Gathering feedback from enterprise employees is one thing acting on it is another. Taking a proactive stance can make a huge difference: https://lnkd.in/dkrNWWf Most enterprises and corporations have grasped the vital importance of feedback gathering. However, following through on the insights gleaned from feedback can be harder to deliver. This can create a major issue for organizations, with effort and time expended on feedback gathering, but not on creating the mechanism...s to change and modify in response to this fresh information. This can create an ongoing issue, as employees see feedback flowing, but no solutions. In this blog post, we examine practical ways to pre-position your organization to take active advantage of these streams of data. By understanding and then acting on the employee experience, enterprises can realize positive impacts on both employee engagement and retention.

In business, the challenge is to ensure our limited time is invested towards a future where the enterprise’s goals are being truly met. Corporate training can offer a bridge towards this, recalibrating employees’ focus towards defined outcomes, while also encouraging new competencies and skillsets. The key to delivering this is ensuring that learning programs align with the company’s goals, as well as providing the kind of consideration and empowerment that employees seek. ... Properly delivered and measured, the outcomes can include better employee retention, advocacy, and productivity, along with improved workforce cohesion.
