If you regularly measure employee sentiment through real-time pulse surveys—especially during times of change—you can more accurately pinpoint reactions and cope with issues immediately. The results of these pulse surveys empower your leadership team to be more forthcoming, moving forward, earning the trust of employees and strengthening a transparent company culture.
If there is a strong link between employees and managers to the goals of the organization, the vision and values of the company will be embraced by all.
At the end of the day, the mindset shouldn’t be about how you can make tough decisions easier, but how you can make those decisions in a way that won’t negatively impact your employees or your organization’s objectives. Create a cooperative feedback culture, and when the time comes to make difficult decisions, you know that with your team’s insights in mind and trust in the leadership, the decision will be accepted willingly.

Recent years have witnessed a steady increase in the number of readers in China. With modern technologies transforming people’s reading habits, reading among Chinese people has taken on diverse forms. (30 words)
From my perspective, more people will take to reading with the emergence of diverse forms of reading, for which there are several reasons. On one hand, digital reading has a wide appeal for young people, which can spare them the trouble of carrying heavy books here and there. On the other hand, reading printed books in a traditional way is still favored by old people, most of whom are poor at using digital devices. In terms of forms of reading, people’s choices vary from person to person. As for me, I opt for digital reading because it is convenient for me to find resources anytime anywhere. Besides, exchanging views with the writer online about the book is easy and cosy. (120 words)
