Employees are sick and tired of ‘engagement surveys’ at work

A recent article discusses the growing frustration among employees towards “engagement surveys” in the workplace. These surveys, intended to measure employee satisfaction and commitment, have become a common practice in many companies. However, critics argue that they are often poorly executed, leading to a lack of trust and genuine engagement from employees. The surveys are seen as a box-ticking exercise, with little action taken based on the feedback provided. This has resulted in employees feeling disengaged, undervalued, and skeptical about the true intentions behind these surveys. The article suggests that for engagement surveys to be effective, they must be part of a broader culture of transparency, two-way communication, and actionable change.
