Best Practices for Driving Accountability

Set Expectations

Make sure your managers know what you expect of them. For example:

  • Within 2 weeks of receiving reporting access, log in and review your results.
  • Within 1 month of receiving reporting access, meet with your team to discuss the results.
  • Within 2 months of receiving reporting access, enter 2-3 commitments into the Commitment portion of the tool.

Equip Managers

Hold trainings for managers to attend on how to use the tool as well as how to discuss the results with their team. Here are a few resources to help you out:

Explain the Why

Employees who saw action following a survey were 12 times more likely to be engaged the following year than those who didn’t experience follow-up.

  • There is a shared sense of ownership when team members can hear results firsthand and see the progress being made.
  • Each team member is an active participant of improving the culture for their team.
