Re: Generous listening
Thanks for the thought-provoking post Sonya! In my experience (as an employee but also a People Scientist), I think the best strategies for listening are simple ones. If managers have a coaching mindset, are trained to ask open-ended questions and pause to just listen and let their employee speak this alone can unravel a lot of the conversation that needs to happen to understand the employee experience. If this becomes a habit, what managers see in their employee survey results for their teams should never come as a surprise and that moment shouldn't feel like an 'event' with a heavy lift on taking action (as the manager would already be working with their employees to drive change). Curious to hear what others think!524Views1like0CommentsRe: Introductions
Hi everyone! My name is Avneeta Solanki and I work alongside Melissa on the Customer Empowerment Team as part of Viva People Science. I am focused on listening to what customers need, what problems they are trying to solve for and how we can empower them through scalable People Science content in Viva. The other half of my job entails working directly with customers as a Senior People Science Consultant, helping to improve the employee experience within their organizations. I am based in London, have two kids who keep me very active, and we are excited to do more travel together this year! I look forward to connecting with you all in the near future!5.4KViews3likes0Comments
