Panel | Measuring the intangible: using data to understand culture, collaboration & psychological safety
Culture matters - but most organizations measure it poorly and act on it inconsistently. This panel explores how to move beyond annual engagement surveys to using data to genuinely understand organizational health, collaboration patterns, and psychological safety. Discover how engagement analytics, sentiment analysis, and organizational network analysis reveal what's really driving (or breaking) your culture. Key Takeaways: - Making the intangible measurable - explore how to define meaningful metrics and measurement frameworks for concepts like culture, trust, belonging, and psychological safety without oversimplifying them. - Combining data to reveal the bigger picture - learn how surveys, sentiment analysis, behavioral data, and organizational network analysis can be combined to understand patterns that traditional engagement metrics may miss. - Turning measurement into meaningful action - use data to identify the factors influencing organizational health, evaluate interventions, and give leaders evidence they can use to improve culture and employee experience.
