FAQs
What is an employee engagement survey for?
Employee engagement surveys are a popular tool or process used for gathering the opinions of staff on matters relating to work. Previously know as ‘satisfaction’ surveys, they now typically relate more to employee engagement and other aspects of the broader employee experience.
Do employee engagement surveys work?
Employee engagement surveys can be tremendously useful in uncovering employee insights and alerting leaders to potential issues. However, their perceived success depends largely on them asking the most relevant questions, and to the organisation and managers taking action on results.
What are the best employee engagement survey questions?
The best employee engagement survey questions are very much dependent on the organisational context. Typically a survey will include questions relating to areas such as job satisfaction & engagement, training & development, work environment, leadership, line manager and pay & benefits.
How do you design an employee engagement survey?
Our belief, much like Engage For Success is that bespoke design of a survey is key to it providing accurate, actionable results. We recommend a thorough design process that encompasses speaking with stakeholder groups and involving employees to understand the context and questions to include.
How do you measure employee engagement?
The key drivers of employee engagement will differ from one organisation to the next. However, an ‘engagement index’ may likely feature questions relating to employee voice, intention to stay (in the job), employee advocacy (likelihood to recommend) and career development opportunities.
Should employee engagement surveys be anonymous?
Yes, the confidentiality of employee engagement surveys is for the utmost importance. The real value in this exercise is to get unfiltered, honest feedback from employees, which will only happen if they are reassured over their anonymity.
What is the best communication strategy for an employee engagement survey?
The communication strategy for an employee engagement survey is critical to everything from its launch to taking action. It is about using the best channels to reach employees, about clearly articulating the survey’s purpose and how results are to be used. We usually suggest a multi-channel comms plan – perhaps encompassing video, email, posters, intranet and live forums.
How do you act on employee engagement survey results?
Acting on employee engagement survey results is something that must be considered from the very outset. It pays to get managers involved early in the design, to gain their buy-in to the process and thus taking action afterwards too. On a practical level, be sure to provide managers with support and action plan templates too.
