Employee Engagement Surveys
How your employees behave will have a huge impact on the success of your Company, and it is a known fact that Company’s function best when they can harness the creativity, commitment, passion, capability and energy of their workforce.
Carrying out an Engagement Survey
Conducting an employee engagement survey can provide your business with employee feedback to help you to identify where you are maximising employee potential and where attention is needed to improve employee motivation, productivity and retention.
An employee engagement survey’s aim should be to capture views on all aspects of the employee experience.
Key themes
You should decide which key themes the survey will explore. Many employee surveys focus on themes such as:
- line management;
- leadership;
- communication;
- teamwork;
- training and development;
- job content;
- customer focus;
- wellbeing;
- fair treatment; and
- pay and benefits.
You should consider the issues which are of the most importance to your business and those that are of most importance to the employees.
Employee engagement questions
The survey will include specific questions to measure the level of employee engagement i.e. those that measure whether or not employees would recommend the Company as an employer, commitment to the Company and willingness to provide discretionary effort e.g.
- “I would recommend this Company as a great place to work.”
- “I feel committed to my Company’s goals.”
- “Working for this Company makes me want to do the best work I can.”
