Where To Focus on Employee Engagement
Rather than addressing everyone equally, the greatest ROI comes from focus on teams & people that are already
engaged
Swing Vote
Use the ‘highly
engaged’ to influence
those that haven’t yet
made up their minds
to come along with
you on your change
journey
Informal
Leaders
Successful change
begins with
identifying those
people that are
already modeling the
change you want,
and enlisting them as
leaders
Out of Scope
This group will likely
never change and will
see a low ROI on
change investment
Target nr.2
This group is open to
change if given a
strong sense of
purpose, autonomy
and priorities that
matter
Target nr.1
We want to identify
this group and use
them to influence and
engage the ’Swing
Vote’ in the middle
Highly
Engaged
Undecided
Disengaged
Research shows that
most engagement
results fall in a
‘normal’ distribution
curve.

Good day, and welcome to this presentation. I want to present some ideas today that I hope will spark some different thinking about how you use Employee and Customer insights. There are a lot of companies out there offering data insights. But our focus is going to be in a different place - on how to actually change and do something DIFFERENT with the insights. I call that the Why What and How of Change.
So let’s start with a few questions…
‘Why do we do surveys’?
Companies gather insights for a lot of different reasons (name a few)
You may hear me hit on this theme often but the goal of any insights should be to help us drive better business performance and profit. To build Competitive Advantage. But I would say to reach those goals, you need to first align your organization on a cleared strategic vision – what are you going to be doing DIFFERENTLy in the next 3 to 5 years? Where are you today and do you know all you need to know about what drives and motivates your customers and employees, who will determine how far you go towards that vision?
‘What do we do with the information?
For those of us who have run any kind of survey, we know it just isn’t enough to show business leaders data. We’re good at giving people ‘lists of things to do’. I call that the ‘What’ of Change.
The ‘What’ involves more than lists. It’s ‘what to change’ in the way they think about and respond to problems, determining which processes and organizational habits to change, and which new habits and skill. Without addressing these issues your organization and teams will simply will be stuck doing the same things in the same way, after they complete the survey ‘Action Plan’. It involves understanding of What Motivates Us, Behavior Science, Positive Psychology, Coaching and Change Management.
‘How can we really change?’
The ‘How’ involves helping them practice and learn how to implement new mindset and behaviors. This is the ‘Why’, What and How of Change and how to turn data insights into real sustainable Change.
I want to share what we have learned from decades of working with organizations and how to use data insights as part of a business transformation, a Change Journey, where the outcome is better business performance and profit. To build Competitive advantage.
There’s good business case
This graph shows how over 8 years the stock performance of CX leaders grew over laggards by 80%
With regard to growth, on average, an industry’s Net Promoter leader outgrew its competitors by a factor greater than two times.
NPS Leaders Customers:
-Buy More
-Stay longer
-Refer friends
-Provide feedback and ideas
In other words, a company’s Net Promoter Score is a good indicator of its future growth.
From these last 2 slides, we see that the key to business growth is understanding what is in the mind of your customers, but business growth also comes as you raise the productivity, innovation and engagement of your employees
What could you know if you understood the mind of your best customers and employees? What would be the value to you of knowing this information?
As you think about the business value of these insights, what questions would you want to ask? What could you do with that information? What does that make you want to do differently with your customer and employee surveys?
Where are you today in your organization? Where would you like to be in 2 or 3 years? These are a few of the key areas where companies want to transform
The main idea here is to do parallel measurements of Employees and Customers
– to understand what attracts and retains them
What is the experience they have with our organization and what parts of that experience resonate the strongest
What drives satisfaction and engagement
There are a few things that companies need to change in the way they think about and respond to feedback…

This is the way to think about organizing your insights to do a Change Journey
