Employee Opinions Surveys are much more common nowadays. But is your current method of gaining feeback from your staff as effective as it could be?
It’s true. Many businesses have elaborate mechanisms for asking their people what they think and the issues they have. Some have regular paper based systems, some build the process into their appraisals, some ask external companies to deliver annual independent employee opinion surveys.
Yet why is it many employee's view these as costly and of little value or something that is merely delivered for the sake of saying its been done, or even to help a marketing or recruitment strategy?
At Clarity we place the emphasis on obtaining fast accurate information and instantly taking action on it. This helps generate trust within your workforce and creates activity that is visible. We help report the results back to your internal audience too and we repeat the process. That way it becomes ingrained in culture and isn't merely seen as a fad with little importance to your staff..
It's vital we help to change the organisations view of employee surveys and feedback. It's about gaining information to understand and make your company better at what it does for the people you will recruit in the future, and for those who are currently working within your organisation.
You won't succeed if your employee's don't trust company management or if the results and actions aren't openly shared. It's not a case of delivering staff satisfaction surveys for the sake of it. Employee opinion surveys only have value if you run them regularly to pick up trends and take action on what they tell you.
