How do I set up an employee listening program?
The short answer
Decide what you are trying to learn, and from whom, before you choose frequency or a tool. Listening programs fail on measurement design, not cadence — resolve the constructs, the sampling, and the decisions each signal feeds, then choose the mechanics.
The problem underneath
Employee listening programs succeed or fail on measurement design; organizations default to frequency and tool decisions before resolving what they are trying to learn and from whom.
