Jazz Up Your Annual Report

Surveys have long been a part of the internal communications landscape. You file them under, ‘Things You Have To Do,’ get them done and move on. But that’s not moving the needle on engagement. So how do you turn your employee survey project into something that actually moves the needle on employee engagement? For this episode, we wanted a new perspective on how surveys can help communicators measure and improve employee engagement. We turned our attention across the pond to the growing UK movement, Engage for Success and one of its leaders, Jo Dodds. Jo is an independent Employee Engagement Consultant, speaker, trainer, and facilitator who specializes in productivity, well-being, and employee engagement. In this episode, Jo shares her favorite tips for making your survey count and how to turn your results into real engagement gains.
