From Feedback to Action

SpeakUp does not end with the survey.
The next phase is all about discussing results together and turning feedback into meaningful actions that improve our workplace.

As of 21 October, all people leaders received access to their team’s results in the Gallup Access platform.
We expect all managers to plan a team session in the coming weeks to review results together and build meaningful action plans as a team.

How the Process Works -
Our Engagement Journey

Phase 1: Survey (finished)

10-27 September 2026

Employees have completed the SpeakUp survey and shared their feedback.

Phase 2: Data Analysis (finished)

October

Gallup has securely processed all survey responses and prepared grouped team reports. Managers now have access to their team’s results.

Phase 3: Team Conversations & Action PlANNING (current phase)

21 October - December

Managers receive grouped reports and discuss with their teams:

  • Key strengths

  • Areas for improvement

  • Priorities for action

by the end of 2026 managers submit the action plans of their teams.

Phase 4: FOLLOW UP & PROGRESS

Throughout the year

Teams work on their selected action plans and track progress.

NExt Steps to take as a people leader

Step 1: Prepare

Before the Team Conversation

  • Review results in Gallup Access: reflect systematically on overall results, strengths, opportunities, surprises and possible quick wins. Use this worksheet to help you interpret your survey results: How can you systematically reflect on your results

  • Prepare a high-level overview of the results for your session

  • Plan the team session: involve the entire team and share the results in advance

  • Reach out to engagement champions for support if needed

In our SpeakUp journey we are now in phase 3: team conversations & action planning. The value of the survey now depends on what people leaders do next with the results.

To help you, we have created an overview of the next steps to take as a people leader
(you can also find these steps in the SpeakUp manager guide Onepager which you can print out)

Step 2: Facilitate the Team conversation

Duration: 60min

  • Share the results of the team

  • Decide what to focus on: Select 1 or 2 focus areas together that the team can influence. Use this worksheet to help you select focus areas: Deciding what to focus on

  • Define actions with clear owners: use this worksheet to help you: Deciding what to do about it

  • Make the actions SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Timebound)

  • Use the action planning conversation guide to help you prepare & lead the discussion: Action planning conversation guide

Step 3: Document the Action Plan & Submit

  • Complete the Action Planning Tool to record actions, owners & review timelines: action planning tool

  • Enter your action plan directly in Gallup Access by end 2026

  • Create visibility: put the action plan somewhere visible in the team workspace or upload it to a central digital folder (Teams/SharePoint)

Step 4: follow-Up

  • Make engagement part of your regular team meetings (5-10min check-in)

  • Share progress

  • Adapt actions when needed

  • Celebrate success

(tools by step: if a separate part with the documents is needed)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Gallup independently manages the survey process through a secure platform. Montana Aerospace only receives grouped results and never individual responses. Gallup does not generate reports for groups with fewer than four respondents in order to protect confidentiality. If the minimum responses is not reached, the report is empty.

  • No. Managers only receive aggregated team results and cannot identify individual responses.

  • No, your answers remain 100% confidential. The survey code is only used by Gallup's secure platform to verify that you are a Montana Aerospace employee and to ensure everyone only completes the survey once. Montana Aerospace will never receive data linking your code or personal information to your survey responses. Gallup processes all data externally and only reports grouped group results back to Montana Aerospace.

  • Only Gallup administers and processes the survey responses. Gallup uses specific rules to ensure confidentiality of individual responses.

    Montana Aerospace receives grouped team, department and company-level results only. No individual responses are shared with managers, HR or leadership.

Privacy & Confidentiality

Results & Follow-Up

  • Employee engagement is more than job satisfaction. Engaged employees are involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work. Engagement helps create stronger teams, better collaboration and a better workplace for everyone.

  • SpeakUp helps us understand what employees experience in their day-to-day work and identify opportunities to improve.

    Research shows that engaged employees work safer, are more customer-focused, more productive and more likely to stay with their organization. The goal is not simply to measure satisfaction, but to help create a stronger workplace for all employees.

  • Interpret each item in terms of what it means to you. What the item means to you depends on your role in your organization and what is important to you in your role.

  • Rate your current work environment. Whether you have been with your organization or in your current role for 10 months or 10 years, you should rate your current work environment.

About the Survey

  • Managers will receive access to the results from 21 October and will discuss them with their teams in the weeks shortly after.

  • To protect confidentiality, Gallup only generates reports when a minimum number of employees have participated.

    If a team does not meet the reporting threshold, results are combined with a larger group so that confidentiality remains protected.

  • Gallup will analyze the responses and prepare aggregated reports. All managers with a sufficient number of respondents to the survey receive employee engagement results, which provide a summary for their workgroup and area of the business.

    Managers will then discuss the results with their teams and work together to create action plans focused on the most important improvement opportunities.

  • Yes. SpeakUp is designed as a continuous improvement process.

    Listen → Understand → Act → Follow Up

    The survey is only the first step. The real value comes from the conversations, actions and improvements that follow. Results will be reviewed, discussed and translated into action plans at both local and company levels. Regular follow-up conversations will help ensure that actions are implemented and progress is monitored over time.

  • Teams will identify priorities on which they will work on throughout the year and create action plans together.

  • Everyone.

    After results are shared, managers and employees will work together to discuss the findings and identify priorities for improvement. Action planning is most effective when everyone has the opportunity to contribute.

    Also employees who weren’t eligible to participate in the survey, can join the team discussion about the results and participate in the action planning, as you will work on these actions throughout the coming year.

  • Not every suggestion can be implemented immediately, but all feedback helps identify priorities and opportunities for improvement. During your team discussions, you identify together the main priorities to focus on and implement throughout the coming year.

  • During team discussions together with your manager, you agree upon actions that need to be taken. These actions will be formulated in an action plan you build together as a team. Managers will discuss agreed actions with their teams and updates will be shared throughout the year.

  • Gallup is a global leader in employee engagement research and workplace analytics. Their scientifically validated methodology helps organizations understand employee engagement and identify opportunities to create stronger workplaces.
