“Engagement follows when people feel seen, not just surveyed.”

That’s from Mann at Zinc, and it’s one of the best things we’ve heard in our five years of working in employee engagement.

For our blog this month, we asked 4 people leaders at the top of their game to share what they’ve seen successfully drive employee engagement.

Simple, no-corporate-jargon, actionable ideas that are sure to work and not overwhelm you (or break the bank).

Thank you so so much to:
John Johnston @ IKEA
Luca Zingale @ Innocent Drinks
Sophie Mann @ Zinc
Katelyn Hilburn @ Process Street

Drop the insight that resonated most with you in the comments. We’d love to know!
And if there’s a question you’d like us to ask people leaders in our next blog, tell us below.

Something we hear a lot from people leaders:
“We care about engagement, and we’re doing the surveys, planning the socials, checking in with managers… but it still feels hard to know what’s actually working.”

And honestly, that makes sense!
People teams are carrying a LOT right now.

They’re being asked to build connections across remote, hybrid, fast-growing teams. To support managers who are stretched. To create culture when free time is rare and budgets are tight.

But over the last 5 years, we’ve seen that the companies making real progress aren’t the ones with endless resources...

They’re the ones acting clearly, compassionately and consistently.

This is exactly what we heard when we asked HR leaders from IKEA, Innocent Drinks, Zinc and Process Street what they’ve seen work within their teams.

Honest lessons from the people living it every day.

A huge thank you to our brilliant collaborators:
John Johnston @ IKEA
Luca Zingale @ Innocent Drinks
Sophie Mann @ Zinc
Katelyn Hilburn @ Process Street
