Next Generation Employee Engagement; T.H. Easter Consulting Welcomes Jean C. Wood, Ph.D.

According to Gallup’s State of the American Workplace Report, 70 percent of employees feel disconnected from the work they’re doing, making employee engagement a strategic business priority. The fact is, cultivating strong employee engagement results in high performing organizations, and we work with clients in the most highly competitive industries to help them achieve even greater levels of engagement.

We uncovered a gap in the industry – organizations are using off-the-shelf employee engagement surveys, but need guidance in interpreting the data and turning the results into an actionable plan to achieve real business outcomes.

We’re taking our employee engagement practice to the next level.
We’re delighted to have Jean C. Wood, Ph.D. join our team to lead our employee engagement practice. The T.H. Easter Consulting employee engagement practice features Gallup Q12 as our flagship questionnaire, and delivers finely honed survey methodology, analysis, data interpretation, and implementation.

Our employee engagement practice features a suite of complementary business services.

• Survey analysis and data interpretation for Gallup Q12, Top Workplaces, Best Workplaces and Glassdoor
• Outcome strategy and planning
• Professional development planning
• Diversity program evaluation and planning
• Communications strategy and planning
• Executive coaching
• Executive search

With more than 20 years of experience in research and operations leadership, Wood is widely recognized for activating successful employee engagement programming that cultivates ascendant leadership. Wood started her career as a research associate at a top 10 global social science research firm, Abt Associates. While at Abt Associates, she managed the development of an in-house research department that featured original survey design, data collection and analysis. Similar to Gallup Q12 and Best Places to Work survey methodology, Wood’s research process was developed to provide insight into employee preferences, perceptions and behaviors on an ongoing basis. Wood holds a Ph.D. in economics from Boston College and a B.A. in math and economics from Simmons College.

Please join us in welcoming Jean to the T.H. Easter Consulting team.
