Hear the blind spots and understand how, through data and analytics, you can eliminate those blind spots.
Podcast Bullet points
- Employee Engagement through Empathy: The primary topic of the podcast "Business Blind Spots Exposed" is to foster a workplace culture where employees genuinely care about their work, largely facilitated through organizational empathy.
- The Limitations of KPIs: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are important but insufficient. The discussion advocates for "Key Behavior Indicators" (KBIs) as a more human-centric metric that can better capture the intangibles like employee morale, motivation, and culture.
- Employee Incentives for Referrals: The podcast suggests that employee referrals, specifically in sales, can be a powerful driver for success. However, this requires a work environment where employees feel validated and endorsed, instilling the confidence to ask for referrals.
- Importance of Authenticity and Open Communication: The conversation highlights the need for authentic interactions between managers and employees. Transparency and accountability are crucial for employee engagement and for tackling 'blind spots' within the company.
- Future Industry Trends: There's an increasing emphasis on human capital, even surpassing concerns like environmental regulations. This shift suggests that understanding and improving employee engagement will be increasingly critical for business success in the future.
