At the beginning of the pandemic, everyone was scrambling to understand the “new normal" of remote-work and many organizations have had to pivot-several times-as the world continued to change. And now today, we're examining what a post-pandemic workplace looks like from vaccine mandates, hybrid work, returning to the office, and navigating damage control from employees who felt invisible and unheard over the past year or so. Even though the COVID cloud seems to be lifting, the Great Resignation is still in full swing and not going away anytime soon. According to a recent study, 73% of Americans are looking for a new job and it's because their feedback went unheard and they don't feel supported or connected to their organizations. To retain your top talent, it’s important to take the steps necessary to ensure employees feel heard and appreciated. While you can look at existing research, best practices, and statistics on how to respond in times of crisis, no information is as powerful as the voice of your workforce. Let’s take a real world look at how one employer leveraged an engagement survey to win the hearts and commitment of their employees at the beginning of the pandemic. It is imperative to assess your employees’emotional commitment to the company and begin to build―or improve upon―your engagement initiatives. Your employee feedback can help navigate your unique position in the market by uncovering where to allocate time and resources to equip your team for success. However, the data is only as good as the survey experience. Employees may be burnt out on surveys, participation rates may have been low, or they may have never taken one before. Either way, the time is now to take a strategic look at your survey process to get the best results. 3 Sparck [www.sparckco.com](www.sparckco.com) An engagement survey will help you identify and prioritize the areas that employees feel are the most effective to successfully move the organization forward.
