The Scenario: This employee engagement heat map cartoon captures a definitive boardroom "oops" moment.
An HR leader presents a colorful heat map intended to show company-wide morale, only to realize the data has backfired.
While the rest of the company is "lukewarm," the HR department is highlighted as a frozen, white void. It mocks the irony of a department that specializes in "warmth" being the most emotionally detached unit in the building.
The Observation:At Kaapi with Ravi, we see "The Cobbler’s Shoes" paradox. This employee engagement heat map cartoon identifies that those who spend their lives measuring other people's pulses often forget to check their own.
When HR presents a map that proves they are the "ice-cold zone," it reveals a culture where the engagement experts have become completely disenfranchised by their own metrics and bureaucracy.
There’s no irony quite like an HR team using a heat map to find engagement, only to realize they’re the reason the office needs a polar fleece.
