Shooting with shotgun pellets

When it comes to customer retention, there are many approaches you can take. You can build customer loyalty through attractive loyalty schemes, excellent customer service, innovative customer experience journeys and bespoke offers.

Feedback is a gift. Any kind of feedback, whether positive or less positive. Yet it can be difficult to confront someone about less positive behaviour. After all, people aren’t always aware of their own behaviour, which can make the conversation awkward.

Employee satisfaction is evolving. And that’s a good thing. Put simply, salary and job title used to be the two most important factors when it came to employee satisfaction.

How do you keep your staff engaged?

Since the start of the pandemic, we have increasingly been working remotely, in a hybrid setup or sometimes entirely online. Digital meetings tend to be business-focused, leaving less room for personal conversation than before. Let alone for sharing tips and tricks. So how do we ensure that staff stay engaged?

For organisations, this means that retaining and engaging staff is more important than ever. Listening carefully on the shop floor plays a crucial role in this, because those who truly listen to their employees have a clear advantage over the competition.

“You’ll be receiving a satisfaction survey tomorrow. It would be great if you could give me a 9 or a 10, otherwise I’ll be in trouble.” That. That’s exactly why nobody takes the traditional NPS seriously anymore.

What if the annual performance review is mainly an HR affair?

Imagine that your MTO doesn’t just measure performance, but actually drives change. Senior management is involved, managers are taking action, and employees’ voices are being heard. Feedback then becomes the driving force behind your organisation.

Learn from the CIA how you’re sabotaging your own workplace

The CIA distributed a pamphlet among resistance fighters and civilians in occupied territories via soldiers: the ‘Simple Sabotage Field Manual’. In 32 pages, the CIA provided instructions on how they could weaken their country (i.e. the occupying power) by reducing productivity in the workplace.
