Solving the Employee Engagement Issue Part 2: Why People Analytics Won’t Go Far Enough. There is no Big Data algorithm for the human spirit.

Hi, I’m Lynne Brodie. I’ve helped leaders from top brands and corporations like you invent new products and services to generate multi-million dollar revenue streams because I understand what not only clients, but employees crave. I’ve also worked to transform cultures by working with leaders, employees and teams.

I’m a Business Intuitive and Professional Alchemist with a B.A. in Psychology, an ICF credentialed Coach and decades of experience working for Fortune 500 companies and worked with clients on 6 continents.  I’ve been told I’m a constellation of all the right talents, abilities and skills intersecting to create the Rx your company needs.

So, lets continue the talk about the need to improve employee engagement.  In part 1 we discussed flipping your business model to conscious capitalism.

Now we turn to more of what corporations think is the answer to solving employee engagement: People Analytics.  While data can be very helpful and steer the way forward in many areas there is NO Big Data algorithm for the human spirit.

My work is collaborating with the human spirit by putting people into their Flow Zone. It’s the squishy subject some corporations shy away from unless they have great understanding and are advanced enough to realize this is where the answer lies.

Employees need to be able to trust a company with them.  This area is lacking and has created the trust crisis that attributes to an employees lack of caring and engagement worldwide. A Gallup poll ranks worldwide employee engagement at only a staggering 15%.

Trust is the single most important thing between human beings whether it is in your personal or business life.  It’s also the single thing that once broken cannot be repaired.  I knew this when I entered the workforce in 1985.  I worked hard at building client relationships. I let them know I would never break their trust. I’d not only say, but also mean it and I earned their trust and their business.

Decades later, this is still one of my key values and ethics. I know that trust is based upon honesty, integrity and high ethics. 

It’s an important cornerstone to company culture and your company culture is your brand.

Trust is also a key value of clients. Just look at the trust crisis of your data and information you are seeing almost daily in the news.

What company is betraying your trust today and how does it make you, as their client, feel?

The trust crisis, as discussed at Davos this year, is growing and needs to make a huge pivot quickly by corporations to mend relationships with their employees and their clients.

As Peter Drucker, management guru says, ‘culture eats strategy for lunch.’

‘The trust and faith we have in each other and also our higher purpose and calling, this is to me is the most important thing. Everything else will flow from that. If you put yourself above others, then you really are at odds wit the future.’- Marc Benioff, Salesforce Founder and co-CEO as interviewed by Klaus Schwab at Davos on The Fifth Industrial Revolution (5IR).

What is your company’s culture? What is your highest value?

So how does your corporation plan to earn employees trust?

What is the Soul of Your Business? Is it trust, success or money?
