In Part 2 of our Metrics That Matter series, Kristine and Monica sit down with organizational psychologist Dr. Nicole Eisdorfer, founder of Truer Words, to unpack why so many HR and culture metrics feel useless, and what to do about it.
Nicole blends HR practitioner experience with IO psychology research to explain why most HR data wasn’t designed to measure culture in the first place. She breaks down how default assumptions, legacy systems, and borrowed templates distort our metrics and offers practical ways to make your data “truer” so it actually supports trust, leadership, and culture.
If you’ve ever stared at performance ratings, engagement scores, or dashboards and thought, “This doesn’t match reality,” this episode is for you.
This is Part 2 of our Metrics That Matter series on Collaborative Culture. If you’re rethinking how you measure culture, trust, and engagement—and how those metrics shape real decisions—this conversation with Nicole is a powerful place to continue the journey.
Thanks for Listening!
We’d love to hear from you.
