18、 adherence. This centralized approach has innate problems that can actually lead to stagnant or declining engagement. Such surveys are too broad or infrequent to pick up important topical or team-specific7/23/2022商务英语综合教程（四） 谭万文编著 PPT制作：Tan Wanwen21Paragraph 4 (Continued -1)issues. After the survey,

19、 senior management tends to push line supervisors to launch a burst of short-term initiatives. With HR leading the survey design, administration and interpretation, supervisors feel no ownership of the process.

At Rackspace, an
