Listening@work 2025: Rethinking Employee Feedback for Real Impact

From Collection to Conversion: How to Design Listening That Drives Action, Alignment, and Results

Employee listening is broken and everyone knows it.

Outdated surveys. Vague questions. Feedback loops that go nowhere. Despite more tools than ever, most organizations are still collecting data instead of activating it.

In 2025, listening must evolve. It's no longer enough to ask how people feel, we need to understand what drives behavior, supports adoption, enables performance, and builds the culture we’re trying to lead.

The Listening@work Seminar is your tactical blueprint to redesign listening as a performance strategy.

We’ll explore how to:

  • Design smarter questions that connect to learning, performance, and capability-building
  • Close the feedback loop in ways that build trust and accountability, not survey fatigue
  • Turn signals into strategy by aligning listening data with EX, L&D, and business outcomes
  • Modernize your tech stack and measurement cycles to track what matters, when it matters
  • Drive leader buy-in and embed listening into the rhythms of work, not just HR workflows

You'll walk away with:

✅ A redesigned question framework aligned to your goals

✅ A listening maturity model to benchmark your organization

✅ A data-to-decision playbook to help you move from insight to action faster

✅ Real-world examples from EX leaders who’ve transformed their listening strategy

✅ Tools to engage managers, shift culture, and drive performance through feedback

This seminar is for leaders ready to stop listening for listening’s sake and start listening to lead.
