Let's talk about survey fatigue and functional diversity in the workplace with Dr. Bonnie Green
When an organization fails to recognize and appreciate the importance of functional diversity in the workplace, it can lead to the inability to innovate, drive sales, and improve marketing. Does your organizational culture assume innocence or guilt? Competence or incompetence?
On this week’s episode, Dr. Bonnie Green shares how to establish an environment that understands the value of functional diversity, as well as what lessons we can learn from NASA’s failed Challenger launch in 1986 relating to the acceptance of diversity of thought.
Not only do we chat about lessons learned, we get to the bottom of how survey fatigue, which is most often associated with having too many surveys or the length of surveys, is likely caused by something else your organization isn’t considering: closing the gap between feedback and action, and face validity.
