Surveying your employees is a good way to find out what’s going on at the coal-face of your company. You can determine what perceptions are, what morale is like, how engaged your employees are, gather ideas about areas for improvement or efficiencies that could be made, what your strengths and weaknesses are and even what gaps exist when it comes to knowledge, education and training.
You can then ask the same questions again in the future - say in six or twelve months - and determine whether or not there has been any discernible change. There is no point in trying to act on feedback if you have no way to measure its reception.
Good leaders will ask their staff for their opinions and input and then implement any changes necessary.There’s also a saying that people leave managers and not companies - if management is poor, even if the employee believes in the mission and vision of the company, they are not likely to stay.
Delivering employee surveys has never been easier than it is with DeskAlerts. DeskAlerts is a powerful internal communication software solution that improves knowledge and information sharing by sending pop-up notifications straight to employee desktops. Notifications are sent no matter what software the employee is using at the time, bypassing the increasingly unreliable email system, and appear even if a computer is locked, on standby or on screensaver mode.
One of the many features of DeskAlerts is its surveys, polls and quizzes module that sends these types of feedback gathering communications to employees also in the form of an obtrusive pop-up notification.
Many people have experienced the pain of sending a well-written, well-crafted survey by email only to find that very few of the recipients were seeing it and acting on it.
By using DeskAlerts to send your surveys you are literally “getting in people’s faces”. You can also see your survey results in real time.
If you’re ready to start surveying your staff, but don’t know where to start, you should come up with a range of questions about working life at your company that they can answer.
These are some of the best questions you can ask to really get an idea of what is going on with your workforce.
