How to Build Consensus and Secure Team Buy-in On Decisions

How to Build Consensus and Secure Team Buy-in On Decisions

Consensus is built through trust, transparency, and ensuring every voice carries weight in the conversation. The most effective technique I've found is framing decisions around shared goals, rather than just top-down directives. When people understand why a decision matters and how it connects to their own success, buy-in follows more naturally. One practical approach is what we call the "listen-first loop." Before finalizing a decision, managers are encouraged to gather input through one-on-one meetings, pulse surveys, or team discussions, and then reflect that feedback to the group. Even if not every idea makes it into the final plan, employees see their input reflected in the outcome. That sense of ownership transforms the dynamic from compliance to commitment. AI coaching has been a game-changer here. For example, we've seen managers use AI-driven prompts that guide them on how to ask better questions during team discussions ("What's one potential downside we might be overlooking?" or "How could this decision make your work easier or harder?"). By quickly surfacing diverse perspectives, the team feels heard, blind spots are addressed, and consensus is reached with less friction. To read more, click here.

The Missing Piece in Effective Employee Onboarding Processes
23 Sep, 2025

The Missing Piece in Effective Employee Onboarding Processes

It's no secret...poor onboarding leads to new hires being twice as likely to seek another opportunity, with 43% of managers losing their new hire during the first month. During the current turbulent candidate market, and increased pressure on retaining talent, falling down at the last hiring hurdle isn’t an option when it comes to the employee onboarding experience. So because time is critical, we won't bury the lead. It's that human element, that personalization that's missing from your process. The key here is to set your new employee on a path to creating lasting connections so they become passionate, productive team players. It essentially makes your onboarding process sticky. Why Improving Employee Onboarding is Important We all know that onboarding and training plays a critical role in a new hire's success and happiness. And good onboarding is especially important for remote employees, since they don't have as many opportunities to integrate organically into the company culture. According to BCG, employee onboarding is among the most influential factors when it comes to employee experience. Companies that have effective onboarding processes in place achieve 2.5x more revenue growth and 1.9x the profit margin compared to organizations with poor onboarding strategies. Here, we explore some of the key building blocks -- and often forgotten components -- to improve employee onboarding for remote employees. Keeping these things in mind, you can ensure smooth onboarding even when employees are remote. As a result, you'll help increase the organization's rate of retention, engagement, and productivity of your new hires. Improving Human Connection During Onboarding Translates into Organizational Success Dale Carnegie was on to something when he said, “When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures of emotion.” People are emotional. More than ever, they want a more personal, human work experience from their employers – and that happens when people connect and feel they belong. Organizations have to get more and more creative about how they can form multiple connections with new employees, or they risk feeling alienated and are more likely to leave. The digitization of the workplace can make people more isolated and lonely, so pre-boarding is a way to ensure inclusivity and connection-building happens before a person starts. In fact, connection is the backbone of an onboarding strategy that reduces new hire attrition, accelerates time-to-productivity, increases new hire productivity, fosters trust, drives engagement – and ultimately empowers the business to deliver better for customers. Coupled with a compelling employee experience strategy, such as assigning job-appropriate “ambassadors” and a “people-first” culture of compassion and caring, this personalized approach can continue through all an employee’s life stages Here are 10 ways to keep human connection front and center during employee onboarding and to help everyone settle into your organization with confidence — whether onsite or at home. 1. Put Video Conferencing at the Forefront No surprise, video conferencing apps gained immense popularity in spring 2020. Video conferencing platforms became a lifesaver for employers and employees, serving as a means to make face-to-face connections in the virtual work world. Instead of distributing training documentation and static, pre-recorded videos for remote employee training, employers could schedule a video onboarding training session that feels a lot like meeting in the company conference room. Plus, when onboarding, you have the chance to set expectations and make sure the employee knows that interactive, camera-on meetings will be the norm. With this approach, your employees can ask questions live and have them answered immediately among their co-workers. 2. Create Opportunities for Connection Amid COVID-19, many employees understandably experienced feelings of isolation. Create and foster pipelines for interaction, such as firing up virtual social groups, keeping those channels active, or encouraging a non-social media-centered buddy system where employees call, text or email one another. This reinforces a sense of belonging for remote employees. 3. Help Employees Manage Distractions Another facet telecommuting employees might not anticipate is the endless stream of distractions. Your virtual training tips might include strategies to help employees shut out distractions to give their work the necessary focus to get it done well and on time. At the least, encourage your employees to carve out an hour a day for remote training when they can give the material 100% of their attention. Some other tried and true tips to provide remote employees to reduce distractions:Create a schedule and stick to it Take a lunch hour and frequent breaks Get some outdoor time (if possible) Keep your workspace organized Turn off desktop and phone notifications Restrict time on your phone Establish ground rules with your family or roommates Set daily goals and objectives For more on helping employees remove distractions while working remotely, check out these tips.4. Invite Open Discussions on Training Questions You’re not training employees in a vacuum, and they aren’t learning in one, so keep an open line of communication to see how everything is going. Use your company intranet or another channel to solicit feedback. You can quickly and clearly clarify matters for everyone, thanks to an open forum for lively Q&A. 5. Run Online Polls for Feedback to Improve Employee Onboarding & Training When you want to gather data about remote training, run an online poll. You can provide a space for comments, questions and feedback. If you’re looking for numbers to guide your training, a poll is a quick and efficient way to get what you need. Ask questions about whether employees find the information engaging, clear, and meaningful to their daily work. This way, you're giving remote employees a way to be heard. 6. Empower Remote Employees to Become Self-Guided Learners With today’s online education and training opportunities, you can put the power of learning in your team members’ hands. Let employees know what you need from them, then allow them to explore their options. That doesn’t mean you set them loose without any guidance. Offer guideposts, such as resources your organization would use, or free access to training programs and professional online tutors from UK. Since workers already spend a great deal of time working remotely, it isn’t a stretch to approach learning similarly. Plus when people own when and how they learn, they tend to retain it better. 7. Create and Use Breakout Rooms If you want to schedule a mass training session for everyone before turning matters over to department managers and their respective teams, use breakout rooms to create several smaller sessions. With the right platform, everyone can easily switch to enjoy seamless strands of training relevant to their needs. 8. Offer Strong Training Visuals as Reminders In your video meetings, provide employees with strong visuals to help them understand the material, such as spreadsheets, slideshow presentations, infographics and videos that drive home your training points. About two-thirds of people are visual learners, and studies suggest that four in ten people respond better to visuals and text compared to text alone. Other research shows using visuals can help improve retention and learning by up to 400 percent, so make sure to include compelling visuals to enhance learning. 9. Provide On-Demand Training Options Inherent in remote employment is flexibility. There are times when employees can’t join a live video meeting or audio conference call, so ensure that they can catch up when they have time with on-demand options. Provide absent team members with the recorded session and any supplemental documents, spreadsheets or information they need to stay up to speed for the times they can’t make a virtual meeting in-person. 10. Focus on People Not Process to Improve Employee Onboarding: AI Coaching How your company communicates, enables meaningful collaboration, and supports relationship building for both onsite and remote employees usually ends up making or breaking your new hires’ remote onboarding experience. That's why it's critical to focus on people not process or paperwork during this process.    These critical elements are often overlooked during onboarding, but that's where you can employ certain technologies to help. For example, Humantelligence's Ask Aura surfaces emotional intelligence insights and tips directly into the tools your employees use every single day – like Outlook email and calendar, Microsoft Teams, Gmail, Google Calendar, Slack, Zoom, Webex, and more – so your employees can start to learn how to work with one another right out of the gate. This simple chatbot takes the guesswork out of how to better understand and effectively communicate with others so your new employees can focus on what matters most – and that’s becoming an impactful member of the team. In addition, be sure to spend time helping your new remote hires integrate into their team. Understanding how they compare in working styles and tendencies to both those with whom they work and their managers will help your new hire understand how best to contribute to the team, smooth the transition, collaborate more effectively, and accelerate productivity. Providing new hires with an AI coach during this period helps bridge the gap between information overload and real-time application. Instead of waiting for scheduled check-ins or sifting through manuals, employees can turn to AI for instant, contextual guidance, from clarifying company processes to navigating cultural nuances with their coworkers. This not only accelerates time-to-productivity but also reduces the anxiety that often comes with starting a new role. The result is a smoother transition, stronger engagement, and a sense of support that signals the company is invested in their success from day one. Resources to Improve Employee Onboarding We hope our remote onboarding and training ideas help you feel more confident about bringing new employees into the mix, even if they never or rarely step foot in your office. Today’s technology offers a bounty of options to welcome and engage new employees as well as help current employees cultivate a sense of belonging and connection with colleagues and, ultimately, your company.

From Exclusive Perk to Everyday Advantage: How AI Coaching Scales Talent Development for All

From Exclusive Perk to Everyday Advantage: How AI Coaching Scales Talent Development for All

For decades, leadership coaching has been treated like an executive privilege, reserved for the top 1–5% of employees, often those already in senior roles. The reason wasn’t a lack of belief in its impact. In fact, research from the International Coaching Federation shows that 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and communication skills. The barrier? Cost and scalability. One-on-one human coaching can cost thousands of dollars per participant and requires time, travel, and scheduling logistics. As a result, the vast majority of employees — especially frontline workers, early-career professionals, and middle managers — never get access to the same level of personalized development. But the workforce has changed. Employees expect the same on-demand, personalized experiences at work that they get from streaming platforms, e-commerce, and social media. Companies that fail to meet that expectation risk disengagement, turnover, and stalled performance. And according to Gallup, managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement. When the very people who drive team culture don’t get proper development, the effects cascade across the organization. The solution? AI-native coaching platforms like Ask Aura are shifting the economics of development, making it possible to deliver personalized coaching to 100% of your workforce, not just the top tier. The Limitations of Traditional L&D Programs Most organizations already invest heavily in learning and development (L&D). Yet the return on that investment is often inconsistent, for three key reasons:Limited Reach A high-quality human coach may only work with a handful of leaders each year. The rest of the workforce relies on workshops, e-learning modules, or annual performance reviews — none of which provide the real-time, personalized feedback that drives sustained behavior change. High Cost Executive coaching engagements often range from $5,000 to $15,000 per participant. Multiply that across hundreds or thousands of employees, and it quickly becomes financially unfeasible. Delayed Impact Even when traditional coaching is effective, it’s not always delivered in the “moment of need.” Employees might learn a skill in a workshop but fail to apply it because weeks or months pass before they face the relevant situation.Why AI Coaching Changes the Game AI coaching doesn’t replace the human element; it extends it. By combining behavioral science with AI-powered personalization, tools like Ask Aura deliver scalable, context-specific coaching inside the tools employees already use, such as email, Teams, or Slack. Here’s how:Personalized at Scale: Unlike one-size-fits-all courses, AI coaching adapts to an employee’s unique behaviors, motivators, and work style. The guidance one person receives will be different from what their colleague sees, even if they’re in the same role. Real-Time Delivery: Instead of waiting for a quarterly check-in, employees get coaching in the moment — whether it’s preparing for a difficult conversation, giving feedback, or collaborating on a cross-functional project. Cost-Effective Reach: Delivering human-grade insights via AI means organizations can offer development to everyone without multiplying costs.According to Deloitte, companies that invest in personalized learning see engagement jump by as much as 50%. AI coaching turns that potential into a scalable reality. Real Impact: From 1% to 100% In many large organizations, less than 5% of employees receive formal coaching in a given year. With AI coaching, companies are seeing dramatic shifts:10x–20x Increase in Reach — Making coaching available to everyone, from executives to individual contributors. More Frequent Touchpoints — Thousands of micro-coaching moments each month instead of sporadic workshops. Higher Engagement — Employees who feel seen and supported are more likely to stay, grow, and contribute at a higher level.It’s not just about quantity. The quality of coaching improves when it’s grounded in behavioral data and tailored to each person’s style. Employees recognize when advice “fits” them, making them far more likely to act on it. Beyond Skill-Building: Culture Transformation When coaching becomes democratized, it stops being just a development tool and starts becoming a culture driver.Shared Language — When everyone learns communication and collaboration skills in a consistent way, teams develop a common vocabulary that accelerates trust and productivity. Inclusive Development — Early-career employees, remote workers, and underrepresented groups gain access to resources previously reserved for a select few. Leadership Pipeline Growth — More employees are ready for advancement, strengthening succession planning and reducing external hiring costs.This cultural shift matters because, as McKinsey research shows, companies in the top quartile for organizational health are 2.2 times more likely to outperform on profitability. Integrating AI Coaching Into Your Existing L&D Strategy The beauty of AI-native platforms like Ask Aura is that they complement, not replace, your existing investments. Here’s how leading companies are doing it:Embedding in Daily Workflow: Coaching prompts appear inside the tools employees already use — no separate logins or scheduling required. Aligning with Organizational Goals: AI coaching supports existing leadership models, performance frameworks, and cultural initiatives/values, making change more cohesive. Tracking and Measuring Impact: With built-in analytics, organizations can see which teams are engaging with coaching, how behaviors are changing, and where additional support is needed.The Future: Coaching as a Core Employee Benefit In five years, we may look back on exclusive, executive-only coaching the same way we now view dial-up internet — a relic of a slower, less connected era. Forward-thinking organizations will use AI coaching to:Provide on-demand leadership guidance to every manager and employee, not just those at the top Support continuous learning cultures where feedback and development are part of the daily rhythm Align employee growth directly with business strategy and performance goalsThe question is no longer “Should we?” but “How fast can we scale this?”Final Thoughts Democratizing coaching is no longer a dream. Tt’s a necessity for organizations that want to retain talent, accelerate performance, and build resilient cultures. AI-native solutions like Ask Aura make it possible to deliver the right insight, to the right person, at the right moment — at scale. Because when every employee gets the kind of support once reserved for a privileged few, the whole organization wins.

From Promotion to Panic: Why People Leaders Are Set Up to Fail (And How to Fix It!)
20 Aug, 2025

From Promotion to Panic: Why People Leaders Are Set Up to Fail (And How to Fix It!)

Why It’s Time to Bet Big on Your People Leaders Let’s face it: middle managers have never had it tougher. They sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, people and performance, transformation and day-to-day reality. But too often, they’re overburdened, under-supported, and left to figure it all out on their own. New research shows that only 21% of global employees are engaged — and 70% of that engagement comes down to one thing: the manager. Meanwhile, 50% of middle managers are actively job hunting. If you’re not investing in your managers now, you’re betting against your own success. Let’s level-set on the state of leaders:Only 21% of global employees are engaged — a two-point drop in one year 70% of employee engagement is directly tied to managers 85% of new people leaders receive no formal training to become a new manager Less than half of all managers have received any form of development training Manager wellbeing is declining sharply — especially for under-35s and women 50% of managers are currently seeking or open to new rolesWhat it all comes down to is that most new managers lack formal training, and even many who are seasoned have minimal formal support. This had led to significant leadership development gaps, with training often inconsistently applied across leadership tiers. While alarming, the opportunity has never been greater, especially with AI now in the mix. Managers who can connect authentically with their people, embrace diverse ways of working, and flex their leadership style across generational lines will be the heroes of the modern workplace. The solution? Equip your managers with the practical strategies — and AI-powered tools — they need to thrive. Here are four strategies every organization should implement today. 1. Embrace Generational Intelligence Today’s teams include Gen Z grads and Baby Boomer veterans working side by side — often with clashing expectations. From feedback cadence to tech fluency and workplace values, each generation brings its own "operating system." Without generational fluency, misunderstandings multiply, and collaboration suffers. The insight: 62% of Gen Z say they struggle to communicate with older colleagues. Nearly half of managers admit difficulty adapting to Gen Z’s rapid-fire communication style and constant feedback loop. The opportunity: When leaders bridge generational gaps, teams see measurable benefits. Organizations that lean into generational diversity outperform peers on innovation, mentorship, and collaboration — with a 30% lift in innovation outcomes, per Visier’s Workforce Trends 2025 report. How to lead across generations:Use multiple channels (async + real-time) to meet people where they are. Offer timely, constructive feedback — Gen Z thrives on it. Acknowledge different values: Boomers may value loyalty, while Millennials seek purpose and Gen Z craves inclusion. Pair employees for reverse mentorship and knowledge exchange. Host "collaboration huddles" to surface working preferences and build shared norms.💡Bonus tip: Create "generation snapshots" during onboarding or team kickoff meetings so everyone better understands who they’re working with — and how to best connect. 2. Flex Leadership Across Cultures and Work Styles Whether it’s a fully remote software team in six time zones or a diverse on-site operations team, cultural and functional differences require managers to flex how they lead, communicate, and motivate. What works for one region or personality may not work for another. The insight: Culturally diverse teams outperform others by up to 35%, but that edge only appears when managers actively support inclusive practices. How to lead across cultures and dynamics:Learn how cultural norms influence communication and feedback (e.g., direct vs. indirect). Encourage team members to share how they prefer to collaborate — and build rituals around that. Consider time zone equity when scheduling meetings or assigning projects. Use visual or written async tools to balance real-time dominance. Align work styles with responsibilities: match strategic thinkers with planning tasks, and action-oriented folks with implementation.💡Bonus tip: Host "culture chats" or spotlight employee backgrounds in team meetings to build empathy and global understanding. 3. Build a Culture of Psychological Safety In a high-stakes, fast-changing environment, people stay quiet when they don’t feel safe. That silence costs companies — not just in innovation, but also in morale, retention, and even ethics. The insight: Google’s landmark study found psychological safety is the number one driver of effective teams. Grammarly’s 2024 report revealed that communication failures — often stemming from fear or confusion — cost U.S. businesses $1.2 trillion annually. How to build psychological safety:Normalize disagreement by actively encouraging constructive dissent. Use post-mortems not to assign blame, but to extract learnings. Make feedback a rhythm, not a surprise — try weekly "What’s one thing we could do better?" check-ins. Rotate facilitation roles in meetings so quieter team members have structured chances to lead. Recognize vulnerability: praise those who share challenges, not just wins.💡Bonus tip: Introduce a team "safe word" or signal that allows anyone to flag when conversations become unproductive or intimidating. 4. Support Managers with AI Coaching Great managers personalize their leadership to every team member. But when you're managing a dozen — or hundreds — of employees across functions and locations, that level of tailored support feels impossible. Traditional training can’t keep up. The insight: 74% of managers say they lack tools to adapt their leadership style across generational, cultural, and situational lines. AI coaching fills the gap — at scale, in real time, without more meetings. How AI coaching helps managers lead better:Offers real-time tips based on team members’ behavioral and motivational profiles. Prepares leaders for 1:1s, team meetings, and conflict resolution with contextual insights. Helps reframe emails, Slack messages, or feedback based on audience communication styles. Works inside existing tools like Outlook, Zoom, MS Teams, and Slack — no extra logins. Personalizes leadership development without the $30,000/year cost of an executive coach.💡Bonus tip: Use AI coaching to prep for high-stakes interactions — like performance reviews or onboarding — by running through scenarios and generating talking points tailored to each employee’s style. The Takeaway: Support the Middle, Strengthen the Whole Managers are your organization’s multipliers. When they have the tools to lead across generations, cultures, and work styles — and the support to build psychologically safe, high-performing teams — everyone wins. Now is the time to act. Give your managers the strategies and tools to lead with confidence, and you’ll unlock better engagement, stronger collaboration, and more resilient teams across the board. 👉 Want to learn more?
