In Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace 2023 revealed that the UK remains one of the least engaged workforces
in Europe, ranking 33 out of 38 among countries.
Striking the right balance between providing
top-notch service to clients and safeguarding the well-being of your workforce
presents a substantial challenge.
If you want some guidance then do this:
𝐎𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞
What do you see, hear and feel when you observe
interactions between people? Do you feel satisfied and confident that services
to clients are being delivered to the highest level? Is your team consistently
motivated, giving their best effort each day, or do you notice signs of waning
enthusiasm, interpersonal conflicts, and a negative atmosphere?
𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭
Pay attention to your instincts and perceptions
because they may signal an underlying problem that demands resolution. Ignoring
what you see, hear and feel could result in the loss of your most talented
employees and the potential for a toxic work environment.
𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦
Your challenges could stem from a variety of areas
including:
· Ineffective
supervision
· Low
employee engagement
· Poor
hiring decisions

𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱 1
Ask employees how they feel about working for your
firm. Do they feel included, valued and respected? You can collect this
information by survey, but make sure you use closed ended questions? To
dig deeper conduct focus groups. No more than 10 and ask open ended
questions to gain a deeper insight.
𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱 2
Analyse responses together with quantitative data,
such as: productivity metrics, retention rate and time per hire. Are there any
common themes and patterns? What needs to change?
𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱 3
Take necessary actions to enhance the employee
experience to resolve identified issues. Consider if your values are still
appropriate or whether training is required for specific individuals and
teams.
𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱 4
Continuously monitor business outcomes,
performance metrics, and employee behaviours through short pulse surveys and
one-on-one meetings.
