Surveys
Managers might be “taking the pulse” of their employees periodically, but employees are constantly talking about where they work and who they work with – and work for. So it’s a great investment to ask your employees regularly what’s on their minds using employee surveys.
Employee surveys can help:
- diagnose issues and overall organizational climate
- anticipate potential problems
- assess teamwork and management style problems
- measure the effects of organizational change.
Employee surveys often accompany specific initiatives: strategic planning, TQM, a move to teams, the balanced scorecard and the like. Since each can send different ripples through the organization, it takes savvy to create and administer an employee survey that assures management of actionable recommendations. An employee satisfaction survey, for example, might focus on specific aspects of a person's job, an employee opinion survey or employee attitude survey might ask more general questions.
