Key takeaways from this episode:

Within employee engagement, there are a few main areas that organizations should really focus on and do a temperature check on to make sure they are focusing on the right things.

1. Is there a high level of trust in leadership and management? In an engaged workforce, employees see leaders as credible, reliable, and trustworthy.
2. Is there a communication approach that embraces two-way communication? Ideally, there should be a feedback loop so that you are not waiting for your annual engagement survey results to learn about any issues or challenges. There should be a clear line of visibility and communication to employees.
3. What does employee growth and development look like? Employees want to feel they can grow and develop in their current role or any future roles.
