SPOTLIGHT ARTICLE

Leveraging Your Nonverbal Communication At Work

OfficeVibe: “First things first: Did you know that we are always communicating, even when we’re not using or words? This wordless language is called nonverbal communication, and it accounts for a heaping 60-75% of our communication. Meaning, it’s not the carefully selected words you chose to use, but the nonverbal cues you give off that matter most.

Nonverbal communication, what many call the second conversation, majorly influences how we’re perceived, respected and trusted. The tricky part is that we’re not always aware of the nonverbal cues we’re giving off. Not to worry – we’re going to help you get a good handle on it by improving your Self-Awareness as a leader and communicator.”

How People Analytics Can Help You Change Process, Culture, and Strategy

Harvard Business Review: “People analytics — defined as the use of data about human behavior, relationships and traits to make business decisions — helps to replace decision making based on anecdotal experience, hierarchy and risk avoidance with higher-quality decisions based on data analysis, prediction, and experimental research. In working with several dozen Fortune 500 companies with Microsoft’s Workplace Analytics division, we’ve observed companies using people analytics in three main ways to help understand and drive their transformation efforts.”

 

 

Employee Net Promoter Scores & Employee Engagement

CultureAmp: “The Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS) is a variant of the basic NPS, said to evaluate employee engagement. It asks only one question to gauge whether employees would recommend their place of work as a good place to work. Many companies now rely on it as a primary metric for their employee research. But, is the simplicity of a single-question metric worthwhile? Is it good business to rely on these single-question methods?”
