It’s up to you as a leader to keep tabs on engagement levels in your team. Enter, the engagement survey. You’ve got three options: <ul> <li>Hire a fancy consultancy, pay big money, and get the consultants to analyze it all for you</li> <li>Go cheap and use survey monkey and work out what the answers mean on your own</li> <li>Find out what your team thinks for free (apart from some pizza or a plate of muffins) by asking them</li> </ul> The free approach, though quick and dirty, will get you some answers fast. Here is how to do it. <h1>Step One — Tell them what you are going to do in advance.</h1> There is no merit in springing this type of exercise on a team, plus you want them to arrive at the meeting prepared. Tell the team you are setting up a meeting to work on engagement, but there is no hidden agenda. You just want to improve engagement generally. Send the calendar invites for a time when everyone can attend, or you’ll get all sorts of excuses. Make sure you book a room with a whiteboard. <a href="https://medium.datadriveninvestor.com/how-to-do-a-free-team-engagement-survey-in-30-minutes-find-out-what-your-peeps-really-think-if-5535d4c608f1">Read More</a>
