Empowering workers

Get people on board.

Eliminate barriers to participation.

Retain it unidentified.

Be appropriate and translucent.

Make the information reachable.

Use the data.

4 Enthusiasm from leadership goes a long way in garnering support at every level of the organization.

Elimination of barriers leads that people could take the survey of every place they want.

Anonymity is critical for employees to feel like they can be honest. Tesla communicated upfront that surveys would be anonymous and carried this through later data presentation and analysis.

Tesla sent participation updates while the survey was active in order to drive participation. It then released results organization-wide within 2 weeks of closing the survey along with guidance as to how to interpret the data.

Tesla created a dashboard to present the data in an easily digestible format (eg, mean answer, response rate, score distribution, and delta from company average), which allowed employees to take a surface view or a deep dive into the data.

Tesla required every action planning session to finish with one ‘action’ – one change that the team would make based on its analysis and discussion of the Tesla360 results. Each manager recorded their team’s ‘action’ so that they could track progress toward their stated goal and so Tesla could assess where similar ‘actions’ were concentrated or if there were any particular ‘actions’ trending throughout the company.
