3. Engagement Follow-up Overview
Shared Accountability: Improving engagement requires both top down and bottom up activities.
Continuous Focus and Improvement: All leaders and team members play a role in supporting engagement throughout the entire year.
Top Down
System Executives and Sr. Leaders at each Business Unit address one or more “Key Driver” that aligns across the System or Business Unit
Bottom Up
Departments or work units (the people closest to the work) address concerns of their work group.
Follow-Up Resources Focus
We are HERE in the process.

4. Recommended First Step: Complete 9-Box Analysis
One way we look at engagement results at IU Health is to create a 9-Box chart
For the team member survey this includes both the Tier Designation and the Action Planning Readiness Score in a single integrated view.
For the provider survey this includes both the Engagement Score and the Alignment Score in a single integrated view.
The intersection of these two data points can be instructive in considering how a group might begin planning next steps after receiving engagement data.
Team Member 9-Box: For teams that fall within cells 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, some level of custom development and additional outside support from HR or Business Unit leadership may be needed to support the action planning process.
Provider 9-Box: For groups that fall within cells 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 some level of custom development and additional outside support from HR or practice group leadership may be needed to support the action planning process.

7. Recommended Recognition and Best Practice Sharing
Celebrate your team’s success and what is working well
What are your best practices?
What initiatives or activities have you implemented to improve engagement?
Partner with a group or area that could benefit from your expertise
If you would be willing to share your best practices or mentor another business unit within the organization please Andrea Russell, project manger – Organization Effectiveness :

8. Recommended Custom Development
Review survey comments and identify common or related themes
Analyze survey trends – i.e. low scoring items or areas of decline
Meet with your team to gain additional insights into the survey results
Review the Learning Institute Course Catalog to identify applicable leadership courses and offerings
Search for ‘Course Catalog’ within the My IU Health team portal
Partner with your human resources consultant or supervisor/manager to identify what additional tools and resources may be available to you

9. Recommended Leader Led Action Planning (SMART Action Planning)
SMART is an acronym that represents a framework for creating effective goals.
This methodology ensures goals are clear, attainable, and helps transform goals into an actionable plan for results. For optimal results goals should be:
Specific
Measurable
Attainable and Accountable
Realistic and Relevant
Time-bound
*SMART Action Planning worksheets are located within Engagement Basics via Jubi and the Engagement website under “Engagement Follow-up Activities.”

10. SMART Action Planning - Identifying Potential Activities
The first phase of the SMART process is brainstorming a list of potential improvement activities and initiatives.
This step is designed to evaluate the impact of suggested activities.
Possible Actions
WHAT ACTIONS DO WE THINK MIGHT MAKE AN IMPACT?
Consider actions to start doing, stop doing or continue doing if it is moving you closer to your ideal state.
IF WE took this action
THEN WE would get this result/benefit
WHICH OF THE IDENTIFED ACTIONS WOULD BE MOST IMPACTFUL?

11. SMART Action Planning - Prioritizing Potential Activities
The ‘PICK’ chart categorizes potential initiatives into quadrants to assess feasibility of implementation.
This standard decision making-tool provides a graphic display of all possible actions and the potential outcome.
A brief description of each quadrant is below:
Possible – items that are easy to implement and will have low impact; you might choose these items as a “quick win”
Implement or “just do it” - items that easy to implement and will have high impact
Challenge – items that have high impact but may be difficult to implement; you might choose to do it if you have enough time and resources and it is high priority
Kick – items that will be difficult to implement and will also have low impact

12. SMART Action Planning - Prioritizing Potential Activities
Assign each item from your ‘Possible Actions’ to a quadrant to identity what items should be implemented.
(Easy, High Impact) (Difficult, High Impact)
Impact of Initiative
Implement
Challenge
Possible
Kick
Ease of Implementation
(Easy, Low Impact) (Difficult, Low Impact)

13. SMART Action Planning - Taking SMART Action
Upon prioritizing and selecting potential initiatives activities, develop corresponding SMART goals.
WHAT ACTIONS ARE WE MOTIVATED TO TAKE IN ORDER TO REMOVE A BARRIER OR ADD SOMETHING THAT IS MISSING?
SPECIFIC
MEASURABLE
ACCOUNTABLE
REALISTIC
TIME-BOUND
What specific step or steps must be taken?
How will we know we are making progress or are complete?
Who is responsible for this task?
Can this task be completed with current resources and scheduling? If not,
what is the re
-scope?
When will this task begin? When will it be complete?
Begin on:

14. Tracking Progress
Visual Management or MDI Boards provide pictorial display of current improvement activities and progress.
Activities from the SMART process should be populated in the Visual Management chart and updated regularly

Ask Value Stream Steering Committee (VSSC) to prioritize an RIE about reviewing our work process. We cannot work the same way with fewer staff.
