Build an engaged workforce

First and foremost, it’s important to set a clear goal for your survey and to align on that goal with your leadership team. Being clear in mind about your survey goal will help guide you to ask the right questions.??? Not sure where to start? Let AI create a tailored survey for you. 

Once you’ve finalised your survey, you should share it across various channels to boost employee participation. You should also ensure that you state the purpose of the survey and whether the responses will be anonymous.

Once you’ve closed the survey, it’s time to start analysing your results. Begin by reviewing the findings in aggregate and exploring high-level trends. If you have any data from previous engagement surveys, you should review how metrics have changed over time. Next, drill down into the data by filtering and comparing the results, such as eNPS scores according to team or tenure. Survey comments will help you understand the “why?” behind the trends and uncover the underlying reasons for the feedback.

Based on these insights, you should develop and propose initiatives to act upon the feedback. You should also consider how you will continue to monitor engagement on an ongoing basis, such as by conducting pulse surveys.

Employee engagement survey software helps you efficiently collect feedback data, understand what drives engagement across teams and uncover potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed. 

Surveys also provide a means to truly understand how employees feel, and why, by allowing honest, anonymous feedback. 

When looking for employee engagement survey software, here are a few key factors to consider:

• Ease of use: You’ll ideally want a platform that your entire team can use (without any specialised training) for both longer engagement surveys and ad-hoc pulse surveys to dive into specific trends. 

• Features that save time: HR pros are busier than ever, so look for software that helps you free up time in your day. For example, AI-powered survey creation features, expert-built templates, and dashboards that are easy to configure and update in real time will help your team do more. 

• Anonymity controls and admin settings: When employees have sensitive feedback to share, it’s important to provide a confidential platform that enables you to control who has access to your data.

• Customisation: Every organisation is different and one-size-fits-all platforms won’t cut the mustard. Look for solutions that allow you to ask questions exactly how you like and tailor the respondent experience with advanced branching and logic.
