Employee Value Proposition (EVP) - what does your organisation stand for &amp; why is it unique?
We hosted a webinar on EVP in November. Check out the&nbsp;<a href="https://youtu.be/fChhH7hlhHg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recording here</a>. Plus if you want some help in getting started with your EVP, you can find our Action Plan Builder at the bottom of this blog.
A strong EVP will help retain top performers and attract the best external talent.&nbsp;
Your organisation is distinctive because of its values, culture, and benefits. Your EVP is what sets you apart from the competition, even if you make the same goods or offer the same services.
Your EVP should have a combination of rewards and benefits that employees are given in return for performing well at work.
A compelling EVP includes:
<ul>
<li>Compensation</li>
<li>Work-life balance</li>
<li>Stability</li>
<li>Respect</li>
<li>Location</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>Importance of a Great EVP</h3>
These initiatives can boost productivity, raise earnings, give workers a better working environment, and lower staff turnover.
By delivering on your EVP you can decrease employee turnover by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/human-resources/insights/employee-engagement-performance/employee-value-proposition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">nearly 70%</a>.&nbsp;
Here are some strong examples of Employee Value Propositions:
&nbsp;
<h4>1.HubSpot</h4>
&lsquo;Your best work starts here&rsquo;, according to HubSpot's EVP. Their benefits page supports that claim. The main goal of HubSpot's EVP is to &ldquo;help you be the best 'you' that you can be" by striking a balance between work and personal obligations.
It&rsquo;s open about its priorities and offers a document of more than 100 pages called the "HubSpot Culture Code" that describes in detail how this culture is put into practise.
&nbsp;
<h4>2.Nike</h4>
"Win as a team" is one of Nike's EVP headlines. Nike's culture places a strong emphasis on achieving athletic innovation with a team mindset.
Its "team mindset" is consistent in how it handles benefits and compensation.
&nbsp;
<h4>3.Gartner</h4>
The five pillars of Gartner's EVP are:&nbsp;challenging work; talented people; limitless growth; community impact; and big rewards. The company's EVP encourages employees to "live well - in all parts of your life."
&nbsp;
<h3>Review your current EVP</h3>
Examining what you currently have in place is an excellent way to start when reviewing your EVP. Try to look at some of these things with objectivity and think about how your present or future employees could perceive them:
<ul>
<li>Employee engagement, employee voice and culture</li>
<li>Benefits and package</li>
<li>Vision, mission, values and goals&nbsp;</li>
<li>Career development and investment in personal development&nbsp;</li>
<li>Social media and online presence&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
You may already be developing an action plan to strengthen your EVP. If you want to dig a little deeper with your evaluation, take into account the following:
&nbsp;
<h4>1. Using the right tools</h4>
Learn what makes working for your company special, and why current employees choose to stay. You can use existing perceptions to improve your EVP once you've identified them.
Conduct an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/employee-engagement---starting-your-survey-process" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anonymous employee engagement</a> survey to learn what matters to your team, what motivates them, and why they stick with your company.&nbsp;The information you collate should reach all aspects of your organisation.
Consider more factors than just benefits and compensation when conducting this research. Determine the rewards and intangible experiences that employees cherish.&nbsp;
To make sure you're asking your employees the correct questions and gaining a clear picture of how they see your organisation, we use our four engagement pillars:
These pillars are:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wellbeing</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fulfilment</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leadership</a></li>
<li><a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Connection</a></li>
</ul>
At Ten Space, we&rsquo;ll also help you to use your employee feedback to create social media content, to take your culture online.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Book a demo here</a> to begin your path to a maximised EVP.
Our employee feedback surveys frequently address the important topic of recognition, with many employees reporting a mismatch between their expectations and their actual experiences. According to&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/11-employee-feedback-statistics#:~:text=Did%20you%20know%20that%20receiving,efforts%20were%20being%20better%20recognized." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">69% of workers</a>, employees would work harder if their efforts were valued more, and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/space-hr-feedback-500-mar22---topic-recognition--employee-engagement" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">our own research</a> supports this claim.
Recognition, which is free, reflects and reinforces your company culture. It increases engagement and performance while giving your employees a sense of value.
According to "The State of Employee Appreciation," businesses who give individual or team recognition saw a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.zippia.com/advice/employee-recognition-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">14% increase</a> in performance.
For 3 key points to getting recognition right in your team,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/3-keys-points-to-getting-recognition-right-in-your-team" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">check out our blog</a>.
&nbsp;
<h4>2. Communicate the message</h4>
When you&rsquo;ve completed your research, collate the data. Your employees' top core values and distinguishing characteristics will be easy for you to identify.&nbsp;
Think of these as the superpowers of your company!
These superpowers will enable us to create a statement that summarises your EVP.
Your writing should be clear and concise. It should be clear what matters most to your staff members, why they stay, and what your company does that is exceptional in your industry.
Find innovative and pertinent ways to explain your EVP to the audience you are attempting to attract after it has been defined.
Here are a few ideas:
<ul>
<li>Hiring Channels&nbsp;- Employer websites, advertisements, and the interview process. Prospective employees can assess whether they would be a good fit for your company.</li>
<li>Branding, PR &amp; Marketing -&nbsp;These strategies will aid in creating a favourable impression of your organisation among the passive labour market.</li>
<li>Bringing it to life -&nbsp;If you claim to support work-life balance or ongoing development&nbsp; but do not offer training, career advancement, study leave, or flexible working hours, your workplace's reality falls short of your promise.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h4>3. Refining</h4>
Measure the effectiveness of your EVP frequently, and keep it evolving to meet the needs of your people and the market now and in the future.
You should:
<ul>
<li>Keep an eye on candidate applications and employee retention rates because they can provide excellent cues as to when you should make changes or take action.</li>
<li>Make sure current employees are consulted at all stages of their employment with you, not only after the first 12 months. Continue to pay attention to them.</li>
<li>Conduct frequent employee engagement surveys to stay current on what matters to your teams and where you are succeeding and failing.</li>
</ul>
Every year, review your EVP. If necessary, change your employment proposition to make sure it is relevant and embodied in your employee&rsquo;s day-to-day experience. When necessary, restructure your EVP to more accurately reflect employee expectations.
Success comes from your team's alignment with the organisation's EVP. A highly engaged team is still only one step away.

Organisations with high engagement outperform organisations with low engagement by <a href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/229424/employee-engagement.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">202%</a>. Employee Engagement needs to be one of your top priorities to ensure your business can succeed.
Here we take a look at some of the key things you need to consider before you send out your first survey.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Specialist Engagement Platforms</h3>
One of the first topics that comes up when an organisation decides to do an employee engagement survey is utilising a third party company. So what are the advantages of using a specialist to carry out your surveys?&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>The best questions are those written with the aid of a third-party viewpoint. An expert, outside perspective will be most helpful to leadership and HR teams. These questions can&rsquo;t be written in a way that would influence the replies and make the most of the insight you capture.&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="https://www.thehrdirector.com/features/employee-engagement/improve-quality-quantity-employee-feedback-make-anonymous/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">74% of employees</a>&nbsp;said they&rsquo;d be willing to give more feedback if they were truly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/sorry-boss-theres-something-you-should-know-please-dont-fire-me" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anonymous</a>. For anonymity and trust, using a third-party employee survey platform is crucial. It makes the survey-taking experience for employees as psychologically safe as possible. It might be challenging for teams to trust their responses are anonymous when surveys are conducted internally.</li>
<li>A specialised platform can greatly speed up data processing and the time it takes to move from survey&nbsp;<a href="https://www.tenspace.co.uk/blogs/making-the-most-of-your-engagement-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">launch to action</a>. When it comes to analysing and disseminating survey results, choosing a platform to do the data-crunching for you can be a smart investment.</li>
</ol>
&nbsp;
<h3>Survey Design</h3>
A lengthy survey may affect response rates and prevent your team from completing the survey. Many team members may attempt to rush through their responses or avoid taking it altogether when the number of questions increases to a significant quantity.
The surveys should be kept brief and contain only the questions that would elicit the best responses from the staff.
To provide you with data points and written responses, we advise using a variety of scaled questions (0&ndash;10) with a few written feedback questions also. This will allow your team to finish the survey in a reasonable amount of time and give them the opportunity to provide comments that are more in-depth.
💡 Aim to keep the number of questions on your employee survey around 12-20. Better data quality and response rates will result from doing this as people won&rsquo;t lose interest.
Your team shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes to complete your survey. Ideally, make it a regular event that lasts no longer than five minutes.
&nbsp;
<h3>Results &amp; Action</h3>
The response you give to a survey is what matters most, not the survey itself. You can instantly increase participation and give the process significance by quickly sharing your results with your team and committing to the steps you will take.
Sharing employee engagement results in corporate and team messaging is crucial since it allows you to:
BE OPEN&nbsp;- Don't attempt to frame outcomes as better or worse than they actually are. Openly discuss them. The way you discuss survey results sets the tone for how honestly you will accept future employee feedback and suggestions for change. Transparency fosters trust.
BE CLEAR &ndash; Results from employee surveys might be challenging to interpret. When communicating the findings to staff, be as concise and clear as you can. Keep your commentary and language simple so as to avoid confusion.
DON'T PLAY DETECTIVE - The answers ought to be anonymous. Never engage in conjecture about who said what while discussing the results of an employee survey. An anonymous survey process loses credibility and integrity as a result of this and can be damaging to overall engagement in the long run.
Want to know more about the steps after the survey has ended? Check our blog on&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/making-the-most-of-your-engagement-data" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&lsquo;Making the most of your engagement data&rsquo;</a>
&nbsp;
A successful business depends on knowing how to encourage team engagement and satisfaction at work. Utilise employee engagement surveys to collect truthful, trustworthy input. It&rsquo;s possible to take action and build a fantastic workplace with this feedback and data.

Employee Value Proposition (EVP) - what does your organisation stand for &amp; why is it unique?
A strong EVP will help retain top performers and attract the best external talent.&nbsp;
Values, culture and benefits are what make your organisation unique. You may make the same products or provide the same service as your competitors, but your EVP is what makes you stand out from the crowd.&nbsp;
Your EVP should have a combination of rewards and benefits that employees are given in return for performing well at work.
A compelling EVP includes:
<ul>
<li>Compensation</li>
<li>Work-life balance</li>
<li>Stability</li>
<li>Location</li>
<li>Respect</li>
</ul>
But why is this important?&nbsp;These programs can help reduce employee turnover, improve profits, provide a great employee experience, and build an inclusive workplace.&nbsp;
Organisations that deliver on their EVPs are able to decrease employee turnover by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gartner.com/en/human-resources/insights/employee-engagement-performance/employee-value-proposition" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">nearly 70%</a>.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Strong examples</h3>
<h4>1.HubSpot</h4>
HubSpot&rsquo;s EVP starts with the tagline, &ldquo;Your best work starts here&rdquo; and their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hubspot.com/careers/benefits?hubs_signup-cta=careers-nav-benefits&amp;__hstc=210838794.6e59749ebc44e837f35ee7c6f316b149.1663921118815.1663921118815.1663921118815.1&amp;__hssc=210838794.1.1663921118815&amp;__hsfp=1928180409" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">benefits page</a> backs up that statement. The core promise of HubSpot&rsquo;s EVP is a balance between work and life that promises to &ldquo;help you be the best &lsquo;you&rsquo; that you can be&rdquo;.&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s transparent about its priorities and provides a 100+ page document called the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.hubspot.com/careers?hubs_signup-cta=careers-nav-homepage&amp;__hstc=210838794.6e59749ebc44e837f35ee7c6f316b149.1663921118815.1663921118815.1663921118815.1&amp;__hssc=210838794.1.1663921118815&amp;__hsfp=1928180409" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">&ldquo;HubSpot Culture Code&rdquo;</a>&nbsp;that details specifically how this culture is implemented.
&nbsp;
<h4>2.Nike</h4>
One of the headlines of&nbsp;<a href="https://jobs.nike.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nike&rsquo;s</a>&nbsp;EVP is &ldquo;Win as a team&rdquo;. Nike&rsquo;s culture emphasises accomplishing innovation in the world of sport with a team mentality.&nbsp;
Its approach to benefits and compensation shows a consistency of its &lsquo;team perspective&rsquo;.
&nbsp;
<h4>3.Gartner</h4>
Gartner communicates its EVP in five pillars: challenging work; talented people; limitless growth; community impact; and big rewards. Its EVP encourages employees to &ldquo;live well &mdash; in all aspects of your life&rdquo;.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Review your current EVP</h3>
A good place to start when reviewing your EVP is to look at what you have in place today. Try to take an objective look at some of these areas and consider how your current, or potential employees might view them:
<ul>
<li>Employee engagement, employee voice and culture</li>
<li>Benefits and package</li>
<li>Vision, mission, values and goals&nbsp;</li>
<li>Career development and investment in personal development&nbsp;</li>
<li>Social media and online presence&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
From here, you might already be starting to build up an action plan to strengthen your EVP. Here&rsquo;s some things to consider if you&rsquo;d like to take your review a bit deeper&hellip;
&nbsp;
<h3>Maximising EVP - Using the right tools</h3>
Find out what your existing employees think is unique about working for your organisation and why they stay. Once you uncover existing perceptions, you can leverage them to elevate your EVP.
Run an&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/how-it-works" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">anonymous engagement survey</a>, to find out what&rsquo;s important to them, what engages them and why they remain with your organisation. The information you collate should reach all aspects of your organisation.
When conducting this research, go beyond salary and financial benefits. Identify the intangible experience and rewards that staff value. We use our 4 pillars of engagement to ensure you&rsquo;re asking your teams the right questions and getting a great view of how your teams view your organisation.
<h4>These pillars are:</h4>

<h3>Maximising EVP - Communicate the message</h3>
When you&rsquo;ve completed your research, collate the data. You will be able to clearly list the core values and unique selling points that your employees rate highly. Consider these your organisation's super powers!&nbsp;
We can use these super powers to write a statement to summarise your EVP.
Your message should be succinct and clear. It should highlight what&rsquo;s most important to your employees, why they stay and what your organisation offers that&rsquo;s unique in your market.
Once your EVP has been defined, find creative and relevant ways to communicate it to the people you are trying to attract.
&nbsp;
<h4>Here are some suggestions:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Hiring channels -&nbsp;Company websites, advertising, the interview process. Prospective talent can determine if they would make a good fit for your business.</li>
<li>Branding, public relations &amp; marketing -&nbsp;This will help the passive labour market form a positive perception of the value of working for your company.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Bring it to life -&nbsp;If you claim to support work-life balance or ongoing development, but do not provide training, career progression, study leave or flexible working hours, the reality of your workplace does not match your promise.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>Maximising EVP - Refining</h3>
Constantly measure the success of your EVP and keep it evolving to keep up with what your talent and your industry need today and in the future.
You should:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Monitor candidate applications and employee retention rates - these can give great hints for when you need to make a change, or take action</li>
<li>Ensure existing employees are consulted throughout the lifecycle of their career with you, not only after their first 12 months - keep listening to them</li>
<li>Run&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/employee-engagement---why-consistency-is-critical" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">regular employee engagement surveys</a>&nbsp;to keep up to date on what&rsquo;s important to your teams and where you&rsquo;re getting it right and wrong.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Review your EVP annually. If necessary, adapt your employment proposition to ensure it remains relevant and is brought to life throughout your employees&rsquo; day-to-day experience. Reshape your EVP when required to authentically align with employee expectations.
Your team&rsquo;s connection to the organisation&rsquo;s EVP is what brings in success. It&rsquo;s just one step towards a highly engaged team.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Ten Space can help you to review your EVP.

EVP to the MAX

The term &lsquo;Quiet Quitting&rsquo; has been coming up a lot recently. But what is it, and how does it affect you?
Quiet quitting doesn&rsquo;t actually refer to quitting a job. It is quitting the idea of going above and beyond. This might materialise in the form of slowly withdrawing from overworking or disengagement.
Here are some symptoms you might notice in the workplace:
<ul>
<li>Not being as dedicated as they were - e.g. coming in late</li>
<li>Performing only to the minimum set of standards</li>
<li>Withdrawal from any non-necessary conversations, activities or tasks</li>
<li>Attendance at meetings but not speaking up or taking action</li>
</ul>
In some cases, quiet quitting can become a problem, especially when it spreads across a team or an organisation. But it&rsquo;s important to note that it isn&rsquo;t a new phenomenon. Quiet quitting has been around for decades.&nbsp;
You might recognise it under a different name:
<ul>
<li>Disengagement&nbsp;</li>
<li>Neglect&nbsp;</li>
<li>Withdrawal</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>Why has Quiet Quitting become popular?</h3>
Employees feel overworked and underpaid in the wake of the pandemic and amid the rising cost of living.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/space-hr-feedback-500-feb22---topic-increased-cost-of-living--employee-engagement" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">43% of leaders</a> we surveyed believe that the COL is having a negative impact on employee engagement.
Wage growth may be a large factor in why people don't want to put everything into their careers. In July 2022, the rate of inflation hit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/bulletins/consumerpriceinflation/july2022#:~:text=The%20Consumer%20Prices%20Index%20(CPI,no%20change%20in%20July%202021." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">10.1%</a>. In real terms, people are actually earning less money and may be adjusting their efforts to reflect their reward.
Workers are realising they&rsquo;ve put in a lot more effort than their salary shows. Quiet quitting is often discussed in the context of worker dissatisfaction and burnout and criticisms of the demands on workers.
There may also be age and generational reasons for quiet quitting. The new generation of employees, Gen Z, have been known to prioritise mental health and wellbeing. This comes above all else and can intervene with work life.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Should we all be quiet quitting?</h3>
Well, no! But to ensure that employees are happy in both home and personal life, it&rsquo;s important that they&rsquo;re engaged in their work and their workplace.&nbsp;
At Ten Space, we use a simple model to explore employee engagement this consisting of 4 pillars:
<ol>
<li><a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Connection -</a>&nbsp;companies vision, mission, values and goals&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Leadership -</a>&nbsp;relationships with leaders and managers</li>
<li><a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fulfilment -</a>&nbsp;feeling personally fulfilled in the workplace&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/5-steps-to-a-highly-engaged-team---part-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wellbeing -</a>&nbsp;feeling physically and psychologically safe in the workplace&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
It&rsquo;s important that all of these elements are in place, in order to create a happy and inspiring workplace, where employees want to come and deliver their best every day.&nbsp;
With the focus of quiet quitting being to improve mental health, we can get ourselves behind the principle. But it&rsquo;s important to understand where the line is drawn. Where &lsquo;focusing on wellbeing&rsquo; can turn into &lsquo;slacking off&rsquo;.
&nbsp;
<h3>The limits of Quiet Quitting</h3>
Boundaries are important. When outside your working hours employees have the right to switch off, ignore emails and forget about that deadline that&rsquo;s almost due.&nbsp;
Taking steps to improve mental health is a great thing to do. But there is a balance to be struck.&nbsp;
As leaders, we need to be more mindful than ever of burn out in the workplace, to ensure that employees don&rsquo;t disengage and quietly withdraw. On a day to day basis, you might want to consider the following:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Regular breaks and time away from the workplace&nbsp;</li>
<li>Talk to people and ask authentically &ldquo;how are you doing?&rdquo;&nbsp;</li>
<li>1:1s and time spent with and on the individual to check in</li>
<li>Mental health days&nbsp;</li>
<li><a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/blogs/can-flexible-working-improve-engagement" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Flexible working</a>&nbsp;and work-life blend / work-life respect&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
Is your team withdrawing? Are you worried they might start to quietly quit? At Ten Space, we believe in regular, open feedback between teams and leaders. We can help create a feedback culture and provide your teams with a voice in your organisation. We use expert knowledge and technology to gain insight into your team&rsquo;s engagement &amp; performance.&nbsp;
Use employee engagement surveys to know where the problems are in your organisation. Our data will tell you all you need to know in order to create an action plan that will prevent your team from quietly quitting.

Is Quiet Quitting a new phenomenon?

Employee engagement is essential when it comes to business success. Organisations with high engagement outperform organisations with low engagement by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/229424/employee-engagement.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">202%</a>. To ensure you&rsquo;re doing all you can to help your business succeed, you need to care about your employee&rsquo;s engagement. In fact it needs to be one of your top priorities!
When a company decides to conduct an employee engagement survey, one of the first things up for discussion is using a third party company to help you carry out the survey.
&nbsp;
<h3>Using a specialist employee feedback platform&nbsp;</h3>
1.Questions written with the help of a third-party perspective are the most effective. An expert, outside view will know what type of information will be most useful for leadership and HR teams. Not to mention the questions aren&rsquo;t written in a way to bias the answers.
2.Using a third-party employee survey company is extremely important for anonymity and confidentiality. It creates the safest of environments for employees to answer questions in the survey. When surveys are done in-house, it&rsquo;s difficult for teams to believe their answers are anonymous.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thehrdirector.com/features/employee-engagement/improve-quality-quantity-employee-feedback-make-anonymous/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">74% of employees</a> said they&rsquo;d be willing to give more feedback if they were truly anonymous.
3.A specialist platform can help hugely with data analysis and can massively cut down the time to get from survey launch, to action taken. Choosing a platform to crunch the data for you can be a wise investment when it comes to interpreting and sharing results post-survey.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Designing your survey&nbsp;</h3>
A long survey can impact response rates and could be the reason why your team isn&rsquo;t completing. When the number of questions rises to a large amount, many team members will try to rush through their answers or avoid taking it altogether.&nbsp;
It&rsquo;s best to keep the surveys concise with questions that will prompt the best answers out of employees.
<a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/how-it-works" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">We recommend</a> a mix of scaled questions (0-10) to give you data points and written responses. This way your team can complete the survey within a reasonable time whilst also having the chance to write more in-depth responses.
💡Try to limit your employee survey questions to under 20. Doing so will help with response rates and better quality data.
You don&rsquo;t want your team spending any more than 15 minutes completing your survey. Ideally, make it more like 5 minutes and make it a regular event.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Sharing your results and taking action&nbsp;</h3>
The most important thing about conducting a survey is the action you take after it&rsquo;s happened. By sharing your results with your team quickly and committing to the actions you are going to take, you can quickly build engagement and make the process meaningful.&nbsp;
When sharing employee engagement results in company-wide and team messaging, it&rsquo;s important to:
BE OPEN - Don&rsquo;t try to position results to be better or worse than they are. Talk openly about them. How you talk about survey results sets the tone for receiving continued honest employee feedback and their ideas for improvement. Being open builds trust.
BE CLEAR - Employee survey results can be difficult to understand. Be as clear and concise as possible when you share the results with employees. Avoid jargon and commentary that will create confusion.
DON&rsquo;T PLAY DETECTIVE - The responses should be anonymous. When reviewing employee survey results, the conversation should never turn into speculations about who said what. This diminishes the credibility and integrity of an anonymous survey process.
BE OBJECTIVE -&nbsp;When communicating survey results, do your best to play the role of an impartial observer. Communicate the findings without interspersing personal opinions. Employees might be unlikely to share opinions if they feel they are being judged.
&nbsp;

Knowing how to help your team engage and be satisfied at work is vital in creating a successful business. Use employee engagement surveys to gather honest, reliable feedback. This feedback and data can be used to take action and create an incredible workplace.

When a company decides to conduct an employee engagement survey, one of the first things up for discussion is using a third party company to help you carry out the survey.

Getting started with an engagement survey process

You&rsquo;ve completed a great survey, you&rsquo;ve got tons of awesome feedback. But what do you do now? How do you make the most of your engagement data?&nbsp;It goes without saying that you should be taking action from each survey, but it can be easier said than done.
Capturing employee engagement data is essential to knowing how satisfied and motivated your team is at work. Motivated employees are more likely to perform better at their job, in fact,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.gallup.com/workplace/285674/improve-employee-engagement-workplace.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">employees work 20% better when motivated</a>. So checking in with your employees regularly via surveys will ensure you&rsquo;re able to address issues as they arise and maintain an engaged workforce.
By not taking feedback seriously you risk losing valuable team members. Employees who don&rsquo;t feel comfortable providing upward feedback are&nbsp;<a href="https://en-gb.workplace.com/blog/employee-voice?t=b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">16%</a>&nbsp;less likely to stay in their organisation.
&nbsp;
<h3>Tell a story with the data</h3>
You can help create extra insight from your results by sharing them effectively. It can help people connect with them and understand the action that they need to take next. It&rsquo;s easy to get lost in the data - try not to! Consider key themes, quick wins and longer term big wins from each survey.
To get real value from the data that you&rsquo;ve collected, you have to dig through it and discover where you need to make changes. You need to locate both the strengths and weaknesses within your business.
1.Look for patterns - Are there areas in which your organisation scored low across the board? This is an obvious place to start. Identifying failings that are affecting employee happiness is key to moving the needle.
2.Dissect the data&nbsp;- At an absolute minimum, you need to be able to segment the data by department. Not all teams work the same, and not all teams have the same concerns. Data creates stories at both an individual and a team level, so be sure to consider both.
&nbsp;
<h3>Create a plan &amp; discuss</h3>
Once you&rsquo;ve identified patterns and drawn conclusions, it&rsquo;s time to talk to individuals one-on-one. Communication is at the heart of all successful businesses. It&rsquo;s important to talk about engagement and action planning regularly.&nbsp;
Is there time at board / leadership / management meetings to track progress and keep employee engagement high on the agenda? Not just the first meeting after a survey, but every one. Continue to share actions and progress with wider employee groups &amp; across the entire organisation. You can share the continual progress and show that you're keeping the conversation going.
For individual leaders, you may want to take the time to sit down with employees and&nbsp;discuss what&rsquo;s keeping them engaged at work, and what (if anything) is holding them back. Give your employees structure, help them plan for the future, and act on what they tell you so you don&rsquo;t lose their trust. Whilst were huge advocates for anonymous feedback, it&rsquo;s only one part of ensuring employees have a voice in your organisation, talking to employees one to one is another powerful method.&nbsp;
It can take some time for your action plan to gain traction in your business. In fact, on average it takes&nbsp;<a href="https://jamesclear.com/new-habit#:~:text=On%20average%2C%20it%20takes%20more,to%20form%20a%20new%20habit." target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">more than 2 months</a> before a new behaviour becomes automatic - 66 days to be exact. So being consistent with your action plan is the best way to get a new workplace habit to &lsquo;stick&rsquo;.
&nbsp;
<h3>Use segmentation to explore your data</h3>
Using segmentation in your survey can be a powerful way to gain additional insight from your data. Knowing specific teams or demographics who are less engaged than others can help to highlight retention risk &amp; drive specific actions.&nbsp;
You may find that there are key themes in smaller populations that emerge, which can have a huge impact on engagement overall when addressed. This can especially be true when addressing key themes for under-represented groups. It can have a positive impact on feelings of inclusion and belonging across the entire organisation.&nbsp;
There may be key areas, questions or themes that you might want to keep a close track on. You can build these into a dashboard or report that is regularly reviewed, so that progress can be monitored.&nbsp;&nbsp;
There is a word of caution when it comes to segmentation, it shouldn&rsquo;t come at the cost of anonymity. At Ten Space, we have an &ldquo;ethics&rdquo; filter built into our <a href="https://www.spacehr.co.uk/platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">platform</a>, this allows us to protect anonymity to create a safe space for employees to share feedback, but also to drill down to identify additional insights.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>Survey regularly</h3>
Employees feeling left out or uninformed could be a huge barrier to engagement. This is something that you&rsquo;ll be able to uncover through your data and that you should work on resolving. By surveying regularly, you stand a better chance of preventing problems that lead to resignations as you are building up patters and collecting regular data, in the moment it is happening.&nbsp;
By building up trends and themes over time, you can understand in great detail what employee engagement and culture is like in your organisation. Your teams are given a voice and when they see action coming from their feedback, they know their voice is being heard.
Creating great processes &amp; habits around employee feedback &amp; actions will pay off. This will come through in both survey completion rates and engagement levels.
&nbsp;
At Ten Space we offer quarterly surveys which allow teams to share their honest feedback anonymously. This gives leaders the chance to listen to their team, understand the problems in the organisation and work on changing things for the better. We also provide tools which help you with reporting. These enable you to take the feedback to your leaders quickly and effectively.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
We can help you check in on the engagement and wellbeing of your team through anonymous employee feedback.

It goes without saying that you should be taking action from each survey, but it can be easier said than done...

Employee engagement is crucial for accountancy firms as it directly impacts productivity, client satisfaction and firm reputation. Engaged employees are more likely to go the extra mile to understand client needs, provide tailored solutions and build long-term relationships. High levels of engagement reduce turnover rates, saving recruitment costs and preserving institutional knowledge.
                

Measure employee engagement in accountancy firms through regular surveys assessing factors like job satisfaction, work-life balance and alignment with firm values. Include questions on communication effectiveness, career development opportunities and recognition. Analyse survey results to identify areas for improvement and gauge overall engagement levels.

 A great employee engagement platform will give you the data, insight and feedback you need to enact real change in your organisation. Using a third-party platform adds an extra layer of trust. By segmenting the data from engagement surveys, you can uncover valuable insights specific to different employee groups. You can find where your problems are coming from and create targeted actions.

How it works

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is Employee Engagement?</h3>To put it in its simplest form: Employee engagement is the level of commitment, enthusiasm and dedication employees have towards their work and the organisation. Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself in employees reaching their full potential and delivering exceptional performance at work.</div>

Measuring employee engagement in your legal firm can be achieved through regular employee surveys. This first step is critical in gathering data that will help you make decisions. Ideally you should be surveying your business every month so you can quickly observe any drops in engagement and affect a plan quickly to resolve issues. Regular surveys provide the data you need to build a strategic engagement plan based on real information, not gut feeling.


Using an ‘engagement specific’ survey platform will help you gather data faster, more securely and more accurately. The right platform will also make it easier for people to submit their responses in a way that’s easy for them. You’ll be able to compare results over time to analyse trends. By segmenting the data from engagement surveys, you can uncover valuable insights specific to different employee groups. You can find where your problems are coming from and create targeted actions.

Once you’ve done your first survey, things will become instantly clearer. You’ll start to see the hotpots in your company by a variety of segmentation criteria such as team, location, gender, role and tenure. Open-ended feedback will often help provide a solution to the challenges you’re seeing. We’re always amazed how much insight a first survey provides to our customers from a high level right into the detail. Measuring consistent data-points over time will help gain a deep understanding of how to build your strategic plan.


Build your employee engagement strategy

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">High engagement means higher performance</h3>Employee engagement is a critical activity for professional services firms. Retaining your high performing people will help you build a high performing legal practice. 

But if you don’t have a way to measure engagement and understand when engagement is dropping, you run the risk of losing your top performers and a potential domino effect of top talent.</div>

<div><h3 class="heading pb-4">What is the Employee Engagement model?</h3>Some believe engagement is solely about having happy employees, but engagement goes beyond this. Enhanced employee engagement reveals itself when your employees reach their full potential and deliver exceptional performance at work.At Ten Space we use a simple model. It helps you explore engagement in your organisation. It shows you where you already excel and where you need to focus to improve.</div>

When your employees feel connected to the mission of the company, their engagement improves significantly. They find meaning and purpose in their work, knowing that their efforts contribute to something larger than themselves. They become more invested in the success of your organisation, leading to higher productivity, increased job satisfaction and a stronger sense of belonging within the team.

A great leader inspires and motivates their team members, earning their trust and respect. They provide clear direction, guidance, and support, allowing employees to perform their best and reach their full potential. A great leader creates a sense of empowerment, job satisfaction and loyalty among the team, leading to enhanced employee engagement and overall success.

 Employee engagement improves when your employees feel fulfilled in their role. When individuals find their work meaningful and aligned with their values, they are motivated to invest their time and energy into their work, going above and beyond to achieve goals. This positive mindset and attitude contribute to increased productivity, stronger teamwork and a happier work environment, ultimately enhancing overall employee engagement.

The highest-performing teams have one thing in common: psychologically safe workplaces. Psychologically safe workplaces promote healthier, more productive and more inclusive workforces. They also provide the environment in which innovation can thrive and people can perform at their best.

Ten Space is the platform to gather regular employee feedback. Every month, your employees are able to offer the feedback and insight you need to create positive change throughout your organisation.
