How the employees in your organisation really doing? We often visit organisations where some leaders are thoroughly examining this and others have far less attention for this. That is a shame. Especially since almost every leader will call themselves ‘people focussed’. That’s why we think this should be a topic for every leader.
After noting the big difference in this area, we hear the call for standardizes questions. Which sends chills down the spines of others.
We at Fresh Habits believe in the golden mean. We suggest you determine the themes, without connecting mandatory questions. Matters that should be discussed, without stating how. But which themes? We have created a simple model to assist. Freedom, Happiness, Health and Relevance. In the boxes you’ll find example questions, however there are 1001 ways to talk about it. What we see is that these themes are considered important, but are often forgotten in the daily rat race. Nevertheless, it is very good and useful to regularly make time for it.
By using this model, important matters will be promoted to conversation topics. In addition it offers support for those leaders who like standard question and it offers freedom to those who want to follow a less standardized approach.
