If you put off doing the gardening, the garden doesn’t stop growing.
It just grows in ways you hadn’t planned for.
“We’re not going to do any employee experience stuff until after the survey/change/org redesign [𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘳𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦]”
I’ve got some news for you:
You ARE doing employee experience stuff.
Employees don’t stop experiencing just because a process, policy or programme is paused.
Experience is not just the things that you do intentionally.
It’s also the things you don’t do.
If you put off the gardening, the garden doesn’t stop growing.
It just doesn’t grow always as you intended…
What messages are you sending?
What culture are you nurturing unintentionally?
