๐ฟ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ,โ I shared four themes that consistently appear in
engagement surveys.
Today, weโre starting with the top answer on the board: the employee โ

As I said last week in โ ๐น๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก ๐๐๐๐๐๐ , ๐๐ฉ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐ ๐ก๐ฉ๐
๐ถ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฆ โ: Memorable experiences โpositive or negative โalmost
always trace back to a person.
That person is usually a manager.
According to ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ฉ , ๐๐% ๐จ๐ ๐๐ง๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ข๐๐ง๐๐ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐

That level of impact isnโt about big decisions.
Itโs built through consistent, everyday actions.

These arenโt extras โtheyโre the baseline.
At a minimum, hereโs what managers can do to strengthen
relationships.
No budget needed โjust time, attention, and consistency.
