Top 25 Сommunication Survey Questions for Employees of Your Company | DeskAlerts

Do you know how your employees feel about working for your organization? Do you know if they are happy or if they are harboring issues that they don’t feel comfortable talking about?  Often it can come as a surprise for management when there are problems and issues within a workplace that have existed for a while, unaddressed.

You can’t fix any problems that you don’t know about. That’s why it’s important to engage your employees and ask for their opinions, insights, and feedback.

What will an engagement survey do for you?

Carrying out an engagement survey will help you discover how committed to your organization’s values your employees are, what their understanding is of the work they do, how they feel about management, how they see their supervisor, how well they access information and how effective communication efforts are in your company.

What to ask your employees in an engagement survey

You can survey your employees on virtually any aspect of your business. To get the most value out of an employee engagement survey, you should only ask relevant questions that will provide you with data that you can use effectively.

How to send staff surveys

When you have DeskAlerts as your company’s internal communications solution, you can easily create and send surveys to all your employees.

Surveys are sent as pop-up notifications on employees’ screens – they can’t be skipped or ignored. The nature of sending surveys this way means that human resources can complete the survey more quickly, even in a day, instead of waiting long periods of time for staff to respond via traditional methods such as paper or email.

You can send surveys to every employee at once, or target specific groups. You’ll be able to see the survey results in real time, instantly through the DeskAlerts statistics module.
