In the early days, you might not have any comparisons to share, however, you could use employee quotes to evidence how your people were involved in the transition and how well they understand EO and their roles – ideally a range; leaders, employee owners and if you are there yet anyone in EO roles.
As time goes on, you may have emerging trends or evidence of the impacts employees (or employee voice) are supporting in your business from performance through to satisfaction levels – insights from employee surveys, satisfaction or engagement score increases, are some of the ways to evidence this.
Retention and recruitment are another great evidence point that shows the impact of your growing EO culture that is building resilience in the business, such as a decrease in employee churn or increase in employee tenure.
Or, has your EO been embedded into your recruitment attracting the people and skills needed to help your business thrive, or indeed supporting more development and progression of employee owners within the business?
Plus, don’t forget your other stakeholders, being able to evidence how your EO has driven positive impacts for your customers, suppliers and others business stakeholders since becoming EO is likely to take you closer to a win - you may have testimonials, customer satisfaction scores or service improvements that have delivered positive impacts.
