One challenge is the Tactical/Global approach by getting employee “buy in”. This is a great way to take the “pulse” of the employees. One way to do this is to conduct an employee survey that is easy to read and understand and translated if necessary. It needs to be made clear that the survey is non-threatening and confidential otherwise employees will either not fill it out, or answer the way in which they feel they are supposed to.
