When employers are too focused on measuring employee engagement, deliberate workplace culture strategies tend to fall by the wayside.
Walking the Talk recently attended the HRD Summit in Amsterdam, where Executive Directors Jerome Parisse-Brassens and Amanda Fajak delivered a presentation on how to use culture measurement to drive sustainable change, to a room of Europe's leading HR Directors.
Walking the Talk will be presenting and exhibiting at the forthcoming HRD Summit on 22nd - 23rd May at the RAI in Amsterdam.

Consequently, it can be hard to determine whether results are truly reflective of the organisation’s engagement or if they have been skewed by a recent organisational event, such as downsizing.
