Get Honest Employee Feeback... Stop Offering Your Open Door

As a business sparring partner at Brave Cave, I acknowledge a common challenge: the "Open Door Policy" often feels more like a concept than an invitation. Fear not, as the  Employee Perception Survey (EPS) is here to inject better communication and execution into this classic idea. Get ready to enhance your leadership with a touch of humility.

The "Gap to 10" Bout:

  • Say goodbye to the conventional 1 to 10 scale; we're transforming it into a thrilling boxing match! Each number represents a round in the quest to uncover the hidden treasure of employee satisfaction. A 5? That's just a jab. Consult your team on bridging the gap to 10, and witness the magic unfold. No gap is too big or small; we're trying to knock them all out.

Unmasking Anonymity:

  • While anonymous feedback may be enticing, it's time to reintroduce transparency. Disclosing the identities behind constructive criticism transforms obscure numbers into a harmonious ensemble of actionable insights. In this survey, understanding your trainers is crucial for becoming the best you.

Dip Your Toes, Don't Take the Plunge:

  • Building trust takes time, like a seasoned boxer perfecting their craft. If your team is hesitant, suggest they dip their toes into feedback waters with some light-hearted commentary. Once they see you can handle a well-timed jab, they might dive into the ring of honesty with gusto.

The Critique Championship:

  • Picture being the star of a championship match, with all the commentary centered around your leadership. If that thought makes you wince, fear not – it's a sign you might not be ready for the EPS spotlight. But for those brave enough to weather the storm of constructive feedback, get ready for a championship-worthy applause.

The EPS survey is not just about numbers; it's real open communication, growth, and a few laughs along the way. Leaders, it's time to step into the ring, close those gaps, and turn your workplace into a boxing arena of improvement. After all, who said leadership couldn't be both a performance and a bout?

Let the EPS revolution commence! Embrace the discomfort, navigate the challenges, and transform your leadership style into a knockout combination of transparency and advancement. The spotlight awaits. Knock 'em out!
