<a href="https://www.flexjobs.com/blog/post/survey-resignation-workers-considering-quitting-jobs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">25%</a> of employees left their job due to toxic culture in 2022.
A workplace culture is &ldquo;<a href="https://www.predictiveindex.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">typically considered toxic</a> when trust, psychological safety, and employee morale degrade to unhealthy levels.&rdquo;
Toxic cultures are extremely dangerous for both companies and employees. Symptoms rapidly spread through a workforce if not managed. They have an impact on productivity, mental health, and employee engagement.
Here are some examples of a toxic culture:
<ul>
<li>Overworked employees</li>
<li>Chronic stress</li>
<li>Workplace bullying</li>
</ul>
In the majority of these situations, the issue stems from a lack of trust and communication among those in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/organisational-structures---where-do-you-fit" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">workplace hierarchy</a>.
&nbsp;
<h3>Effect of Toxic Culture</h3>
Staff turnover is typically very high in toxic environments as a result of this feeling of separation between employees and their leaders.
Those who feel ignored, mistreated, or exploited by their leaders often prefer to leave a company rather than file a complaint. They lack confidence that their problems will be solved.
Toxic cultures can have a huge negative effect on a company's performance. "Poor company culture" costs UK businesses a staggering&nbsp;<a href="https://www.breathehr.com/en-gb/resources/culture-economy-report-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&pound;20.2 billion</a>&nbsp;every single year.
&nbsp;
<h3>How Does it Develop?</h3>
Sadly, there are numerous ways for a toxic culture to emerge at work. While the root cause of the issue may change between each situation, generally speaking, a lack of communication exacerbates and hides the issues.
Negative or even abusive behaviour is permitted to continue when organisations don't take the time to collect employee feedback. It can spread rapidly throughout a company.
Companies should be sending out anonymous employee engagement surveys to mitigate this. Surveys can reveal early warning signals and red flags of emerging issues.&nbsp;
Organisations can jump in early when faced with concerning feedback or low engagement scores, reducing the likelihood of later problems.&nbsp;
When a toxic culture has already taken hold, there are some major warning signs to look out for:
<ul>
<li>Managers who speak condescendingly to their teams</li>
<li>A feeling of &lsquo;profits/policies over people&rsquo; where employees feel exploited</li>
<li>Micromanagers&nbsp;</li>
<li>Unsupportive performance appraisals</li>
<li>Discrimination or lack of diversity</li>
<li>Failure to recognise or reward employee achievements</li>
<li>Harassment</li>
</ul>
If you recognise any of the above signs in your workplace or business, it&rsquo;s time to:
a.) leave (if you&rsquo;re an employee)
b.) do something about it (if you&rsquo;re an employer!)
&nbsp;
<h3>Gathering Evidence:</h3>
Quantitative research on the culture of your firm can be useful for understanding what it's like to work there. Here are just a few suggestions for how to go about doing this:
<h4>1. Regular Engagement Surveys</h4>
<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/employee-engagement---starting-your-survey-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Employee engagement surveys</a> can provide a lot of quantifiable information, including eNPS scores and real-time feedback from current employees.&nbsp;
Quarterly surveys allow you to regularly check in with your team&nbsp;whilst leaving enough time to action feedback and build trust in the process.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ten Space</a>&nbsp;offers an innovative and anonymous method of surveying through Whatsapp, email and SMS, which delivers an engaging way to survey your team.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>2. Glassdoor Reviews</h4>
Glassdoor is a very helpful (and free) website where current and past employees can post honest reviews about their work experiences. While the findings of engagement surveys are most likely to be shared just within the company, Glassdoor provides a more public way of sharing feedback.
&nbsp;
<h4>3. Turnover &amp; Absenteeism</h4>
The average employee turnover rate in the UK is currently&nbsp;<a href="https://www.monster.co.uk/advertise-a-job/hr-resources/workforce-management-and-planning/staff-retention/what-is-the-ideal-employee-turnover-rate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">15%</a>&nbsp;a year. Absence and turnover rates among employees are telltale signs of a toxic workplace environment. Not all staff turnover is a terrible thing, but if your turnover rate is far higher than this, you may want to pay closer attention to your culture.
&nbsp;
<h3>Preventing Toxic Culture</h3>
While there isn't a "perfect" way to shape your culture, there are a number of essential components you'll need to create a healthy working environment.
Listen to employees -&nbsp;Your staff may currently have the solutions to the majority, if not all, of your problems. Utilise the knowledge that employee engagement surveys may provide and, before a toxic culture emerges, focus on its underlying causes.
Great leadership -&nbsp;Toxic cultures often stem from miscommunication and bad leadership. It's essential to develop your managing teams' leadership abilities. This comes in many different forms, so knowing what makes a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/want-to-become-a-fantastic-leader" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bad leader</a> is key.
Develop trust - Operating transparently, doing what you say you are going to do and doing the right thing builds trust.&nbsp; A lack of trust in an organisation can quickly slow it down and impact on performance.
Employees first -&nbsp;Always put your employees at the heart of your business. You wouldn't have a brand, clients or services to offer without them. Your culture will stay healthy and thriving if you put your people at the centre of every business choice you make.
&nbsp;
We&rsquo;re committed to creating healthier workplaces - delivering employee engagement surveys through innovative technology and great service.

Preventing Toxic Culture

Who are the people that influence you the most in the workplace? Who are the teams or the roles that you understand the most about?&nbsp;
They are likely to be those that you spend the most time with. Whether that&rsquo;s in person or via tech, it&rsquo;s likely that you feel most connected to the people you interact with the most.&nbsp;
This is the crux of the challenge with remote and hybrid working.&nbsp;
We can often fool ourselves that we understand what is happening in teams across the whole organisation, but we&rsquo;ve only actually listened fully to those closest to us.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Franklin Covey has a model called &ldquo;The Circles of Control, Influence and Concern&rdquo; - we can apply this to the workplace in a different way to help us demonstrate this point.&nbsp;
It shows us that those who are physically and metaphorically further away from us have the least influence on us. We may still be concerned about them, but it&rsquo;s likely that we understand the least about their day-to-day experiences.&nbsp;
If we don&rsquo;t understand their experiences, how can we know how engaged they are in the workplace?
&nbsp;
Here&rsquo;s the model in action:<img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/fQSKnx5BNvFgmwc3caBnvgW3NEZrcbsKmOcauCW0NEWOYPgrxpsv0iFK2KB3_ZdE8KDkIAuzAy9gClfylqRe45YiBlCITtdVkxLgftawnKqPYyJlhiazuBmw4PfqU7tQuLMmauqiJPrLNwb9_8ns5rZx6t_6EnXGCLWMeZ5nzB0_OXvgflCkILU7tRHacQ" width="497" height="495">
&nbsp;
This presents a challenge when it comes to employee engagement and the experiences of remote and hybrid workers. How do we ensure that we understand their engagement and experience, so that we can enhance it?&nbsp;
How do we make them feel close to the organisation and engaged in our journey, without physical closeness?&nbsp;
The reality is that&nbsp;<a href="https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/engaging-frontline-staff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">1/3 of frontline workers</a>&nbsp;feel disconnected from their colleagues in HQ and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/engaging-frontline-staff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">4 in 10 employees</a> feel their management is out of touch.&nbsp;
These ways of working may cause physical barriers to engagement. We need to work extra hard with these teams to overcome the barriers.
&nbsp;
<h3>Unifying Your Teams</h3>
This is where technology and anonymous employee feedback surveys can play a role. Using a survey that is accessible to all can provide a key part of a layered feedback strategy. It creates a clear employee voice for remote and hybrid teams.&nbsp;
When developing your survey, tell your team that you value their input and that you are asking about the things that would be most helpful to them.&nbsp;
Running regular surveys, with targeted questions, means that you will have a consistent flow of insight and feedback from those that you are least likely to see. All employees can share their voice in the organisation no matter how or where they work.&nbsp;
For bonus points, you can really target the remote and hybrid employee experience.&nbsp;
Focus on what it means to work in this way in your organisation. A recent study proved a&nbsp;<a href="https://hbr.org/2022/03/research-how-employee-experience-impacts-your-bottom-line?registration=success" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">150% ROI</a> on additional investment in employee experience - so the numbers stack up.
We use email, SMS &amp; WhatsApp in our surveys. This makes them accessible to remote &amp; hybrid working teams, not just those on email - who are most likely to be in your circle of influence.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
We'd love to talk with you about how we might help if some of this applies to your current remote or hybrid model of operation or if you are switching to a new method of working.

The Circles of Control, Influence & Concern

Remote & Hybrid Working - Bridging the gap

I'm Aimee, an apprentice in digital marketing and a part of Gen Z. I&rsquo;ve written this article to assist leaders in understanding the most effective approaches to engage Gen Z workers. In order to generate six ideas and methods on how to engage your Gen Z employees, I combined extensive research with my personal experience.
Generation Z, sometimes known as "Gen Z" (those born between 1997 and 2012), are starting to alter how businesses operate. We are the first generation to have grown up with the internet and social media. It can be difficult to engage workers, especially those in Generation Z. Companies need to understand how Gen Z differs from other employees. This will make it easier to recruit the newest talent and your future leaders.
Here are some strategies for engaging your Gen Z staff:
&nbsp;
<h3>Leverage Great Technology</h3>
As digital natives, Generation Z, thrive on social media and electronic communication. Utilise modern technologies to aid in communication, teamwork, and building relationships.&nbsp;
The following are some examples of employee engagement tools that will benefit Gen Z workers:
<ul>
<li>Tools for teamwork: Slack and Miro</li>
<li>Digital learning: Work at your own pace and customise learning with Google Digital Garage</li>
<li>Online meeting tools: Zoom, Teams, and Google Meet&nbsp;</li>
<li>Technology for&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/how-it-works" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">employee feedback</a></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>Support Development</h3>
Gen Z workers are motivated and aspirational. We value chances for professional development.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pearson.com/content/dam/one-dot-com/one-dot-com/global/Files/news/news-annoucements/2018/The-Next-Generation-of-Learners_final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Two-thirds</a> of Gen Zers said that their goal in life was to make it to the top of their profession.&nbsp;
Keep us engaged by demonstrating your dedication to our development and progress. Create chances for us to develop.&nbsp;
Here are a few options for how to go about it:
<ul>
<li>Provide visible &amp; accessible career path options within the company</li>
<li>Offer leadership training</li>
<li>Prepare employees for greater responsibilities</li>
</ul>
It's crucial that you let us know you have faith in our ability to expand the business. There are instances when our leaders don't respect Generation Z. Because of this, we can lose respect for the company, which might lead to retention problems.
I worked for a well-known fast food restaurant when I was 18 years old. They would assign me numerous daily duties that had a significant influence on the store. But none of my ideas were taken seriously. Ideas that would improve customer happiness while also enhancing workflow and engagement. I "didn't know what I was talking about," they claimed. They stopped by maybe once every four months throughout the two years I spent working there. I knew what I was talking about. One of the reasons I and so many others my age left was because of their persistent downplaying of my ideas.
&nbsp;
<h3>Encourage Transparency</h3>
Technology allows Generation Z to learn anything they want to know about your business. Even during the interview process. A culture that promotes transparency will increase their engagement as employees.&nbsp;
There are a few techniques to improve transparency in your organisation:
<ul>
<li>Encourage leaders to communicate openly and honestly</li>
<li>Set definite objectives and expectations.</li>
<li>Give staff opportunities to get to know one another&nbsp;</li>
<li>Share your culture on social media frequently and openly</li>
</ul>
When applying to jobs, I always check the reviews from people that work / have worked there. It&rsquo;s the best way to get an insight into what it&rsquo;s like to work there before you&rsquo;re already in.&nbsp;
I had used Glassdoor to look at one of the company&rsquo;s I was thinking of applying to. The ratings weren't very good. There seemed to be a toxic culture at the organisation.&nbsp;
I decided to apply anyway, thinking that I would utilise this to hone my interview techniques. They did make me an offer, but I declined it. I wasn't planning on working in a toxic environment.&nbsp;
By being transparent with their employees, this company would have solved their culture problem and I might have made a different decision.
&nbsp;
<h3>Celebrate Diversity &amp; Inclusion</h3>
It&rsquo;s important to celebrate the diversity in the workforce. Gen Z is the most ethnically diverse generation yet. We have high expectations in this area, so make sure you are demonstrating to us that you care about D&amp;I if you want to keep new talent interested.&nbsp;
Do this by:
<ul>
<li>Showcasing the company&rsquo;s approach on social media</li>
<li>Allow employees to share their interests, special skills, etc.</li>
<li>Create a safe and inclusive workspace, where diversity is celebrated</li>
</ul>
When looking for jobs / opportunities, one important factor I consider is the company's D&amp;I policy. Like many members of Generation Z, I don't want to work with people who have the exact same beliefs as myself.&nbsp;
It's important to surround yourself with people who, in their perspectives and experiences, differ from you in order to expand your own knowledge. This is the best way to succeed.&nbsp;
A business that values diversity and inclusion is urging its staff to push one another and grow. This can create an extremely engaging environment.
&nbsp;
<h3>Company Mission</h3>
Employee engagement is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/williamcraig/2018/05/15/the-importance-of-having-a-mission-driven-company/?sh=cd30a603a9c1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">higher</a> when they feel their work is in line with the company's objective. Gen Z is not an exception. Gen Z is more likely to be engaged if the organisation shares their interests and passions.&nbsp;
Highlight the mission of your organisation in:
<ul>
<li>Departmental and corporate meetings</li>
<li>Small-group discussions</li>
<li>The company newsletter</li>
</ul>
Don't forget to check that your team is moving in the same direction on a frequently. That laser-like focus on the future gives Gen Z a compelling "why" and enables them to match their personal beliefs with those of the organisation.
While one organisation I worked for liked to boast about its goal, it was never truly used there. They used it to appear more progressive than they actually were, almost like a broken promise.&nbsp;
In addition to being a toxic workplace, the company's values appeared to be shifting continuously. This made it very challenging for me to be motivated at work and ultimately led me to decide to quit.
&nbsp;
<h3>Regular Feedback</h3>
Gen Z expects feedback frequently. This could be an effect of the immediacy that digital platforms provide.&nbsp;<a href="https://genhq.com/generation-z-research-2018/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">66%</a> of Gen Z employees said they needed feedback from their supervisor every few weeks or more to stay at their job.
They like regular feedback because it enables them to stay on task at work. Consider:
<ul>
<li>Regular performance reviews</li>
<li>Scheduled 1:1s</li>
<li>Opportunities to interact with senior leaders</li>
<li>Ongoing coaching from managers</li>
</ul>
We also expect to be able to provide feedback. So creating an opportunity for us to have a clear voice in the organisation is key to continued engagement.
In earlier positions, I've provided and gotten employee feedback. Observing how different generations responded was quite fascinating. Gen Zers would ask for feedback more often.
I thought it would be beneficial for my growth to find out how I could improve. Regular two way feedback is a key part of our ways of working at Ten Space and I really thrive from this approach.
&nbsp;
Gen Z are just beginning their careers. As they begin to take up larger portions of your company, it will become more and more important to keep them engaged.&nbsp;
An employee engagement survey is a smart way to evaluate the success of your initiatives. To ensure a higher employee engagement rate, you can better connect your strategies with the employees using the results you obtain.
Use our employee feedback survey to learn more about engagement. We can assist you with identifying your Gen Z audience (and others), understanding their specific engagement needs, and determining where you may need to adopt a new strategy to gain the most engagement and performance boost from your efforts.

Engaging Gen Z - 6 Tips

The word "brand" can mean many distinct things. In the retail industry, a brand frequently links a product to its maker, giving it a feeling of identity and frequently adding value. It can contain observable components like a logo, colours, typefaces, materials, and slogans, all of which help the brand stand out and become easily recognisable.
&nbsp;
Consistent &amp; Recognisable
The most successful brands are consistent and recognisable. A wide range of consumer goods can still be easily recognised by their brands even without their logos and text, thanks to other characteristics like colour and design.
A fantastic brand inspires a tonne of client loyalty. Any successful brand wants to create such a strong psychological bond with its audience that they won't even consider using a competitor's product. For example, a lot of consumers wouldn't look at any alternatives to Apple in terms of tech hardware.
Apple products become ingrained in many people&rsquo;s daily life, making it hard to switch to another brand. Apple is loved for a variety of reasons, including usability, design, marketing, and of course the founder vision established by the late Steve Jobs.
Brands encourage consumer loyalty. With such loyalty, your clients stay with you and continue to make purchases. How does this brand loyalty affect your workers, though?
&nbsp;
<h3>Employer Branding</h3>
HR teams must develop a compelling "employer brand" that they can use across the whole employee lifecycle. This is the same way that marketers establish a compelling "customer brand" to drive consumer loyalty.
Every company has a unique employment brand. It is a strategy used by companies to stand out from the competition in the labour market to attract, keep, and engage employees. It aids companies in gaining a competitive edge in the hiring of excellent personnel and building higher credibility.
Employer brand is described as "...a set of attributes and qualities, often intangible, that makes an organisation distinctive, promises a particular kind of employment experience, and appeals to those people who will thrive and perform best in its culture" in the CIPD 2008 guide "Employer Branding - A no nonsense approach."
A strong employer brand should be connected to a company's values, policies, people strategy, and external brand in the larger context of the organisation. If not, there may be a significant disconnect between the people the company selects and their capacity to fulfil the brand promise provided by the marketing team.
&nbsp;
<h3>Why is this important?</h3>
An organisation can gain from building a high-value "employer brand" in many ways.
A strong "consumer brand" helps marketers acquire, engage, and keep customers while fostering intense loyalty. The customer lifecycle is what is meant by this. For HR professionals, using the same strategy fosters extraordinary employee loyalty throughout the "employee lifecycle."
An employee's relationship with their company is referred to as their "employee lifetime." It can begin long before they ever start working for the company, but it has to do with how they are approached, brought on board, managed, rewarded, informed of developments, and ultimately let go.
An engaged workforce that feels appreciated and respected by their company will be created as a result of positive experiences in these areas. The benefit is that people typically desire to work harder to incorporate the mission, vision, and values of the organisation in their working behaviours.&nbsp;
Even if a highly engaged employee decides to leave the company, chances are they'll continue to generate value by serving as a "promoter" of that company and sharing their excellent employee experience with everyone they know!&nbsp;
On the other hand, a bad experience in any one of these areas could have the opposite effect.
&nbsp;
<h3>Creating a great Employer Brand</h3>
This has a documented process that is very similar to the marketing technique centred on client branding. This entails:
<ol>
<li>Discovery -&nbsp;Learn more about your staff, your management, and your current situation</li>
<li>Creation -&nbsp;Analyse the data obtained during the discovery phase and use it to produce an&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/fChhH7hlhHg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">employee value proposition</a></li>
<li>Application -&nbsp;Sharing the employee value proposition and ingraining it into the culture</li>
<li>Maintenance -&nbsp;Careful evaluation and optimisation to make sure the business truly embodies the employer brand.</li>
</ol>
This effort is ongoing and is a strategic one; it is not a one-time event. It is crucial that developing an employer brand be viewed as a process of continuous improvement since, just like a consumer brand, an employer brand can lose value over night.
&nbsp;
<h3>Start the discovery today</h3>
You run the danger of making the incorrect choices or perhaps undoing some of the good you've managed to accomplish without a solid discovery (or good research).&nbsp;
It helps to make a remarkable discovery by using great methods and technology. Conducting focus groups with your staff, holding workshops with top management, and performing employee engagement surveys are excellent places to start.&nbsp;
You're taking the initial steps in the right approach if you have a fantastic means to gather this data, monitor improvement, and, most importantly, understand "what good looks like."
Don't get too hooked up on the results; they are frequently vanity metrics. Instead, focus your efforts on the detailed feedback that you receive from your staff. That's where the brilliant concepts appear that enable you to create a brand that your staff members genuinely believe in.

Brands encourage consumer loyalty. How does this brand loyalty affect your workers?

Elevating your Employer Brand

Employee Value Proposition (EVP) - what does your organisation stand for &amp; why is it unique?
We hosted a webinar on EVP in November. Check out the&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/fChhH7hlhHg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recording here</a>. Plus if you want some help in getting started with your EVP, you can find our Action Plan Builder at the bottom of this blog.
A strong EVP will help retain top performers and attract the best external talent.&nbsp;
Your organisation is distinctive because of its values, culture, and benefits. Your EVP is what sets you apart from the competition, even if you make the same goods or offer the same services.
Your EVP should have a combination of rewards and benefits that employees are given in return for performing well at work.
A compelling EVP includes:
<ul>
<li>Compensation</li>
<li>Work-life balance</li>
<li>Stability</li>
<li>Respect</li>
<li>Location</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>Importance of a Great EVP</h3>
These initiatives can boost productivity, raise earnings, give workers a better working environment, and lower staff turnover.
By delivering on your EVP you can decrease employee turnover by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/human-resources/insights/employee-engagement-performance/employee-value-proposition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">nearly 70%</a>.&nbsp;
Here are some strong examples of Employee Value Propositions:
&nbsp;
<h4>1.HubSpot</h4>
&lsquo;Your best work starts here&rsquo;, according to HubSpot's EVP. Their benefits page supports that claim. The main goal of HubSpot's EVP is to &ldquo;help you be the best 'you' that you can be" by striking a balance between work and personal obligations.
It&rsquo;s open about its priorities and offers a document of more than 100 pages called the "HubSpot Culture Code" that describes in detail how this culture is put into practise.
&nbsp;
<h4>2.Nike</h4>
"Win as a team" is one of Nike's EVP headlines. Nike's culture places a strong emphasis on achieving athletic innovation with a team mindset.
Its "team mindset" is consistent in how it handles benefits and compensation.
&nbsp;
<h4>3.Gartner</h4>
The five pillars of Gartner's EVP are:&nbsp;challenging work; talented people; limitless growth; community impact; and big rewards. The company's EVP encourages employees to "live well - in all parts of your life."
&nbsp;
<h3>Review your current EVP</h3>
Examining what you currently have in place is an excellent way to start when reviewing your EVP. Try to look at some of these things with objectivity and think about how your present or future employees could perceive them:
<ul>
<li>Employee engagement, employee voice and culture</li>
<li>Benefits and package</li>
<li>Vision, mission, values and goals&nbsp;</li>
<li>Career development and investment in personal development&nbsp;</li>
<li>Social media and online presence&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
You may already be developing an action plan to strengthen your EVP. If you want to dig a little deeper with your evaluation, take into account the following:
&nbsp;
<h4>1. Using the right tools</h4>
Learn what makes working for your company special, and why current employees choose to stay. You can use existing perceptions to improve your EVP once you've identified them.
Conduct an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/employee-engagement---starting-your-survey-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anonymous employee engagement</a> survey to learn what matters to your team, what motivates them, and why they stick with your company.&nbsp;The information you collate should reach all aspects of your organisation.
Consider more factors than just benefits and compensation when conducting this research. Determine the rewards and intangible experiences that employees cherish.&nbsp;
To make sure you're asking your employees the correct questions and gaining a clear picture of how they see your organisation, we use our four engagement pillars:
These pillars are:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wellbeing</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fulfilment</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leadership</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Connection</a></li>
</ul>
At Ten Space, we&rsquo;ll also help you to use your employee feedback to create social media content, to take your culture online.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Book a demo here</a> to begin your path to a maximised EVP.
Our employee feedback surveys frequently address the important topic of recognition, with many employees reporting a mismatch between their expectations and their actual experiences. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/11-employee-feedback-statistics#:~:text=Did%20you%20know%20that%20receiving,efforts%20were%20being%20better%20recognized." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">69% of workers</a>, employees would work harder if their efforts were valued more, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/space-hr-feedback-500-mar22---topic-recognition--employee-engagement" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our own research</a> supports this claim.
Recognition, which is free, reflects and reinforces your company culture. It increases engagement and performance while giving your employees a sense of value.
According to "The State of Employee Appreciation," businesses who give individual or team recognition saw a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zippia.com/advice/employee-recognition-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">14% increase</a> in performance.
For 3 key points to getting recognition right in your team,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/3-keys-points-to-getting-recognition-right-in-your-team" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">check out our blog</a>.
&nbsp;
<h4>2. Communicate the message</h4>
When you&rsquo;ve completed your research, collate the data. Your employees' top core values and distinguishing characteristics will be easy for you to identify.&nbsp;
Think of these as the superpowers of your company!
These superpowers will enable us to create a statement that summarises your EVP.
Your writing should be clear and concise. It should be clear what matters most to your staff members, why they stay, and what your company does that is exceptional in your industry.
Find innovative and pertinent ways to explain your EVP to the audience you are attempting to attract after it has been defined.
Here are a few ideas:
<ul>
<li>Hiring Channels&nbsp;- Employer websites, advertisements, and the interview process. Prospective employees can assess whether they would be a good fit for your company.</li>
<li>Branding, PR &amp; Marketing -&nbsp;These strategies will aid in creating a favourable impression of your organisation among the passive labour market.</li>
<li>Bringing it to life -&nbsp;If you claim to support work-life balance or ongoing development&nbsp; but do not offer training, career advancement, study leave, or flexible working hours, your workplace's reality falls short of your promise.</li>
</ul>

<h4>3. Refining</h4>
Measure the effectiveness of your EVP frequently, and keep it evolving to meet the needs of your people and the market now and in the future.
You should:
<ul>
<li>Keep an eye on candidate applications and employee retention rates because they can provide excellent cues as to when you should make changes or take action.</li>
<li>Make sure current employees are consulted at all stages of their employment with you, not only after the first 12 months. Continue to pay attention to them.</li>
<li>Conduct frequent employee engagement surveys to stay current on what matters to your teams and where you are succeeding and failing.</li>
</ul>
Every year, review your EVP. If necessary, change your employment proposition to make sure it is relevant and embodied in your employee&rsquo;s day-to-day experience. When necessary, restructure your EVP to more accurately reflect employee expectations.
Success comes from your team's alignment with the organisation's EVP. A highly engaged team is still only one step away.

We've collated important employee engagement dates for the first few months of 2023

Employee Engagement Calendar - FREE DOWNLOAD (Jan-Mar '23)

Organisations with high engagement outperform organisations with low engagement by <a href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/229424/employee-engagement.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">202%</a>. Employee Engagement needs to be one of your top priorities to ensure your business can succeed.
Here we take a look at some of the key things you need to consider before you send out your first survey.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Specialist Engagement Platforms</h3>
One of the first topics that comes up when an organisation decides to do an employee engagement survey is utilising a third party company. So what are the advantages of using a specialist to carry out your surveys?&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>The best questions are those written with the aid of a third-party viewpoint. An expert, outside perspective will be most helpful to leadership and HR teams. These questions can&rsquo;t be written in a way that would influence the replies and make the most of the insight you capture.&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="https://www.thehrdirector.com/features/employee-engagement/improve-quality-quantity-employee-feedback-make-anonymous/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">74% of employees</a>&nbsp;said they&rsquo;d be willing to give more feedback if they were truly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/sorry-boss-theres-something-you-should-know-please-dont-fire-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anonymous</a>. For anonymity and trust, using a third-party employee survey platform is crucial. It makes the survey-taking experience for employees as psychologically safe as possible. It might be challenging for teams to trust their responses are anonymous when surveys are conducted internally.</li>
<li>A specialised platform can greatly speed up data processing and the time it takes to move from survey&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/making-the-most-of-your-engagement-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">launch to action</a>. When it comes to analysing and disseminating survey results, choosing a platform to do the data-crunching for you can be a smart investment.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<h3>Survey Design</h3>
A lengthy survey may affect response rates and prevent your team from completing the survey. Many team members may attempt to rush through their responses or avoid taking it altogether when the number of questions increases to a significant quantity.
The surveys should be kept brief and contain only the questions that would elicit the best responses from the staff.
To provide you with data points and written responses, we advise using a variety of scaled questions (0&ndash;10) with a few written feedback questions also. This will allow your team to finish the survey in a reasonable amount of time and give them the opportunity to provide comments that are more in-depth.
💡 Aim to keep the number of questions on your employee survey around 12-20. Better data quality and response rates will result from doing this as people won&rsquo;t lose interest.
Your team shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes to complete your survey. Ideally, make it a regular event that lasts no longer than five minutes.
&nbsp;
<h3>Results &amp; Action</h3>
The response you give to a survey is what matters most, not the survey itself. You can instantly increase participation and give the process significance by quickly sharing your results with your team and committing to the steps you will take.
Sharing employee engagement results in corporate and team messaging is crucial since it allows you to:
BE OPEN&nbsp;- Don't attempt to frame outcomes as better or worse than they actually are. Openly discuss them. The way you discuss survey results sets the tone for how honestly you will accept future employee feedback and suggestions for change. Transparency fosters trust.
BE CLEAR &ndash; Results from employee surveys might be challenging to interpret. When communicating the findings to staff, be as concise and clear as you can. Keep your commentary and language simple so as to avoid confusion.
DON'T PLAY DETECTIVE - The answers ought to be anonymous. Never engage in conjecture about who said what while discussing the results of an employee survey. An anonymous survey process loses credibility and integrity as a result of this and can be damaging to overall engagement in the long run.
Want to know more about the steps after the survey has ended? Check our blog on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/making-the-most-of-your-engagement-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&lsquo;Making the most of your engagement data&rsquo;</a>
&nbsp;
A successful business depends on knowing how to encourage team engagement and satisfaction at work. Utilise employee engagement surveys to collect truthful, trustworthy input. It&rsquo;s possible to take action and build a fantastic workplace with this feedback and data.
We can help you by providing anonymous employee feedback so you can monitor the engagement and wellbeing of your workforce. Talk to us by visiting&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.tenspace.co.uk/contact</a>

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 works

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is Employee Engagement?</h3>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. Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself in employees reaching their full potential and delivering exceptional performance at work.</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.


Build your employee engagement strategy

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">High engagement means higher performance</h3>Employee engagement is a critical activity for professional services firms. Retaining your high performing people will help you build a high performing legal practice. 

But if you don’t have a way to measure engagement and understand when engagement is dropping, you run the risk of losing your top performers and a potential domino effect of top talent.</div>

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is the Employee Engagement model?</h3>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.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.</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. 

See responses as they're being submitted. Our dashboards display real-time information for you and your managers to access valuable insights at any time. This allows you to spend less time collating data and more time taking the actions that matter to build higher engagement.
