Employees who feel their voice is heard are 4.6 times more likely to feel empowered to do the best job (Forbes)

Recommendations

With just a little willpower and active listening, you can solve a lot of things. This is precisely a skill that should be very important to any leader. Therefore, put listening at the top of your daily priorities. The trap that leaders often fall into is being unfamiliar with assertive communication. Therefore, actively listen, do not interfere, and do not interrupt the employee while sharing information/opinion with you.

Quick win ideas for an action plan:

Before determining the action measures hold a meeting with the team where you will exchange ideas on how to improve dimensions/statements that don't have such good results.

Strategic initiative ideas:

Compare employee engagement survey results before and after action measures, take the time and analyze the results by dimensions. Answer questions such as, which measures yielded results, which did not, and why? Continuous work always gives better results.
