Predictive Engagement: From Feedback to Firepower
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Edan pulls apart the engagement survey playbook and asks a tough question: is it driving performance, or just collecting complaints?
As engagement increasingly moves into Talent functions, Edan explains why this shift matters and why Talent teams are uniquely positioned to turn engagement from a reactive survey into a predictive, strategic lever. He dives into the structural flaws of traditional models - fragmented action plans, unclear impact, weak data integration - and challenges the culture of venting without accountability.
Introducing the idea of Predictive Engagement, Edan outlines how organisations can align engagement to strategy, integrate it with performance and retention data, and build real predictive capability.
This isn’t about happiness scores. It’s about performance, ownership, and Workforce 5.0 thinking.
