<p>No matter how engaged your team is, you can be sure that occasionally people will leave. But just as you wouldn't employ a person without interviewing them, its probably not a good idea to let a person leave your business without interviewing them either. Why? Lets give this some thought...</p>
<p>Everyone that came to work for you did so for a reason. Maybe for the money, for the job, for the brand or for the leadership team. When you hired them both parties felt good about the decision, but over time the employee started to think differently and made a decision to move on.</p>
<p>So what changed? When did it change? Why did it change? How can you get these answers?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The Exit Interview</h3>
<p>Most businesses don't put enough value on the exit interview. They decide that the employee wasn&rsquo;t a good fit anymore and dismiss feedback in favour of recruitment. But understanding an employee's motivation for leaving could unlock some really good insight on how to improve your business and/or engage better with your employees. It could also stop you wasting a lot of time and money on expensive recruitment exercises.</p>
<p>Ask yourself the following;</p>
<ol>
<li>Do you conduct exist interviews in your business? If yes, what value do you place on the information you get back? If no, why not? The person is leaving anyway. You might just learn something!</li>
<li>What questions do you ask? Are they helpful in extracting the information you want from the existing employee?</li>
<li>What do you do with the information afterwards? Do you feed the trends and learnings from your leaver process into your employee engagement plans and activity?</li>
</ol>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Lasting impressions&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Exit interviews conducted at the time of leaving tend to be polarised. Typically those willing to participate have some intense opinions they want to share, or they just want to get it over with as quickly as possible. Either way, you&rsquo;re probably not going to get the quality insight and information you are hoping for.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But once the employee have been out of the organisation for a few months they form their lasting impressions. These are the real opinions and insights that have stayed with them - the ones they are likely to share with others, good or bad. This is the contribution they&rsquo;ll be making to your employer brand if anyone asks their opinion on your business.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So wouldn&rsquo;t you like to know what they are saying? Positive feedback could help you recruit. Negative can add to your engagement plan to address and improve retention.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Benchmarking</h3>
<p>3 months in and your leaver is likely to be established in their new job. They are making comparisons, forming opinions and making recommendations. This can be really powerful information about what are they are really loving about their new employer.&nbsp;</p>
<p>But, now they have a benchmark what do they miss about working in your business? What is the new company getting right that you didn&rsquo;t? Do they have any recommendations for you to help you improve?&nbsp;</p>
<p>3 months after they&rsquo;ve left and the answers to these questions now have additional useful context for your business.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Maintaining relationships&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Getting back in touch with an employee after they&rsquo;ve left to make them feel heard, valued and respected one more time can help to establish a positive ongoing relationship. You create a highly valuable brand ambassador for your business!</p>
<p>This person will promote your company and help smooth the path for new colleagues to find you. If they regret their decision, it could keep the door open for a return in the future too!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>How to do it</h3>
<p>We suggest you ask permission to contact the employee again as part of the leaver process. Explain why you&rsquo;d like to and get an email address to send an online survey too. Then send out a survey at the 3 month mark. Make sure it's short and won't put them off.</p>
<p>For this kind of survey, you may find that allowing them to write their own responses (qualitative data), rather than rating you on a scale (quantitive data), is more useful and effective. Don&rsquo;t be concerned if you don&rsquo;t get a response, some people leave and never look back, but those that do could help you be better leaders in the future and prevent the same mistakes happening again.</p>
<p>And as with any data you receive, don&rsquo;t waste it! You&rsquo;ve gone to the effort of collecting it, so make sure it has the impact it deserves.&nbsp;</p>
<p>So double-down on collecting insight from your leavers by enhancing and extending your exit interview process. Collecting data and insight 3 months after an employee has left your business, offers a clearer picture of what went wrong, what went right and where improvements can be made.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The feedback you obtain could be vital in helping you attract and retain better employees and put a better Employee Engagement framework in place. It could prevent the next good person leaving and help you build an outstanding company culture.</p>

Exit Interviews... Is ignorance bliss?

<p>#lockdown2uk will undoubtedly impact employee engagement and wellbeing. A hard lockdown followed by a long period of home-working has hurt many businesses.</p>
<p>So as we head into a second lockdown how can you make sure your team remains connected, fulfilled and inspired to uphold the mission and values of your business?</p>
<p>Here's our top tips to set you and your team up for success...</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>1.Learn from last time</h4>
<p>This time round, we&rsquo;re more prepared. Speak to your leaders, reflect what worked and what didn't work and prepare you plan accordingly.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>2. Address concerns early</h4>
<p>Make it clear how you will be responding to lockdown. Communicate what it means to your business and the impact it may have. Sometimes, saying&nbsp;&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t know right now&rdquo; is an opportunity to demonstrate transparency and build trust.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>3. Connect and listen</h4>
<p>Informally speak to your team and find out what they are worried about regarding a second lockdown. Is there anything you can solve before it becomes a problem? Is there advice you can give, or signpost them towards?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>4. Address work-life balance</h4>
<p>What responsibilities and life admin do your team have? Can you accommodate it? Can you make things easier to relieve some of the pressure and acknowledge their life outside of work?&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>5. Check your tech&nbsp;</h4>
<p>Have you and your team got what you need to be a productive remote team? Can&nbsp;everyone remember their log ins?! Is everyone&rsquo;s equipment still fit for purpose. Not having the basics can be really frustrating and disengaging.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>6. Set personal boundaries</h4>
<p>What hours will you work? Can people contact you always? Will you not take calls after a certain time? Set a great example for&nbsp;your team and role model good practice so your team can follow suit.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>7. Connecting as a team</h4>
<p>Agree how and when you&rsquo;ll come together as a team - agree on what you&rsquo;ll use the time for&nbsp;so that it is focused and productive -&nbsp;get the dates and times in diaries in&nbsp;advance&nbsp;and demonstrate how important it is to you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>8. Goal setting</h4>
<p>Set short term goals, ensure you and the team are focused on what&nbsp;you need to deliver over the coming weeks - set some clear deliverables and deadlines if you need to, to keep everyone on track and engaged.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>9. One-to-ones</h4>
<p>Plan one to ones and team updates in your diary, make them non-movables, these are important times to check in on the wellbeing and engagement of your team, don&rsquo;t let them slip - put them in your diary now!&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4>10. Wellbeing warnings</h4>
<p>Refresh your memory on wellbeing in the workplace, so that you have resources to draw on if you see any of your team struggling.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.mind.org.uk/media-a/4662/resource3_howtopromotewellbeingfinal.pdf">This is a good resource.</a></p>
<p>Of course, these are all things you really should be doing anyway, so why not use #lockdown2uk as an excuse to put a better Employee Engagement framework in place. The benefits will be felt far beyond #lockdown2uk as productivity and performance increases and your retention of great people guarantees an outstanding company culture.</p>

Employee engagement is crucial for accountancy firms as it directly impacts productivity, client satisfaction and firm reputation. Engaged employees are more likely to go the extra mile to understand client needs, provide tailored solutions and build long-term relationships. High levels of engagement reduce turnover rates, saving recruitment costs and preserving institutional knowledge.
                

Measure employee engagement in accountancy firms through regular surveys assessing factors like job satisfaction, work-life balance and alignment with firm values. Include questions on communication effectiveness, career development opportunities and recognition. Analyse survey results to identify areas for improvement and gauge overall engagement levels.

 A great employee engagement platform will give you the data, insight and feedback you need to enact real change in your organisation. Using a third-party platform adds an extra layer of trust. By segmenting the data from engagement surveys, you can uncover valuable insights specific to different employee groups. You can find where your problems are coming from and create targeted actions.

How it <span class="secondary-color">works</span>

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is <br><span class="secondary-color">Employee Engagement?</span></h3><p>To put it in its simplest form: Employee engagement is the level of commitment, enthusiasm and dedication employees have towards their work and the organisation. </p><p>Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself in employees reaching their full potential and delivering exceptional performance at work.</p></div>

Measuring employee engagement in your legal firm can be achieved through regular employee surveys. This first step is critical in gathering data that will help you make decisions. Ideally you should be surveying your business every month so you can quickly observe any drops in engagement and affect a plan quickly to resolve issues. Regular surveys provide the data you need to build a strategic engagement plan based on real information, not gut feeling.


Using an ‘engagement specific’ survey platform will help you gather data faster, more securely and more accurately. The right platform will also make it easier for people to submit their responses in a way that’s easy for them. You’ll be able to compare results over time to analyse trends. By segmenting the data from engagement surveys, you can uncover valuable insights specific to different employee groups. You can find where your problems are coming from and create targeted actions.

Once you’ve done your first survey, things will become instantly clearer. You’ll start to see the hotpots in your company by a variety of segmentation criteria such as team, location, gender, role and tenure. Open-ended feedback will often help provide a solution to the challenges you’re seeing. We’re always amazed how much insight a first survey provides to our customers from a high level right into the detail. Measuring consistent data-points over time will help gain a deep understanding of how to build your strategic plan.

"Ten Space help HR teams identify and resolve retention hotspots quickly. The data helps you improve every stage of the employee journey including hiring, onboarding, probation, reviews and exit interviews to continuously improve the employee experience and reduce retention risks"

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is the Employee<br><span class="secondary-color">Engagement model?</span></h3><p>Some believe engagement is solely about having happy employees, but engagement goes beyond this. Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself when your employees reach their full potential and deliver exceptional performance at work.</p><p>At Ten Space we use a simple model. It helps you explore engagement in your organisation. It shows you where you already excel and where you need to focus to improve.</p></div>

When your employees feel connected to the mission of the company, their engagement improves significantly. They find meaning and purpose in their work, knowing that their efforts contribute to something larger than themselves. They become more invested in the success of your organisation, leading to higher productivity, increased job satisfaction and a stronger sense of belonging within the team.

A great leader inspires and motivates their team members, earning their trust and respect. They provide clear direction, guidance, and support, allowing employees to perform their best and reach their full potential. A great leader creates a sense of empowerment, job satisfaction and loyalty among the team, leading to enhanced employee engagement and overall success.

 Employee engagement improves when your employees feel fulfilled in their role. When individuals find their work meaningful and aligned with their values, they are motivated to invest their time and energy into their work, going above and beyond to achieve goals. This positive mindset and attitude contribute to increased productivity, stronger teamwork and a happier work environment, ultimately enhancing overall employee engagement.

The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychologically safe workplaces. Psychologically safe workplaces promote healthier, more productive and more inclusive workforces. They also provide the environment in which innovation can thrive and people can perform at their best.

Ten Space is the platform to gather regular employee feedback. Every month, your employees are able to offer the feedback and insight you need to create positive change throughout your organisation.

The Ten Space engagement model underpins the data. It ensures a consistent approach to capturing feedback that can be measured over time. Our platform helps you build the perfect question set to understand the real issues preventing high engagement. 

 Ten Space does all the hard work, saving you days of admin. Questions are sent via email, WhatsApp or SMS and responses are gathered back in the platform. No matter where your employees are or how they work, there is always an easy way for them to provide their feedback.
