Our internal survey has revealed the truth: it’s not money, benefits, or career. I can’t say for all companies, but it’s the corporate culture that makes people tick. The results we got were not a big surprise for us: Most respondents mentioned the total absence of discrimination at RISK; The second most popular response was that people trust their managers; Finally, the third thing in common for the majority of interviewees was the opportunity to get help from their superiors. For some teams, it may seem obvious and common, and I salute you for this. But it wasn’t about the responses that struck me the most. For the first time, we got replies from so many members of our organization. What did it say to me? You cannot overestimate the importance of a people-oriented approach in a company today. I’ve learned, again, that my team is the biggest treasure for RISK and me.

The challenges that are part of Gen Z at our workplaces. Gen Z finds it harder to work well for physical, mental, and practical reasons According to, the Mckinsey survey there are five factors that employed 18- to 24-year-old respondents are more or as likely to cite as having a major impact compared with respondents of every other age group: a hostile work environment, mental-health issues, access to transportation to and from work, physical issues, and an inability to share your full self at work. In reality, it becomes more challenging to create a proper working environment and make the stability of the workforce. Even the job descriptions is going to be modified upon their demands. And yes, there is still more to change. ✍

A report on my recent survey findings! Earning a living or living your passion? I was curious to understand the factors that truly drive employee satisfaction and commitment. By gathering responses on key motivators like career growth, financial stability, passion for the job, and work-life balance. I conducted a survey asking "what motivates you most at your current Job" with the key motivators stated above, the results helped me to gain more insights into what people value most in their work. The breakdown of responses: Financial Stability: 33% Career Growth Opportunities: 44% Passion for the Job: 15% Work-Life Balance: 7% The survey results reveal that Career Growth Opportunities (44%) and Financial Stability (33%) are the top motivators for employees, showing a strong preference for roles that support career advancement and provide financial stability. The result shows that while a stable income is essential to motivate employees, many employees also value the chance to progress and develop professionally on the role. Passion for the Job (15%) and Work-Life Balance (7%) were less prioritized, which shows that while employees appreciate meaningful work-life balance, they may be more focused on tangible outcomes like career advancement and financial stability. Through this survey, I gained valuable insight into what truly motivates employees. It's evident that while career advancement is a priority for employees, financial stability is also a crucial role in their commitment. Employees want to feel that their work is not only recognized with fair compensation but also that it contributes to their growth and future potential. Employees are driven to stay with organizations that not only support their growth but also offer competitive pay. They say money can’t buy happiness, but according to this survey, it sure helps with job satisfaction. And career growth? That's the cherry on top! ✨ Happy New Week 😁Remember, we’re motivated by growth and the value we bring. Iyanuoluwa Fadare

Having supported all aspects of the survey process throughout my career, I am very aware of the need to avoid survey fatigue. Survey fatigue can lead to low engagement and unhelpful data, so here are a few things to avoid: 🚫 Don’t Over-Survey: Limit survey frequency—quarterly or biannual is ideal. Too many surveys can feel overwhelming and reduce participation. ❌ Avoid Long Surveys: Keep them short and focused. Long surveys discourage completion and dilute valuable feedback. 🔄 Don’t Ignore Past Feedback: If previous feedback hasn’t been addressed, employees may feel unheard. Always communicate actions taken or share progress updates. ⚠️ Avoid Vague Questions: Be clear and specific with questions. Avoiding ambiguity ensures you get meaningful, actionable insights. Keeping surveys targeted and responsive builds trust and encourages thoughtful feedback. #employeeengagement #surveyfatigue

Inc Best Workplace? Maybe. That's what I thought when I saw the results. For the first time, we submitted Salesmsg to Inc. Magazine's Best Workplaces Award. We sent our team the Inc. survey, thinking that if the feedback came back as “good” or “great,” we might have a shot at getting featured. Why not? With fingers crossed, we submitted the survey. Gulp—then the results came back. I closed my eyes and opened the PDF. I’ve got to be honest, I didn't expect this... Based on our team’s responses, we received a score of 88.69 out of 100. Turns out, people genuinely enjoy working at Salesmsg! :) There is one “barely engaged employee,” but don't worry, I'm tracking them down! (Just kidding.) I’ve attached the results so you can see for yourself—warts and all. I don’t know if we won, but it would be pretty cool if we did. Either way, it's a win to know what we're doing right and where we can improve. --------------------------------------------- 🤜🏻 Like this? Drop a 👍🏻 below or ♻️ repost.
