂

If you’re like most organizations, these words aren't actively used in daily decision-making. Without strong, believed-in, and actionable values, chaos and inconsistency take over. This disconnect often explains why growth and revenue targets seem just out of reach, held back by a disengaged workforce and a frustrated CEO.

As your workforce grows and diversifies, it’s vital to reassess and re-engage with your core values. Use this script to initiate a conversation with your executive team about revisiting and reinforcing the principles that guide your company.

Cinderella stories of what's moved the engagement needle at other companies are inspiring, but what you need. You need tactics. You need to learn how to think for yourself. 

You have a different CEO, different employees, a different offering, different industry, different stage of growth. I will teach you how to think about solving for disengagement at YOUR  company.

Only when you become incredible at listening to your people, will you unlock that big, beautiful HR career that you deserve. (...and you're closer than you think!)

Have you ever worked on a cool initiative only for it to flop? When employees are still disengaged after all your hard work, it's likely because you're working on things in the wrong order.

Allow me to introduce you to the Employee Hierarchy of Needs. Just like Maslow's Hierarchy, you need to make sure certain needs have been met before you build on others.

The way we show up as a adults has a LOT to do with our childhood. Learning how to better understand why your executives react the way they do will level-up your career!

I highly recommend a book called, 'What happened to you?'

It changed the way I react to the chaos of an exec who loses their cool. This is a powerful way to show up as a leader yourself,  and a great way to build trust and tap into your power of influence.

I also mentioned Blinkist, a faster way to absorb the books I reccomend!
