Do you know whether your
employees are happy at work? Do they feel valued and empowered? Are they
motivated and engaged enough? These questions should be regularly asked by
employers so they can ensure a healthy, friendly and a truly productive
environment.
But how to get honest
answers and thoughts about these issues? Employee surveys will definitely help
you to gather the necessary feedback, unveil employee’s feelings and ideas and,
what is more important, to show new opportunities and fields for improvement.
Here’re several tips to
obtain truly honest and helpful answers from your colleagues.
Explain the objectives and promote
Notify employees about the
survey before you release it. Let your colleagues that the questionnaire is
coming and explain to them why it’s important and how it could help them and
the company in future. Encourage participations, provide a collaborative
environment and urge employees to provide honest feedback.
Ensure further actions
It’s essential that a
company’s management is completely committed to the survey and is eager not to
conduct it only but also to take crucial actions basing on the received
results. Ask yourself whether you are ready for it, if not, then it would be
best not to run it at all. If your colleagues see that their opinion on this or
that matter is neglected, you’re risking to decrease staff’s engagement and
loyalty. Show your employees that their ideas do matter and that you want and can implement them.

Make it simple
Make sure
that the surveys you offer your colleagues are understandable and easy to
complete. Compose questions such a way so that they can spend maximum 20
minutes to response them. This will help you to get in depth information and at
the same time employees won’t be discouraged by the length.
Share results
One of the
most spread mistakes top management does after conducting surveys is preventing
all the respondents from seeing the results. This can lead to the feeling that
there’s something the company hides. After you get the results, analyze them
thoroughly and be ready to share them no matter there are good or not. You can
also arrange a meeting with those interested in the given results and discuss
with them what can be improved and turned into life.
Put into action
The most
important and the most difficult part of the employee surveys is to ensure that
the feedback turns into improvements within the company. Celebrate your
successes, analyze your problems and find solutions to them. Basing on the
survey results compose a plan of action, discuss it with the colleagues and get
down to turning it to reality.
Gaining
honest and thus valuable feedback can help to reorient team priorities, unveil
new points for improvements and address many other challenges.
