Confronting CEO Objections to Surveys (You Can't Drive Engagement Without Autonomy!)

Flip Flops & People Ops (w/ Christie Hoffman)

In today's episode, I talk about why the CEO shouldn't be gatekeeping your ability to send surveys. You need autonomy to deploy employee surveys and create an on-going feedback loop, because we're never done driving engagement! Plus, 76% of employees will look for another job when they don't feel listened to.
I also discuss how to have a positive discussion with your CEO to reposition surveys as a driver to thwt athey care about - REVENUE. You get there, by prioritizing the Employe experience.
Building trust and gaining autonomy in your role as a HR/People/Culture leader requires effective communication, demonstrating value, and building trust by showing the undeniable benefits of employee feedback. Grab a pen, take notes, and ENJOY!
