Problem:
As labor markets continue to tighten, and the cost of turnover increases, organizations can consider a variety of methods to measure employee engagement and satisfaction, in an effort to retain top employees.
Discuss ways your organization measures or monitors employee satisfaction, such as focus groups or employee surveys, and your thoughts regarding effectiveness of these strategies. Does your HR department communicate results with employees in a timely manner? Do you feel you are able to affect change within your organization by participating in any offered venues? What role, if any, should managers play in ensuring employee satisfaction and retention or is this simply an HR function?
