Employee Feedback
Collecting regular feedback from employees can help better understand why they stay or leave your company. Ongoing communication between workers and their supervisors and managers can play a valuable role in gathering this information. Quick check-ins with staff about their work can identify challenges that need to be addressed, as well successes that should be recognized. Supplementing this with a formal employee survey can help gather data in a more systematic and comprehensive way.
A correctly designed survey can collect information about employee attitudes toward workplace recognition, commitment, compensation and flexibility. Using a survey tool with customized questions will ensure that the data collected will reflect your company's culture and vision. To increase frank and open sharing by employees, it is important that survey responses are anonymous and confidential. It is common for companies to hire experienced and independent research companies to conduct the survey.
Hiring Youth
Youth are accustomed to the usage of technology, so survey administration should take advantage of this when asking for their participation. Programming an online survey that can be completed on mobile devices will help to increase the response rate from youth.
Hiring Newcomers
The culture and background of newcomers may impact their willingness to provide candid feedback about supervisors and managers. It should be emphasized that the survey is anonymous and confidential and is meant to provide an assessment of the overall company and not individual employees. Newcomers can be told that the survey is designed to improve the functioning of the company, and this can only be achieved with their frank and candid feedback.
