“Over a period of six months, we saw annualized voluntary turnover drop from 56% to 10%. I attribute at least half of this improvement directly to executing on ideas offered in the PeopleThriver program. We estimate that this reduced our expenses related to turnover by a little over $900,000 (per year, which would result in at least a 20-times return on investment in the first year alone).”

The Problems With Doing Only An Annual Employee Engagement Survey
As you are probably aware, annual employee engagement surveys are a headache, and often have a negative impact on employee engagement.
There are 4 main reasons for this:
Most annual employee engagement surveys have a lot of questions.
This sucks up a lot of time for the HR team and other leaders. Also, it means months and months can go by before employees see any meaningful action in response to their feedback. This can actually lower employee engagement levels.
Many employee engagement surveys focus on the wrong variables, measuring things that are best addressed with perks or big policy changes, and which impact employee satisfaction, but not necessarily employee engagement.
You want engaged employees in your organization, not just satisfied employees.
Unfortunately, even when they do include questions about leaders, they usually fail to link results to simple, actionable behaviors.
Asking questions like this results in a tremendous amount of work, which is usually delegated to the HR team, and sucks up dozens or hundreds of work hours to figure out how to translate the results into an action plan that will help managers make a better impact on employee engagement.
Annual surveys often don’t provide useful data because feedback can be affected by so many factors outside your control, like a downturn in sales, an unexpected busy period, a negative local or global event, or even the weather.
It's better not to do a big annual survey if you can avoid it. It's better to do frequent short surveys so you can see trends over time. Trends provide much more useful, reliable data. If you need to do a big annual or twice per year survey, it's extremely important to augment those surveys with frequent pulse surveys.

Here’s How Our Solution Works
- There is decades of research by Gallup and others that tells us exactly what drives employee engagement.
- 70% of employee engagement is driven by how well managers are meeting the needs their direct reports have for thriving and being engaged at work.
- Fortunately, most of these needs are universal, meaning that just about everyone around the world in just about every type of organization has these needs.
- There are 14 of these universal needs that employees have for thriving and being engaged at work.
- Organizations with managers who consistently meet these 14 universal needs have 3-5 times higher levels of employee engagement than those who don’t.
- Four of these 14 universal needs are core needs that serve as excellent proxies for employee engagement.
These four core, universal needs are:
Realizing meaning at work
Being in an environment conducive to excellence
Being in an environment conducive to growth.
Being in an environment that positively impacts wellbeing
The other 10 universal needs are sub-needs of these 4 core needs.
Here’s a list that shows how this looks, with the core needs in bold and underlined.
- Excellence
- Having the Tools Required to Do One’s Job
- Doing Work That Leverages One’s Strengths
- Clarity of Expectations
- Wellbeing
- Appreciation / Recognition
- Feeling Cared for by One’s Direct Manager
- Trust
- Meaning
- Feeling Like One’s Opinion Matters / Is Heard
- Belonging
- Growth
- Autonomy
- Feedback
Once you know that the key to realizing high levels of employee engagement and retention is having managers who consistently meet these 14 universal needs, and that there are 4 core needs and 10 sub needs, the power of our approach becomes clear.
