Participate, Share, and Improve LHM Voices—2019 Employee Engagement Survey I n November, you will receive an email invitation to participate in one of our most important events of the year, the LHM Voices 2019 Employee Engagement Survey. We will ask you to share your perspectives, opinions, and ideas. Your feedback will help us to improve upon what’s working and what’s not. Your opportunity to take part in the survey begins on December 2 and runs through December 13. Your participation in the group-wide, biannual survey enables us to obtain valuable feedback and ideas that support our vision to be the best place in town to work and the best place in town to do business. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes and will measure employee engagement as well as other categories such as management, communications, training and development, and recognition and compensation. What’s different than in years past? Full-time employees will have the opportunity to participate via computer or a mobile device. Once the results are available, we will share them with leaders and employees as soon as possible. Managers will 4 be asked to complete measurable action plans, celebrating areas where we are strong, and addressing areas for improvement. Once again, we’ve partnered with Qualtrics to administer the confidential survey. Qualtrics will not share your individual responses, or any information that could identify your responses, with anyone at LHM. Survey results will be reported to LHM in aggregate and grouped with similar demographics. Our mission is to enrich lives, and that includes yours and those around you. You can trust that your answers will remain anonymous to management. We believe this is important so that you will be compelled to share what you really think. Why isn’t the survey completely anonymous? Anonymous surveys don’t collect information about LHM Winning Spirit September/October 2019 respondents, like what business they work for or their age, gender, or years with the company. If we want to compare how new employees feel versus tenured employees, or if we want to understand how well we’re recognizing employees in Idaho versus Arizona, we need a sense of the demographics. Otherwise, we get a lot of data that isn’t very useful in the spirit of continuous improvement. What can you do to prepare for the survey? Make sure your contact information is current in our system. We want as many employees as possible to take the survey, for the reasons explained above, and we can best reach you if your information is accurate. If you have questions, please talk to your People & Culture or Human Resources representative. Our mission is to enrich lives, and that includes yours and those around you. Please plan to participate, share, and help us improve with this year’s LHM Voices. To learn more, please visit LHMVoices.com. ◆
