Episode notes
Gather Comprehensive Employee Feedback
- Go talk to employees individually for qualitative feedback and then gather it to spot patterns.
- Supplement with quantitative feedback regularly to gain line of sight on issues to fix.
Build Trust Before Big Feedback
- Start asking workers small feedback questions and immediately act on them to build trust.
- This encourages staff to be more open with bigger, more important feedback over time.
Use Anonymous Surveys for Honesty
- Make surveys anonymous to encourage honest feedback, even if it’s hard for leaders.
- Accept that you can't chase anonymous responses but can use the data to address overall team issues.
