In today's people-first companies, a robust employee engagement toolkit is crucial. It's tempting to think that adopting a modern pulse survey solution is a silver bullet for solving most critical engagement issues, but is it really that simple?
While these modern tools are great at collecting troves of employee engagement data, issues typically arise when you need to interpret it to get meaningful insights and act on them. In this blog post, we'll delve deep into the reasons why action isn't always taken on pulse data and explore how Teamspective's unique AI-powered Pulse Snapshots are changing the game.
Why does engagement data remain underutilized?
When it comes to managing employee engagement data, there are two significant pain points that businesses encounter:
1. Managers are too busy to analyze data
Engagement data is a valuable asset for any organization, but managers focusing on the daily needs of the business often lack the time to properly analyze it. With limited time for analysis, they find themselves overwhelmed by an abundance of information, making it hard to effectively understand and act based on engagement data.
As a result, engagement dashboards and reports are underutilized, leading to missed improvement opportunities. When managers do not engage with this data properly, preventable issues within their teams can escalate, impacting employee productivity, motivation and many other factors.
To address this issue, it is crucial to make engagement data more accessible and actionable for managers, helping them easily spot negative trends in their teams and define best ways to address those.
2. People team’s capacity for providing individual guidance is limited
On the other hand, the People team faces the impossible task of guiding every manager in the organization to use engagement insights and take action. The sheer scale and diversity of managerial roles, coupled with limited support resources, make it impractical to offer tailored guidance to each manager.
Teamspective’s research shows that 83% of teams have different challenges compared to company level priorities. Thus, every team needs to be active in discussing the issues they are experiencing and what actions they could take.
As managerial autonomy increases, decision-makers are expected to use their judgment when addressing team-related issues. To bridge skill gaps and address time constraints, HR can provide training and resources, but they may not always be available for real-time support.
Hence, organizations are turning to a more proactive approach, empowering managers with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need to autonomously interpret the engagement data and act upon it with the limited time available. In an ideal world, this shift toward self-sufficiency should not only ease the burden on HR but also foster a culture of data-driven decision-making across the organization.
