- Lack of action leads to lack of trust. Cynicism can develop around engagement if action isn’t taken and detract from future engagement initiatives. For action to be effective, leadership needs to own it.
- However, “The executive leadership team acts on employee feedback" is the fourth lowest scoring question out of 59 engagement driver questions (McLean & Company Engagement Database, 2020-2023, N=94,995-219,903). Launching an engagement survey is like diving into a new adventure. Just like any journey, a lack of preparedness and inaction increases the risk of negative consequences.

Our Advice
Critical Insight
- The most critical part of engagement happens post survey, yet organizations are often struck by analysis paralysis.
- To avoid cynicism, cascade the analysis of employee engagement survey results and tailor the approach for timely, targeted, and relevant engagement action planning.
Impact and Result

- Analyzing the results: Identify organizational priorities and determine the right approach to analyzing results and action planning for your organization. Analyze and communicate the results to key players and define their roles.
- Developing insights and actions: Determine the right approach to developing insights and actions and equip managers to conduct qualitative analysis.
- Building and implementing action plans: Identify initiatives that have the highest impact on organizational priorities, set timelines and task owners, and track progress using McLean & Company templates and tools.
