A common mistake leaders make is assuming their employees do not care about how the organization is performing, particularly leaders that work for large organizations (1,000+ employees). Sharing operational performance data can have a powerful impact on engagement, productivity, and peer-to-peer accountability. When leaders present information to employees, they also have the opportunity to connect the team's day-to-day work to the company's overall mission.
Tip #4: Cascade Financial, Operational / Service, Human Capital, and Community Engagement Data To All Employees
Below are a few Fortune 100 companies that provide very detailed information on their operational performance, sustainability efforts, and community engagement activity to external stakeholders.

We encourage leaders at all-sized organizations to consider sharing financial, operational, human capital, and community engagement data with their employees on a routine basis.
DISCLAIMER: Any information shared with employees should be vetted and approved by senior executives before it is shared broadly. Employees should also be reminded of the organization's information privacy policy where appropriate.
