Ears, Ideas, & Award-Show Cheers ??

Hey there! I’ve got listening on the brain in a major way this week. In this edition of the Roundup, I'm sharing a great upcoming?webinar on employee ideas?and a helpful resource on how to build employee listening into your all-hands meetings. Plus, Delta’s CEO and 90,000 employees will soon be listening to a certain pro-athlete who’s been hired to advise on teamwork, onboarding, and employee experience. Let’s dive in!

Become an idea magnet ??

The British retailer Marks and Spencer generated over 10,000 ideas in just one year with a successful employee listening program. If you want to learn how, don’t miss their free webinar with Sideways 6 next Thursday, September 21.

High-profile hiring???

Delta’s newest employee? Tom Brady. The pro athlete will soon advise the airline’s CEO on teamwork, onboarding, and more. Hiring a celebrity to enhance internal branding is a bold move—one that experts say could pay off.

All hands on deck ??

Comms shouldn’t be a one-way street. Neither should your all-hands meetings. Using them as a listening opportunity boosts engagement and innovation. Here's how to integrate employee listening into your next all-hands.

Work? NBD, some say ??

New research suggests that 27% of UK employees ?do not see work as being very important in their lives—that's the highest percentage out of 24 countries surveyed. This definitely doesn't apply to Interact’s ultra-dedicated team!???
