Marrying data competency with real human conversations

Managers often tell us the hardest part of an employee survey isn’t actually the launch.

It is the moment the results land and everyone asks, “What now?”

This practical guide shows managers how to understand the numbers, choose the right forum to talk with employees, avoid common pitfalls and turn feedback into visible progress.

Why this report matters so much

Managers are judged on what happens after results. This report gives a simple, repeatable way to move from numbers to useful conversations and visible action.

• Cuts through noise: Shows managers how to read scores, spot patterns and use benchmarks without getting lost in detail.

• Builds confidence: Provides plain language prompts so managers can talk about results openly and avoid defensiveness.

• Improves trust: Encourages quick, transparent follow up so employees see progress between cycles.

• Works at scale: Offers formats that fit any team size, from one to ones to town halls and digital Q&A.

• Avoids common traps: Highlights small sample risks, overreacting to single comments and only sharing positives.

• Pairs with our platform: Aligns with People Insight reporting, comment analysis and Prism insights so interpretation and action sit in one place.

• Ready to use today: Managers can run a results conversation this week and agree two or three owned actions with dates.

Managers do not need to be analysts to lead good conversations. They need a simple way to read results, a sensible forum to talk and two or three actions with named owners and dates. This guide gives them that structure so employees see movement between cycles.
