Employee Surveys

An increasing number of our clients now conduct regular company-wide employee surveys. A regular survey - perhaps 6 monthly or annually - allows you to understand not only the situation at that point in time, but also to compare results and monitor trends. Surveys can be designed for all employees, or for specific groups such as your Management Team. All survey questionnaires will be tailored to your organisation.

Improve the long-term health of your business An employee survey shows you really care, improves staff retention (especially amongst those you value most highly), has a positive effect on customer satisfaction, productivity and company profitability. In short, an employee survey leaves your business in stronger long-term health, with valuable payback in several different areas. Diagnose then Measure Usually a combination of qualitative (diagnostic) and quantitative (measurement) techniques is required. For instance, individual interviews and discussion groups (and sometimes, brainstorming sessions) are often used to assess and understand the range of views/issues/attitudes that exist.

Publish & discuss results
With very few exceptions, survey results - warts and all - should be independently produced, then published and openly discussed. This demonstrates that everybody has a valid view, that problems cannot be ignored or covered up, and that Management are determined both to listen and act.

A powerful tool
Since all employee surveys should be 100% confidential and non-attributable, a survey is a powerful way of understanding how your staff are really feeling…

…but you must want to know, and be willing to act on what you discover!
