Surveying Your Employees: A Powerful Tool

Why Survey Employees?

As an employer, the greatest energy for your business comes from your employees. If they are disillusioned or unsatisfied, the result could be catastrophic for your company. Save money and improve employee retention with surveys by increasing employee satisfaction.

Employee Surveys and Workplace Culture

To satisfy the needs of your entire workforce, you need to understand your workplace culture on a deeper level. Employee surveys provide a sociological evaluation, giving you a realistic view of individuals in relation to your organization's goals and mindset. By asking targeted questions, you can tailor the workplace culture, making changes that will enhance employee satisfaction.

Partnering with UKG for Successful Surveys

Survey tools are essential in determining when and how to make corporate changes that will improve your workplace environment. UKG Ready Surveys offers comprehensive survey capabilities that empower you to stay in sync with the needs and sentiments of your people. With UKG Surveys, you can gain comprehensive insights into your workforce and build an engaging and purpose-driven culture with the power of intelligent technology.

According to UKG Survey Findings from 2023, employee surveys have many other benefits. Ways on-the-job surveys can positively change businesses include:

• Propel internal mobility within an organization
• Increase mentorship opportunities for employees
• Improve work scheduling, including scheduling time off
• Personalize career pathways for employees

Surveying your employees' work requirements and requests can be done anonymously. A good example of anonymous surveys is using a Workplace Comments box. Employees are asked to fill out a survey generally in person but without including their identity.

Tips for Successful Survey Implementation

To make your surveys more successful, consider these additional tips:

1. Timing is Essential: Provide ample time for employees to complete surveys without feeling rushed or pressured. Aim to distribute surveys during work hours to avoid making it feel like additional homework.
2. Give Employees a Head's Up: Establish a regular survey schedule, so employees can plan and allocate time for survey completion. This promotes thoughtful responses and timely feedback.
3. Keep Surveys Short: Respect your employees' time by keeping surveys concise. Aim for a duration of 10 to 20 minutes, ensuring that questions are engaging and easy to navigate.
4. Blend Open and Close-Ended Questions: Strike a balance between open-ended and close-ended questions. Open-ended questions encourage qualitative responses, while close-ended questions provide quantitative data for analysis.
5. Stay Focused on Surveys: Maintain a clear focus for each survey by identifying its primary purpose or goal. You'll gather relevant and actionable data to improve employee satisfaction by aligning questions with the survey's theme.
