Microsoft has changed the way it evaluates employee satisfaction, and this mind shift is making waves.

Up until recently, the company conducted one lengthy, annual survey that tracked employee engagement. However, according to an article in Harvard Business Review*, “despite employee engagement scores that would seem to indicate that things were going well, it became clear that employees were struggling when we dived deeper into the responses.”
