The Tech Trek Nikhil Desai - Employee engagement in the engineering space
Highlights of my conversation with Nikhil:
- It takes a village (people, executives, everyone) for employee engagement to be successful
- Providing employees with safe spaces
- Leveraging trends from survey data (NPS style)
- Empower managers to align with individuals and their teams
- Allow teams to make decentralized decisions on how they implement certain processes
- Onboarding is a critical piece and starts before the start date
