?? To energize the modern workforce and unlock peak productivity, organizations need to adopt a human-centric approach.
?? A significant disconnect exists between high-level leaders and individual contributors regarding perceptions of change management and its overall impact.
?? While global satisfaction with transparency in performance evaluations remains steady at 81%, ???? Mexico notably lags behind with a considerably lower satisfaction rate of 67%.
?? Compensation has consistently emerged as the top factor in driving motivation and achieving success, particularly in larger enterprise companies, where 69% of employees prioritize it, according to a new interesting research published by monday.com in partnership with Qualtrics , using data from a global survey of 3,736 employees between August 23rd and September 14th, 2024.
? Satisfaction with transparency in senior management
Researchers found that there is a major disconnect between high-level leaders and individual contributors when it comes to perceptions of how change is managed and its overall impact. 45% of senior leaders believe it’s managed very well, but only 23% of individual contributors feel the same.
? Employee understanding of success metrics varies across company sizes
Researchers revealed that employee understanding of success metrics varies across company sizes, though all have the greatest clarity at team and department levels.
In larger companies, employees have the strongest grasp of how their personal success (55%), department-level success (59%), and company-wide success (54%) are measured. This clarity drops to just 43% on average at the largest enterprise companies.
? Key drivers of enhancing employee motivation
Researchers also observed that compensation emerged as the most frequently cited factor to boost motivation to achieve success across the board, particularly at the largest enterprise companies (69%).?
In smaller companies, employees particularly emphasize the need for a better understanding of how their roles contribute to business impact (30%)
?? In another research that we reviewed this week published by Culture Amp, the primary factors influencing employee motivation are deeply tied to effective leadership and opportunities for growth and development.
?? In conclusion, researchers emphasize that to effectively foster organizational transparency, companies should
?? Lead with the why
Transparency is about more than just openly sharing data – it s about explaining the reasoning behind decisions, even the tough ones. Whether it s restructuring or strategic pivots, help employees understand the long-term goals of these changes, like sustainability or growth, even if you cant share every detail.
?? Deliver a unified yet tailored message
Having a consistent message is crucial, but you also need to know how to adjust it to resonate with each audience. So, break it into smaller, digestible pieces for each group – from the VPs to managers and employees – to ensure it s relevant and useful at every level. For example, while executives may need a high-level understanding, individual contributors will also appreciate specific explanations about how changes will impact them.
?? ???? ???????????????? ????????: I found this research particularly compelling because it leverages a global dataset to reveal an important yet often understated truth: the more employees perceive transparency at all levels within their organization, the better they perform, resulting in a significant positive impact on business outcomes.
This highlights the crucial link between transparency and employee engagement, productivity, and trust. The researchers' recommendation to embrace a "leadership by Why" approach is truly inspiring.

9 小时前Always an insightful topic Nicolas BEHBAHANI. Increased transparency before initiating change management process is critical. It will bring the employees and management to be on the same page. Rightly pointed out that compensation is close to people's basic needs. If the management falters in ensuring transparency in compensation and rewards, people's morale and motivation will be adversely affected. It is my experience in profit and not for profit organization. Employee attrition is the major outcome of lack of transparency. In nutshell, the management has to ensure transparency in strategic planning, creating learning and growth opportunities, awarding promotions and career mobility and so on. Transparency is the essence of an organization's existence and a positive and productive work culture. Thanks once again.

13 小时前Organizational transparency is not only a question of ethics, it is one of the pillars for the development of a solid company culture. One of the keys to this transparency lies in communication and consistency with what is done, since clear communication, backed by consistent decisions, strengthens trust and the sense of belonging. True transparency not only informs, it empowers and motivates. Nicolas BEHBAHANI thank you for this insightful research.

14 小时前Great post Nicolas there is not a great deal that I can add that is not already highlighted in your post and by others in their comments. If you want to enhance confidence, especially when bringing about change, then it is important for people to know why change is needed, what change will look like and how the change will be conducted. Thank you so much for posting this interesting research.
