If you have a healthy relationship with the people in your team, a resignation shouldn&rsquo;t come as a surprise; here&rsquo;s why.
There are 3 reasons why a member of your team would resign;&nbsp;&nbsp;
- Career development,
- Personal circumstances
- Personal engagement in the business or team.
As a leader, you have an opportunity to see a problem emerging in every one of these circumstances. As such you should see a resignation coming. To understand more about how you can identify these problems, let&rsquo;s dig in a bit deeper.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Career development</h3>
A key part of a leader's role is to actively manage the careers of their employees (for those who want it). As such, a well managed employee would stay in an organisation if presented with the right opportunities.&nbsp;
Leaders can have a huge impact on the progression of an individual in their team and beyond. This could be through creating opportunities for them to progress. But it might also be knowing when the opportunities have run out.
If you&rsquo;re working with your employees to understand what they want in their careers; you&rsquo;ll know if you&rsquo;re able to meet those needs. You&rsquo;ll know if their compensation is enough for them; if the next role they want to move into is achievable and if there are enough opportunities to keep them feeling challenged and valued.
So when they get contacted via LinkedIn about a &lsquo;great opportunity&rsquo;, you&rsquo;ll have a good sense of whether they are going to take the call or not. And whether that call might lead to a resignation.
There might even be times when you are expecting that resignation. You might even have been the catalyst. Maybe you&rsquo;ve been transparent and said that you don&rsquo;t think that new opportunities exist for them in the organisation in the future. Your work as a leader is done, they&rsquo;re ready to fly the nest!
&nbsp;
<h3>Personal circumstances</h3>
Good leaders should have an understanding of their employee&rsquo;s circumstances outside of work. This includes their health, their family and their personal motivations for coming to work. It&rsquo;s all part of taking care of the wellbeing of employees.
Having a good understanding of a person&rsquo;s personal circumstances will help you understand if a resignation might be on the horizon. This is not about being intrusive into employee&rsquo;s lives. It&rsquo;s about understanding the whole person. So when Dave&rsquo;s wife gets the big promotion in Scotland and they need to relocate, it isn't a complete surprise.
These types of resignations can still blindside you. People&rsquo;s circumstances can change in a moment (hello lottery win!). But they can also be the most preventable. It&rsquo;s possible to support employees through ill health, through caring responsibilities and even relocations, depending on the role.
&nbsp;
<h3>Personal engagement in the business or team</h3>
The final reason why someone might leave an organisation is a big one. They just don&rsquo;t enjoy it anymore.&nbsp;
Maybe the organisation has moved on and they didn&rsquo;t move with it, maybe they&rsquo;ve changed and the organisation hasn&rsquo;t. Maybe they&rsquo;ve fallen out of love with the vision and don&rsquo;t see their part in it anymore. Maybe their job is just not challenging them any more.
You should be able to get a feeling for an individual's personal engagement through open and honest communication. Having a strong relationship with your team will help you to understand where there might be cultural gaps opening up.
You can use tools such as employee feedback surveys to gain more insight. These can give you a sense of common challenges across a team and will help give you a starting point of where individual engagement might be waning.
If an unhappy employee has opened up to you about their personal engagement levels, it's an opportunity to have a conversation about whether it&rsquo;s something that you can fix. If it isn&rsquo;t, you can be honest and they can make an informed decision about their future. Again, when a resignation comes, it shouldn&rsquo;t be a surprise.
Let&rsquo;s be realistic, there is always going to be the occasional time you get caught out. Something you didn&rsquo;t see coming. But maybe think about your team now, which of the above reasons is the most likely reason you&rsquo;d end up with a resignation on your desk? Can you do something about it? If you can, go do it before it&rsquo;s too late!
&nbsp;
At Ten Space we can help you understand engagement levels in your team and capture individual feedback that helps you strengthen your team, reduce attrition and prevent surprises!<a href="http://www.spacehr.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;</a><a href="http://www.spacehr.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.tenspace.co.uk</a>

A resignation shouldn’t come as a surprise; here’s why.

Why ‘zero resignations' should come as a surprise

Don't you love it when someone more popular makes your point for you? Well, thank you Simon Sinek for doing just that last week.
For those that missed it, his words on LinkedIn were short and to the point - "Customers will love a company when the employees love it first" (link<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/simonsinek_customers-will-love-a-company-when-the-employees-activity-6867473786439000064-mObb" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;HERE</a>).
The post attracted 90k likes and 1600 comments (probably a few more than I would get). As you'd expect with any social media post there were some lovers and some haters. Some elaborated on his point with another 100+ words and utterly destroyed it. Some just tried to start an argument with someone else.
Regardless, the point resonated with me. Your employees SHOULD be the greatest ambassadors of your business. If they love your company and their job, they will project that positivity to your customers. Nothing will be too much trouble and everything will be done with a smile. In short, your customers will get a great experience.
&nbsp;
<h3>Or:&nbsp; great eNPS = great NPS</h3>
Great customer experience matters in every business, but in some businesses the interactions with people matter more than others.
One person commented in the feed that "I have never met a happy Amazon employee". This could be true of their experience, but I don't think all Amazon employees are unhappy. Amazon is not relying on employees alone to deliver exceptional customer service.
They've built thousands of touchpoints into their shopping experience that don't involve human interaction. Even if my delivery driver is miserable as sin, it's likely I won't care because I found my product, ordered it and had it delivered in 24 hours (#lastminutechristmasshopping).
McDonalds is another great example. Consistency in the 7 P's of service marketing - price, product, place, promotion, physical evidence, process and people - makes it difficult to have a bad experience. The first 6 of these have been taken out of the hands of the person working in the restaurant.
The last one - people- is the only one that can go wrong. If the person is amazing it's fairly forgettable. If they're bad it's also fairly forgettable. In short, the front of house person is such a nominal part of the entire experience, the customer can forgive McDonalds quickly because everything else was as expected.
But businesses like Amazon and McDonalds are the exception to the rule. Most businesses rely a lot on the experience that the customer has with an employee. Any business that sells a person's time (solicitor, accountant, recruiter etc.) is pretty much 100% highly reliant on their employee. Their people must portray the values of the company every day to deliver a great, consistent service.
Hybrid companies such as software businesses are the same. They may have a great product, but if the customer success and support functions disappear, then customers get very upset, very quickly.
&nbsp;
<h4>Here's our top tips to make sure your employees help your customers feel the love....</h4>
1. Listen -&nbsp;have a way to tap into how your employees feel about the service they are delivering. Understand what they love about your products and services, and what makes their jobs harder.&nbsp; Identify what support they need.&nbsp;
2. Empathise - make it clear you&rsquo;ve heard their feedback and you can understand their point of view. Build trust into your feedback process and give your teams a say in how things get done.&nbsp;
3. Feedback - let them know what you are going to do next. What action do you intend to take, by when and how.&nbsp;
4. Action - JFDI.&nbsp;
5. Repeat -&nbsp;create this feedback loop regularly. By doing this, you&rsquo;ll build engagement &amp; trust in your organisation. As well as quickly being able to identify blockers and bottlenecks.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
To conclude, customer-facing teams in ALL businesses help you retain and attract customers.
Listening to the people that own the relationships with the customer puts you in a great position to keep doing better.
In some businesses your people could be 100% of why they choose to be your customer. In others it might be less than 1%. Regardless, an extra 1% could equate to a big difference in profitability. A bad experience could destroy your reputation and cause your customers to leave in droves.
&nbsp;
At Ten Space, we help organisations capture employee feedback to improve their business performance.&nbsp;
We&rsquo;ve created specific surveys for customer services teams, designed to do a deep-dive into what is driving, or holding back success for these critical teams. If you&rsquo;d like to see how we can help super-charge your customer teams - get in touch.

How high employee engagement leads to high customer engagement.

"Customers will love a company when the employees love it first"

There&rsquo;s a lot of noise on social media about whether businesses should advertise salaries on job adverts.
There&rsquo;s a growing fatigue amongst job seekers, weariness of spending time applying for roles, sharing details about themselves and not getting much in return.
Evidence suggests that businesses who put salaries, or salary ranges, on an advert will receive high volumes and better quality applications.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/business/talent/blog/talent-acquisition/job-description-heatmap" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">61% of job seekers</a> state that salary was the most important part of the job description for them.&nbsp;
Often the reason provided by organisations for not adding salaries to adverts is &lsquo;we want to see who is in the market and we don&rsquo;t want to put off more experienced candidates&rsquo;. However, it is often more likely that organisations just aren&rsquo;t in good enough shape to be completely transparent with salaries externally.&nbsp;
If you want to start advertising salaries openly, proceed with caution. If you have inequalities in your pay, advertising externally is likely to shine a light on them. Inequalities of pay get to the heart of what employees consider to be &ldquo;fair&rdquo; in an organisation. Even the best written organisational values can start to unravel if employee&rsquo;s don&rsquo;t believe their basic needs, such as fair remuneration are being met.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Draw on data&nbsp;</h3>
Collate a list of salaries and look at how you are paying people across the group. This exercise is about identifying trends in the data to reveal biases or inequality.
With the data, ask yourself;
<ul>
<li>Are you clear on what a fair salary is for each role internally?</li>
<li>Are you clear on what a fair salary is for each role externally?</li>
<li>Is anyone overpaid? How did that happen?&nbsp;</li>
<li>Who is underpaid? How did that happen?&nbsp;</li>
<li>If you need additional budget to address inequalities, where can that come from?</li>
<li>Are you at risk of any claims? How can you mitigate this?</li>
<li>Are you at risk of losing great talent,&nbsp;</li>
<li>Are you at risk of failing to recruit the talent you need?</li>
<li>Can you afford to do this?</li>
<li>Can you afford NOT to do this?</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>Implement a grading / salary framework</h3>
Many larger organisations have a job grading / salary framework. Some just provide general guidance. Others provide very precise guidance of what salary is attached to each role.
The advantage of a framework, or some structure like this is that once you have placed everyone in the framework, you can use this to ensure that there is no future drift.&nbsp;
It is possible to introduce a framework like this without a formal job grading methodology behind it. Although it&rsquo;s likely that this kind of methodology will become more appropriate in a larger organisation where it can help to strip a role back to its component parts to be able to compare it.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Supporting your leaders and managers to have conversations about reward&nbsp;</h3>
If you&rsquo;re going to advertise salaries externally, it is likely that leaders and managers will get asked questions. For their own credibility, they need to be able to tackle these conversations confidently.
Talking about salary, reward and careers is a skill. It may be that you need to invest in upskilling your people managers in this area to support their conversations. Inexperienced line managers can get themselves into all kinds of hot water by being underprepared for these conversations!&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Is it worth it?&nbsp;</h3>
Advertising a salary is likely to have an instant impact on the volume and quality of applications you receive for vacancies you advertise. If advertised on social media your adverts, without salaries attached, can attract a lot of negative attention too.
But doing the groundwork to be confident to advertise salaries externally, it will also have an impact on your existing team. It&rsquo;s been reported that when there is a pay gap perceived amongst employees (whether there actually is a gap or not) it results in a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inc.com/marcel-schwantes/new-report-pay-transparency-may-be-key-to-keeping-your-employees-in-2021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">16% decrease</a> in their intent to stay in an organisation. This makes for a pretty compelling argument for pay transparency in your organisation.&nbsp;
Taking this action will shift your culture and engagement. But if you get it right, it&rsquo;ll be hugely positive for any organisation and likely contribute to finding and retaining the best talent.

The groundwork to advertising salaries on job adverts

If you haven't seen any business news in the last week,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/28/22745234/facebook-new-name-meta-metaverse-zuckerberg-rebrand" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook changed its name to Meta.</a>
For clarity, we&rsquo;re talking about Facebook the group here, not the app. Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp too - it&rsquo;s the holding company that changed its name.
But whilst it might seem like a conveniently timed rebrand to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/oct/26/facebook-scandal-mark-zuckerberg-frances-haugen" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">shake off bad press</a>, it&rsquo;s actually much more. It&rsquo;s a huge statement of intent about the direction of travel for Facebook and the future of the internet.
For HR professionals this could have some significant implications. It could also indicate some of the challenges we're likely to face.
Meta is a shortening of &ldquo;metaverse&rdquo; - it&rsquo;s where many people believe the internet is heading next. An immersive virtual reality, all-encompassing environment. Mark Zuckerberg is ploughing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2021/oct/28/facebook-mark-zuckerberg-meta-metaverse" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">huge amounts of cash</a> into R&amp;D of this VR landscape. When it comes to fruition, it&rsquo;ll likely change the way we live and work.
<a href="https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/22749919/mark-zuckerberg-facebook-meta-company-rebrand" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">In a recent interview&nbsp;</a>Zuckerberg stated: &ldquo;People think of us as a social media company. But the way we think about ourselves is that we&rsquo;re a technology company that builds technology to help people connect with each other.&rdquo;
So here&rsquo;s why as HR professionals we should be sitting up and paying attention...
&nbsp;
<h3>Virtual Working</h3>
This technology will change the way we work. The debate of how to make hybrid and remote working will fade into the background.&nbsp; At onboarding, we&rsquo;ll be asking employees to link their VR headsets to our company. Daily stand-ups could be with virtual colleagues in a virtual office. Face-to-face meetings could be as a hologram in the boardroom rather than attend in person.
&nbsp;
<h3>Trust and Engagement</h3>
Huge trust and engagement issues could arise. How do you create a team environment with a group of avatars? What if the body language cues that we naturally use to form bonds aren&rsquo;t there? What if the person behind the avatar is nothing like the avatar itself, does that matter? It&rsquo;s common in the gaming world for avatars to not represent the gender of the player.&nbsp; But does this matter in a work environment? It&rsquo;s like a 'cameras-off' video x 10.
We know technology can be vulnerable to hacks. Could someone replicate or take over the avatar and identity of someone else and act on their behalf? The CEO maybe? How would we know that the person turning up in the virtual workplace was the same &ldquo;person&rdquo; every day? HR policies definitely don&rsquo;t cover such a scenario at the moment!
It&rsquo;s likely that in this virtual world, trust and engagement will be much harder to build and maintain.
&nbsp;
<h3>Mental Health</h3>
The isolation of home working will open a lot of wellbeing and mental health challenges. Loneliness will quickly become a huge concern in the virtual world, the workplace and in wider society. But it also brings to mind stories like this one, where a&nbsp;<a href="https://manchestermill.co.uk/p/she-fell-into-a-virtual-world" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">girl became addicted to her virtual world</a>&nbsp;and stopped living a full life in the real world. Are businesses, leaders and HR well equipped to support employees in this type of working environment?
&nbsp;
<h3>Digital Poverty &amp; Exclusion&nbsp;</h3>
Consider the current extent of<a href="https://techmonitor.ai/leadership/workforce/millions-vulnerable-people-uk-digital-poverty#:~:text=But%20more%20than%20one%20million,demands%20of%20the%20digital%20economy." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;</a><a href="https://techmonitor.ai/leadership/workforce/millions-vulnerable-people-uk-digital-poverty#:~:text=But%20more%20than%20one%20million,demands%20of%20the%20digital%20economy." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">digital poverty.</a>&nbsp;An estimated million households in the UK have no internet connection. Layer on expensive and hard to access additional tech, such as VR headsets, and that gap widens. It could present huge additional social mobility challenges and make knowledge work the domain of only those who can afford the cost of entry. It&rsquo;s likely that this will make lack of diversity in the workplace much more acute.
&nbsp;
<h3>Generation Divide</h3>
It also opens up a potential generational divide. Digital and tech natives, who will have grown up with this tech in their schooling and home lives, versus those playing catch up and still cursing the presence of Zoom in our every-day lives. It&rsquo;s likely to be age that is the defining factor here. What does that do for a cohesive, engaged workforce? How does it impact career paths in an organisation?
&nbsp;
<h3>Inclusion Opportunities</h3>
It may not all be grim when it comes to inclusion. It may be a great leveller for disability inclusion, particularly physical disabilities. A virtual workplace will remove a huge barrier for inclusion in a traditional workplace. The original concept of the Metaverse<a href="https://www.shmoop.com/study-guides/literature/snow-crash/ng" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;came from a book</a>, where the main character was significantly disabled. He lived his life in a virtual world where that didn&rsquo;t matter - this could become reality.
If avatars were all blue and gender-neutral, would that be desirable? Does it level the playing field for discrimination or does it wipe out everything that makes us unique and special as individuals?
&nbsp;
<h3>Talent Pipelines</h3>
Finally, this new virtual world is likely to unlock whole new requirements for talent. Jobs that haven&rsquo;t been invented yet, never mind about having healthy talent pipelines to fill them! How do we prepare to find the best talent, for roles and technology that doesn&rsquo;t yet exist? As an example, are you struggling to find Data Scientists? We weren&rsquo;t ready for that role either and we still haven&rsquo;t caught up!
One thing is for sure; this type of technology is likely to exacerbate current HR challenges. Talent attraction, employee engagement, employee wellbeing, inclusion and diversity are all hot topics. They aren't going away, and HR professionals are having to do more to make a better working environment for employees. Whilst this technology isn&rsquo;t imminent, once it arrives, it&rsquo;s likely to make the ripples bigger.
Watch, wait and prepare!

The future of the workplace and the implications for HR.

Facebook is now ‘Meta’ - Should HR be paying close attention?

We speak to a lot of businesses that have done engagement surveys in the past and have had a bad experience. All understood the importance of employee feedback. But something went wrong in the execution.
Often they've done an annual survey that was an enormous effort to carry out. Administering the survey and getting the questions out was a big effort. Even more time was wasted getting results back. Then to make matters worse, very little action was taken as a result.
This well thought out action-plan is now languishing in a drawer somewhere. The results were never published. Nobody talks about it. And if they do they are black-bagged and escorted from the premises!
If this sounds familiar, the rest of this article should be helpful.
&nbsp;
Measuring levels of employee engagement in your business is as critical as tracking profit and loss. It helps with operating and decision making. Without it, you are working blind. You have little understanding how your team feels or what is impacting their performance.
Here's a few recommendations to make sure you don't experience the same problems next time;
&nbsp;
<h4 class="ql-align-justify">1. Make space in your business for employee feedback</h4>
Employee engagement should be a regular conversation in your business. It should be (at least) an agenda point in your leadership meeting. Data should be available and visible to view. Working out how it becomes built into the fabric of your everyday dialogue is vital. Find the time and space to discuss it and it will pay dividends.
&nbsp;
<h4 class="ql-align-justify">2. Build employee engagement into every-day conversations</h4>
Having an engaged sales team will drive better performance and better figures. If a board member calls their Sales Director they will talk about sales figures. But if they also ask about the engagement of the team they will surface this as a priority. Asking about employee feedback will drive a different action from the Director. This will encourage better results.
&nbsp;
<h4 class="ql-align-justify">3. Ask for employee feedback more regularly</h4>
Asking for annual feedback from employees doesn&rsquo;t make sense. It isn&rsquo;t often enough. Employee feedback is only powerful when used to tap into what is happening in the moment - as it&rsquo;s happening.
Asking 'how does it feel to work in this business' once in a year, can do more harm than good. It can quickly fall into a &ldquo;tick box&rdquo; exercise. To make employee feedback a meaningful process, you need to ask regularly.
&nbsp;
<h4 class="ql-align-justify">4. Share findings quickly</h4>
This one is a biggie. After you&rsquo;ve asked for feedback, share what you&rsquo;ve learned with your team and what you&rsquo;re going to do with it. Then go and do what you have said you are going to do!
Employees will feel a lot more excited about the process if they get the results quickly. Make it clear that their feedback was heard, valued and respected.
If employees have had a bad experience in the past, you might find they are reluctant to take part in your first few surveys. But taking fast action (regardless of participation rates) will quickly build trust. It will also add value into the process and should result in higher future participation rate.
&nbsp;
<h4 class="ql-align-justify">5. Choose a tool that can make feedback easy for you</h4>
Technology helps when it comes to collecting employee feedback. We&rsquo;re making it easy for businesses to collect employee feedback and make it part of their business.
Here&rsquo;s just a few ways we&rsquo;re helping:
<ul>
<li>Short surveys, carried out on a regular basis.&nbsp; Support with changing up questions as the type of feedback you need changes over time</li>
<li>WhatsApp and SMS to carry out surveys and ask for feedback - a quick and engaging experience for your teams</li>
<li>A straightforward dashboard that updates with your feedback as it&rsquo;s coming in</li>
<li>Replying anonymously to written feedback. It demonstrates you&rsquo;re actively taking part in a survey</li>
<li>A wrap-up report that you can complete and send out to teams within minutes of your survey closing</li>
<li>An action planning tool so you can keep track of progress and accountability.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
If you've had a poor experience of surveys and employee feedback in the past, don&rsquo;t give up! Hit 'reset' and take a different approach. The feedback is incredibly important to your business and can have a huge impact.

How to try again with an employee survey if it wasn’t a great experience in the past.

If at first you don’t succeed... try us instead!

As we continue to grow our client base at Ten Space, our clients continue to challenge us on ways to use the Ten Space <a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">platform</a>.
We&rsquo;ve made it easy to go out to employees to ask for feedback. As such our clients are finding more and more ways to ask for their employee&rsquo;s opinions, thoughts and ideas. It&rsquo;s helping them make decisions faster and with more confidence. It&rsquo;s also keeping engagement high.
Below we've detailed 10 ways to use our platform to gather employee feedback. We&rsquo;ve added a couple of use cases at the end too, for special scenarios where feedback can be the difference between success and failure!
&nbsp;
<h3>Regular Cadence Surveys</h3>
<h4>1. Quarterly Engagement Survey&nbsp;</h4>
This is typically a set of 10-20 questions sent to employees on a quarterly basis. Carried out regularly it can help track trends and highlight areas of concern. Great open-ended questions will keep the ideas and feedback coming in and continue to provide you with insight on how engaged your team is.
&nbsp;
<h4>2. Monthly eNPS</h4>
A one-question survey sent out monthly (usually between a quarterly survey) - to check-in. This is particularly powerful if you&rsquo;ve segmented your team so you can identify where urgent action is needed.
&nbsp;
<h4>3. Training needs analysis</h4>
A great way to capture knowledge and understanding on a topic with a specific group. Use this feedback before building a learning solution, or before delivering a solution to shape the content. Surveys can be conducted after the solution is delivered to measure impact.
&nbsp;
<h4>4. Hybrid work check-ins</h4>
How is hybrid / remote working going? Is it working for the team? Is it aiding engagement? A regular check in can help you find out and make adjustments to your approach to ensure you&rsquo;re getting the best from your team and they feel supported.
&nbsp;
<h4>5. Wellbeing questionnaires</h4>
An anonymous survey can be really powerful when it comes to understanding the wellbeing of your team. You can get honest feedback quickly and identify hot spots and intervene if needed.
&nbsp;
<h4>6. Rewards and benefits reviews</h4>
How valued are your rewards and benefits? Do employees know about them? Understand them? A short regular survey on benefits and rewards can help you understand your return on investment. It can help you understand where you may need to invest further to boost uptake, or remain attractive as an employer.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h4>7. Change management review</h4>
If you&rsquo;ve been through a period of change, a well-tailored question set to a specific team, or even the whole business can help seek out if it&rsquo;s landed well. You can check the understanding and sentiment of the team as they go through the change curve.
&nbsp;
<h4>8. Leadership alignment survey</h4>
Surveys aimed purely at the leadership team to ensure that they are supported and feel empowered and inspired to lead their own teams. This is a critical layer in any organisation and it can help to ensure that they are aligned and engaged.
&nbsp;
<h4>9. Mission, vision, values check-in</h4>
Regular check-ins to ensure that everyone is still aligned and heading in the same direction! By mentioning key points about your vision, mission and values in your question set, you have the added benefit of keeping them front of mind.
&nbsp;
<h4>10. Diversity, equality and inclusion check-ins</h4>
Do your team feel they can be their true selves at work? Do they feel included and truly belong? Do they believe you are doing enough to create a diverse and inclusive culture? Anonymity can be a powerful tool when asking for feedback. If you have a diversity and inclusion agenda, tracking progress and employee feedback can boost impact.
Specific Purpose - some not-so-regular uses we&rsquo;re working on!
&nbsp;
<h4>Post-acquisition review</h4>
If you&rsquo;ve recently acquired a business, you&rsquo;ll need to capture hearts and minds for a newly shaped organisation. An engagement survey to check-in can be a powerful change tool here and prevent attrition of key talent.
&nbsp;
<h4>Pre-transaction due diligence</h4>
Need to impress a potential investor with how awesome your team is? Or maybe you are the investor and you&rsquo;re doing your due diligence? Asking for employee feedback and understanding engagement is just as important as the financials of a business.
After event success check-in (team night out, conference, sales event etc.)
This is a fun one we&rsquo;ve done recently. At the start of an event, check-in on understanding, engagement etc. Then re-survey at the end of the event and instantly measure impact! After a team night out you might get some very interesting responses!

If you spend time on social media, you don&rsquo;t need to look far to find a troll. These are people or accounts who show deviant, malicious or antisocial behaviour online. Their aim is to offend and trigger<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://skemman.is/bitstream/1946/28349/1/Predictive%20Factors%20of%20Facebook%20Trolling%20Behaviour_skemman.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;conflict.</a> This is an obvious and prolific form of cyberbullying.
Often trolls hide their true identity online, so it wouldn&rsquo;t be obvious if you had an internet troll in your team.&nbsp;O<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.sbs.com.au/news/one-in-three-australians-say-they-ve-been-trolled-online/c8ec0e27-cb88-4c94-9505-77554520b692" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ne in three</a>&nbsp;people say they have experience of receiving abuse online. Sadly, we&rsquo;re not talking about something rare and unusual.
A<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/blog/your-online-secrets/201409/internet-trolls-are-narcissists-psychopaths-and-sadists" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;2014 study</a> showed those who said they enjoyed internet trolling had common personality traits. These included<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/basics/narcissism" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;narcissism</a>,<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/basics/dark-triad" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;Machiavellianism</a>,<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/basics/psychopathy" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;psychopathy</a>, and sadism. In short, trolls enjoy making you feel bad.&nbsp;
So if people are 'trolling' online, in their own time, with a hidden identity, should you care about having trolls in your team?
&nbsp;
Yes. You absolutely should.
Trolls are bullies. Their behaviour can lead to psychological damage of themselves and others. And there are many documented cases of where it has led to<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/celebrity/charlotte-dawson-death-twitter-criticised-for-failing-to-act-against-trolls-20140222-338z6.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;suicide</a>.
It's also very likely that these character traits and behaviours are present in the workplace (albeit to a lesser degree). Some believe that internet trolling is a way of discharging this type of behaviour so that it is less likely to appear face-to-face. Having a secret troll on your team means having someone who is unkind, aggressive and unwilling to be accountable for their actions. They aren't the ideal team member.&nbsp;
Having people that display these personality traits and enjoy spouting hate online is bad for culture and employee engagement. All organisations should have zero tolerance on bullying, whatever form it takes.
A great culture is built around a psychologically safe space, where people can be themselves and everyone is welcomed. Trolls can be hugely problematic for creating a healthy &amp; inclusive working environment.
&nbsp;
<h3>How can you protect your team from trolls?</h3>
The best way to protect your team is to research a potential recruit online before hiring them. Be careful here, this is not a forensic deep-dive into someone&rsquo;s online activity! If you can find evidence demonstrating trolling behaviour, this should be a red flag against welcoming them to your team.
More workplaces have gone remote and rely on written communication for every day interaction. This helps shape the culture of a team and build employee engagement. There is now more opportunity for people to bring their toxic habits into the workplace. The wrong thing to do is to monitor online behaviour of your employees. This can erode trust and create engagement problems of a different kind.
Allowing employees to provide regular<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;anonymous feedback is a</a> safe way for them to raise concerns. Employees can pro-actively share their thoughts about culture and engagement. This allows you to spot any signs of toxicity creeping in and address them before they grow.
In extreme cases, cyberbullying is<a style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;" href="https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/how-can-hr-respond-if-an-employee-has-been-trolling-someone-online/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&nbsp;illegal</a>, it carries a prison sentence and a fine of up to &pound;5,000. As an employer, you are legally responsible for the actions of your employees whilst in your employment, even if you didn&rsquo;t know about it, or endorse it.
If an employee makes hateful comments online they can be traced back and may be considered to be representative of the business. Dealing with cyberbullying appropriately may be a legal obligation as well as a moral one. Many organisations are dealing with online behaviour &amp; social media in policies. If you are, it should cover trolls, cyberbullying and harassment.
The behaviours and traits of trolls and cyberbullies may creep into the workplace where they can be as damaging as they are online. Taking a zero tolerance approach on such attitudes is the only way to deal with trolls. Providing employees with a safe way to share concerns anonymously is an important way to protect the health of your organisation and its culture.

Trolls hide their identity online, so you won't always know they are in your team - but you may notice the impact they are having on engagement.

Is there a troll in your team?

A look at employment trends and what that means for employee engagement in 5 years time.

What does the future of work look like for a new starter?

For 11 years of my career I ran a digital marketing and brand agency. In the time I was there I worked on hundreds of brands for clients of all shapes and sizes, and in all fields and particularly loved the creative outcomes of the work we produced.
The term &lsquo;brand&rsquo; has a lot of different connotations. In retail, a brand often associates a product with it&rsquo;s manufacturer and gives a sense of identity and often value to the product. It can have tangible elements such as a logo, colours, typefaces, materials and slogans, all of which make the brand instantly recognisable and give it a sense of identity.
Good brands are consistent and well recognised. If you remove the logos and writing from a whole variety of consumer products you can still easily identify those brands by other facets such as colour and design.&nbsp;
Building an amazing brand inspires huge customer loyalty. The nirvana of any good brand is to inspire such deep rooted psychological love of the brand, that your customers won&rsquo;t consider other options. Personally I wouldn&rsquo;t consider any tech hardware options other than Apple.
The way that Apple products have been woven into the fabric of my everyday life means that it&rsquo;s different for me to move anywhere else now, but I also love the brand for a whole bunch of reasons including usability, design, marketing and of course the founder vision created by the late Steve Jobs.
For consumers, brands inspire loyalty. With that loyalty, your customers become sticky and keep on buying. But how does this brand loyalty transcend into your workforce?
&nbsp;
<h3>What is 'employer brand'?</h3>
In the same way that marketers create a compelling &lsquo;customer brand&rsquo; to inspire customer loyalty, so too must HR teams create a compelling &lsquo;employer brand&rsquo; that they can apply to the entire employee lifecycle.
All businesses have an employer brand. It&rsquo;s the way in which businesses differentiate themselves in the labour market to recruit, retain and engage people. It helps businesses gain a competitive edge in the recruitment of great people and establish greater credibility.&nbsp;
In the CIPD 2008 guide &lsquo;Employer Branding - A no nonsense approach&rsquo;, employer brand is defined 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 wider context of the business, a solid employer brand should be linked to a company&rsquo;s values, policies, people strategy and external brand. Without this there can be a huge misalignment between the type of people that the company hires and their ability to deliver the brand promise outlined by the marketing team.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Why is it so important?</h3>
Developing a high value &lsquo;employer brand&rsquo; can benefit a company in many tangible and intangible ways.&nbsp;
For marketers, a quality &lsquo;consumer brand&rsquo; makes it easier to attract, engage and retain customers and build extreme loyalty. This is known as the customer lifecycle. For HR people, adopting the same approach builds extreme loyalty with employees for the &lsquo;employee lifecycle&rsquo;
&lsquo;Employee lifecycle&rsquo; is the experience that an employee has with their employer. It can start way before they ever become an employee, but is associated with their experience of how they are recruited, onboarded, managed, rewarded, communicated to and ultimately how they exit.&nbsp;
Positive experiences in these areas will lead to a better &lsquo;employee experience&rsquo; and build an engaged employee that feels valued and respected by their employer. The payback here is that they usually want to work harder to adopt the company&rsquo;s mission , vision and values in their working behaviours. Even if a highly engaged employee chooses to leave the organisation, chances are they'll still add value by acting as a &lsquo;promoter&rsquo; of that organisation; telling everyone they know about their positive employee experience! Conversely a negative experience in one or all of these areas can have the opposite effect, as was experienced by Brewdog recently.
&nbsp;
<h3>How do you create and amazing employer brand?</h3>
This is where a blog could easily become a 100 page whitepaper. There is a written methodology to this, which is very similar to the marketing methodology around customer brands. This involves;
<ol>
<li>Discovery -&nbsp;Understanding more about your employees, your management and the&nbsp;current situation</li>
<li>Creation -&nbsp;Analysis the data from your discovery process and create an employee value proposition</li>
<li>Implementation -&nbsp;Getting the employee value proposition out there and embedding it into the culture</li>
<li>Maintenance -&nbsp;Ensuring that the company lives and breathes the employer brand through careful measurement and optimisation&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
This is not a one-off exercise, this is a strategic exercise and it&rsquo;s an ongoing exercise too. In just the same way that a consumer brand can be devalued overnight, so too can an employer brand so it&rsquo;s vitally important that building an employer brand is viewed as an exercise in continual improvement.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Make a start today - The discovery!</h3>
Without a good discovery (or good research) you run the risk of making the wrong decisions or even reversing some of the good you&rsquo;ve managed to achieve. I&rsquo;ve seen first hand how the car industry invests millions of dollars into market research to ensure that they make good decisions about the future of their products. These sums are huge, but the consequences can be billion dollar losses.
Using great technology and great methodology to achieve a great discovery is helpful. Running workshops with your senior management, running focus groups with your employees and conducting employee engagement surveys are a great start. If you have a great way to collect this data, to measure improvement and importantly to understand &lsquo;what good looks like&rsquo; then you&rsquo;re taking your first steps in the right direction.&nbsp;
And as a final thought, don&rsquo;t get hung-up on the scores - these are often vanity metrics. Instead invest your energy in the qualitative feedback that comes back from your employees. That&rsquo;s where the great ideas come from that help you build a brand that your employees really buy into.
&nbsp;
We&rsquo;re here to help you make that start. Drop us a message on our contact form and we&rsquo;ll show you how.

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.
