Diagnosing What’s Behind Declining Engagement
Go deeper than scores — discover the “why” behind disengagement.
The Challenge
Engagement scores don’t tell the whole story.
When scores start to slip, organizations are often left navigating a maze of potential causes: burnout, weak leadership, lack of growth, or change fatigue. Without clarity on the root drivers, most efforts to re-engage employees are reactive — and often ineffective.
Our Philosophy
Measure what matters. Understand what’s hidden. Act on what’s true.
We believe the key to tackling disengagement lies in moving beyond dashboards to combine structured survey data with human sentiment, behavior signals, and organizational context. This empowers leaders with deep, directional insight — not just KPIs.
The Diagnostic Framework
A modular approach that brings analytics and empathy together:
-
Signal Mapping
-
Analyze engagement trends by function, level, and tenure.
-
Identify where disengagement is showing up first — and who it’s affecting most.
-
-
Voice Intelligence
-
Use NLP to mine open-ended feedback for recurring themes and tone.
-
Capture nuanced signals like frustration, confusion, or lack of belonging.
-
-
Contextual Layering
-
Overlay internal events (e.g., restructures, leadership changes) and external pressures (e.g., market uncertainty).
-
Map the “why now” behind the drop.
-
-
Root Cause Validation
-
Build hypotheses around burnout, poor recognition, or misaligned leadership.
-
Validate these using correlation and segmentation analytics.
-
What This Enables
-
Precision over assumptions — No more generic engagement strategies.
-
Tailored action plans — Targeted interventions aligned to real issues.
-
Stronger leadership alignment — Equip leaders with clear narratives and next steps.
-
Better retention outcomes — Identify and act before dissatisfaction turns into attrition.
The Takeaway
Disengagement isn’t just a metric problem — it’s a meaning problem.
With the right intelligence, organizations can decode disengagement early, act with clarity, and rebuild connection where it matters most.
