As a business leader, one of your jobs is to make big, difficult decisions.
When making a decision, you take care to look at all of the information available to you so that you can make the best, most informed decisions.
And when it comes to making decisions about your people, you know it’s important to use the same care and due diligence because they are the people that deliver for your customers.
Employee surveys are a really useful solution to finding out answers to how your employees view your business. They can provide valuable insights that can inform decisions for your team.
I would go so far as to say they’re one of the most powerful tools you can use as a business leader because they help you to bridge the gap between what you think is going on and how people are really experiencing working in your business.
Here’s how to conduct a great survey:
Step 1: Create a specific focus for your survey informed by business outcomes.
Step 2: Decide how you will conduct the survey, for example, online forms, in-person interviews or group sessions.
Step 3: Create questions that will prompt the insights you need in a way that you can use to measure, benchmark and compare data in the future.
Step 4: Frame the survey to your employees and encourage them to take part.
Step 5: Decide how you want your employees to complete the survey.
Step 6: Review results and create findings.
Step 7: Create your action plan.
Step 8: Communicate findings and actions to your team.
Step 9: Act on the results.
Step 10: Check in 6 months later to see if you’ve changed the right things..
