5. Energize & Engage
Engagement gets you retention
People proud of the company, willing to stay, helping out
when needed, working on positive and friendly
relationships, getting what they need at work, liking the
cafeteria food, enjoying themselves at work, happy,
content, but not always doing what is needed to succeed.
Need something more than engagement to drive high
performance at work.
Engaged
Energized
Energy gets you high performance
Passion, sense of urgency, moving forward fast and
faster, innovating, exploring, engaging in the “right
fights” (courageous), moving the company in the
direction it needs to win or to beat the competition,
uncomfortable perhaps but successful and focused
on winning.

11. Fast HRM Principles
Implementation is done using Fast HRM™ principles and
methodologies. Fast HRM comes from research on the drivers of
high performance firms, eePulse’s learning from fast, weekly
survey work done since 1996 and from proven tools from agile and
extreme programming.

13. Measure frequently
In a world with high change, the
“rhythm” of HR measurement must
match the rhythm of the business if
the organization wants INSIGHTS
that drive dialogue, action and results.
Example:
Did this manager experience change?
Did this manager need help? Compare
what the two sets of metrics would tell
you. What actions would you take
based on each?

• Priority reports show managers
which questions to act on first to
drive fast action
– 2 x 2 which plots questions
that are low and that are of
high importance in driving
energy
• Meeting-in-a-box report
– Customized power point, with
speaker notes, that helps
managers engage in
dialogue. These are provided
to all managers.

28. Action Taking Home Page
Simplified layout and pages
so that you can do 3 things
1. Work on opportunities
(just yours – can’t work
on others)
2. View reports – any
combination. Icons take
you to quick win charts;
view reports tab takes
you to the opportunity
list.
3. Export to Excel
Goal is to make it easy for managers to start taking actions.

29. Quick Win Chart
Idea is to focus managers on
items in the yellow box first –
where the quick wins are (they
own the opportunity and it is
short term in nature). We want
employees to see action right
away so that you start to create
positive energy around the
survey process.

them, you are still in report
pages)

30. Track ROI
Help get managers
engaged in the
process and
submitting best
practices. Create a
best practice library
that is specific and
compelling, and learn
what’s in the black
box (what managers
are doing to drive
performance). Track
return on investment.
