Show Notes

Culture Change Paradoxes Podcast Series, Episode 2.

With Onefish expert on employee engagement and experience, Tracee Finch.

What to do when you know that employees will see straight through being “engaged” by the business?

You want to proactively find ways to engage people. Equally you want to allow employees to engage authentically for themselves. How do you navigate the path between driving an engagement agenda vs creating the conditions for engagement and allowing people to engage, should they wish to? Push vs pull. Centrally powered vs employee driven. Ooof, it’s tricky.

This podcast is for people who work on employee engagement and are looking for a much richer understanding of the complexity and subtlety of of engaging employees.
