Great Blog on Pulse Surveys here
Purpose of employee surveys is to: 1. Listen to employees to uncover how you can help the business 2. Diagnose drivers of business results 3. Take action to improve those key drivers 4. Demonstrate impact Apply the model to weight loss: 1. Listen to our body – this is when we would take a baseline measurement and weigh ourselves. 2. Identify the drivers of being overweight – this is when we would identify root causes of our current weight. 3. Take action to improve those key drivers – this is where you build an action plan and execute against that plan. 4. Demonstrate impact – this is when we measure to assess the impact of our plan and make adjustments to our action plan for the next three months.
Just weighing yourself more often won’t make the pounds disappear!

The strongest item driver from the survey is about the realities of the job being aligned with new hire expectations. Focus on realistic expectation setting. When the job experience of a new hire differs from that which the employee believes he/she is entering into, they are more likely to leave the organization soon after hire. New hire experiences of being treated as a valued member of the team are important to turnover. Ensure that managers and team members are creating a welcoming environment for new hires. Having the necessary tools and resources is an important factor in new hire retention. Ensure that new hires feel they are well equipped to being their jobs successfully. Connecting new hires to the overall mission of the
factor in new hire retention. Ensure that new hires understand how their role is connected to the mission of the organization; Managers and colleagues must demonstrate the core values of the organization on a daily basis.

Annual Survey Onboarding Recommendations
Overall Recommendations
– Starting with recruitment, set realistic expectations about the job, responsibilities, hours/schedule, culture, the organization, and any other relevant aspects of the role – Work with managers to get a full understanding of the role to prepare new hires before they begin work
2. Valid selection process
– Understand the skillset needed for the position – Use a standardized process to assess candidates
3. Measure new hire experiences
– Use analytics to understand the drivers of premature turnover – Action plan with hiring managers on key drivers of turnover
factors that drive turnover are often very different by stage
