We just had another employee engagement survey at work and it made me wonder how much impact these actually have. I’ve filled them out for years but it’s hard to point to any real changes that came from the feedback. Sometimes it feels like leadership wants the data but nothing actually shifts afterward. Have you ever seen meaningful change come out of engagement surveys at your company, or is it mostly just a formality?

I think they are a check box experiment only
... not important

I have seen companies mention the results of them but I've never really remembered anything improving beyond that.

Just doing the surveys tends to improve employee retention, because it makes people think that they are being listened to and that changes are coming. I have never seen an employee survey actually make a positive difference.

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.

How to not let this toxic co-worker not poison me any further?
