Survey Design

Every employee opinion survey we conduct is different. This is because each organization has unique strengths and faces different challenges. Our goal is to design a survey that matches your unique needs.

1. Interviews

Our first step when designing an Employee Opinion Survey is to interview a cross-section of employees and managers – chosen by you, with our guidance – from all levels in the organization. The purpose of the interviews is to gain a general understanding of the opinions, issues and concerns that participants perceive as being significant, in order to fully customize your Employee Opinion Survey.

Once the interviews are completed, you will receive a written assessment summarizing, anonymously, the participants’ comments during the interviews. A draft survey, based on the strengths and opportunities identified in the assessment, will also be presented.

2. Questions

Senior consultants will work with you to finalize the survey questions so that the survey will give you the clearest insight into your organization’s strengths, as well as its areas for improvement. We also want to make sure that the questions asked are in areas you are able to fix and create action plans. One mistake some companies make is to ask questions that are interesting, but don’t consider what they will do if the questions come back low.

3. Breakdowns

Breakdowns refer to the manner in which the reported data is organized. We work with you to determine data breakdowns to optimize a thorough analysis of your organization before the survey is released. Our technology also allows us to process your data in any way that you feel would be helpful. Whether it is by management level, department, shift, years of service, divisions, etc., we can work with you to determine the most valuable ways to sort the data and allow patterns to become visible.
