In a sea of policy updates and engagement plans, a small note dropped anonymously into the HR feedback box:
“Why don’t we ever ask employees what they want before launching initiatives?”
It was easy to miss—just one sentence. But instead of dismissing it, HR paused and decided to rethink how ideas were rolled out. The next wellness program was co-created with employees. Participation tripled.
Moral: Sometimes the quietest feedback holds the loudest truth. Listen carefully—especially when it’s uncomfortable.
