Leverage Staff Feedback to Improve Management Performance

IT staff are dissatisfied with certain aspects of how the organization is managed; there’s a possible disconnect between management’s view of the department and what staff think of the issues.
Staff feedback is not collected, or it is collected in an unorganized and ad-hoc manner. Worse, feedback is not analyzed and is not taken into account when pursuing organizational improvements.
Management inaction on staff feedback leads to frustration, declining morale, and higher turnover.
