Developing An Engaged Employee Culture [Webinar]

Engagedly has recently begun hosting webinars. We hope to cover a range of topics related to performance management and our application. On 13th October, we hosted the webinar, Developing an Engaged Employee Culture, which was presented by Garrett Wilson, MS, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, Director of Talent and Culture, ReliaMax. You can listen to the webinar here.

This article will provide you with a brief overview of the contents of the webinar. However, we recommend you listen to the webinar as it delves more deeply into the topic.


Employee engagement is HR’s newest buzzword. You see countless articles written about, people talking about and more important, companies trying to adopt it.

But with disengagement costing US employers $450 – $500 billion and only 32% of employees being actively engaged, it is clear that employee engagement is not just a simple over-night fix.

For company like ReliaMax, with employees located across seven states and being able to do business in 49 of the 50 states, one can only imagine how big of a role regulatory compliances play, especially since different states have different compliance rules. And in addition to all of this, ReliaMax is part of the banking and student loan servicing industry, an industry knows for following rules to the t.

Walking the line between meeting compliances and coming across as a healthy workplace for both current and future employees is understandably, not an easy job.

But according to Wilson, instead of being alarmed by regulatory authorities, what one needs to do is ask questions. Asking questions and getting on board with the regulators makes it easy not only to adhere to compliances, but to also maintain a work culture that employees like and want to be a part of.

It is also important to remember that engagement in an organization does not fall on the HR team alone. It’s a company wide team effort that everybody needs to take part in.

And if you want the entire organization onboard, you have to sell it to them on terms they understand. Assuming that everybody automatically understands why engagement is important could do more harm than good.

In addition to this, it is also important to remember, you cannot win at everything. Not everybody is going to get onboard and nor should you expect 100% approval. Aim for a more realistic figure when it comes to adoption stick to that.

Unlike other companies which can afford to do away with performance reviews, the same does not hold true for ReliaMax or other companies in highly regulated industries. In fact, industry regulations require employee performance to be reviewed at least annually.

Everybody knows that performance reviews are a good tool. But getting people to use it, to go through the motions, to ensure that everyone gets a fair deal can be very exhausting if you do not have a process for it or a tool that can help.

For ReliaMax, that tool was Engagedly. Since Engagedly is a suite of applications, not only did it provide ReliaMax with the ability to hold frequent performance reviews with the performance module, it also allowed them to utilize the goals and the multirater feedback module.

Since ReliaMax is spread out over seven states, Engagedly also gave employees the opportunity to log in frequently and use the social module to communicate!

It is a textbook example of an application being the right choice for an organization.

7 Steps To Building A Feedback-Driven Culture [Webinar]

Engagedly has recently begun hosting webinars on the website BrightTALK. We hope to cover a range of topics related to performance management and our application. On 27th September, we hosted our first webinar, 7 Steps To Building A Feedback-Driven Culture, presented by Aaron Adams, Partner of HR Alignment and Strategy at Engagedly. You can listen to the webinar here.

This article will provide you with a brief overview of the contents of the webinar. However, we recommend you listen to the webinar as it delves more deeply into the topic.


Numerous studies and articles have shown the importance of feedback. The right kind of feedback acts as a revitalizing tonic, giving employees and managers alike a boost of confidence or alternatively a timely course-correction. But when feedback exists by itself, it can be hard to get others to adopt it or see its benefits. However, when it’s part of organizational culture, it becomes easier to get everyone aboard.

There are numerous benefits to building a feedback-driven culture. They include increased engagement and improved performance. Not only is feedback beneficial for employees, but it benefits the organization as well. In essence, creating a feedback-driven culture is in everyone’s best interests.

So how does the 7 step process of building a feedback-driven culture work?

Culture

In order to build a feedback culture, it is important to gauge and assess the culture that already exists in your organization. By assessing the culture that already exists, it becomes easier to get a better grasp of what needs to be done.

Choosing The Right Feedback Tools 

Once you’ve got the culture portion figured, you need to decide what kind of feedback tools you want to utilize. There are certain factors that are important for you to consider  like the ease of use, the implementation process, how it matches with the way work is done, and selecting the tool that best aligns with the culture of the organization.  

Implementing Feedback Tools

Once you have chosen your feedback tools, the next thing you need to do is set up the tools. Setting up feedback tools is not just about configuring and integrating the tools. It also deals with user adoption, training users to use the tool, providing additional resources and support.

Setting Up A Feedback Framework

The success of a feedback process has a lot to do with how feedback is framed. In order to maximize the power of feedback, there are two things that need to happen. First of all, feedback needs to be meaningful. And secondly, feedback should focus on people’s strengths.

Structuring Feedback 

Once feedback tools have been implemented and a feedback framework has been implemented, people have to be taught how to give feedback (be it with a feedback tool, or just the act of giving feedback). In addition to teaching, feedback also needs to be practiced. We tend to adopt and model the behaviors that we see others using, especially those modeled by leaders. When you see people giving and receiving feedback frequently and making a habit of it, it becomes easier to do it yourself, so it’s important to deliberately practice giving feedback.

Tracking 

To know how the feedback tool is doing, and how many people are using it, you need to come up with a set of metrics and behaviors that you would ideally like to see it. You can then use this is as a yardstick to measure the success of the tool and note how much progress is being made.

Rework

The final step in the cycle is where you need to critically evaluate the entire process. Take note of what works. Take note of what does not work. You will find that there are certain processes you need to rework or reframe. When you’re able to identify what works it provides you with an opportunity to replicate the good and leverage internal champions to promote/reinforce your feedback-driven culture.
