For those who have worked in big fortune 500 companies, employee surveys are no new terms. Are surveys the best way to gauge employee sentiment? And for companies not doing annual survey, how can we tell?
While it is hard to see the overall employee engagement, it is more straight forward to figure out the employee morale of the immediate organization. There are a few indicators that could be telling.
- Do employees show interest, pretend to show interest, or not pay attention in Staff Meeting?
- Do the employees bring new ideas outside of their area, new ideas within their area, or no idea whatsoever?
- Do they show enthusiasm or boredom in topics?
- Do employees share good tips, best practices with each other without being asked?
- Is there a sharp increase in Work-from-Home time and Early Dismissal when their bosses are away?
- Do the employees own company stock? (This is probably harder to find out).
What kinds of organization would you join when the market is hot? And when the economy is tough?
And what is the best fit organization for you?
