Sounds like there are lots of people looking for answers on surveys, Human Resources, and more!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>In case you missed it, here are a few highlights from our Q&amp;A that might be helpful for you, too:<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><b>What&#8217;s the deal with pre-population?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re sending out a survey and you already know some of the answers, why ask the questions? Let&#8217;s say you&nbsp;want to be able to report out on employee engagement by department. You know you need that department question in there to run that report. But hey, they&#8217;re your employees. Of course you know their departments! Why waste my time as a participant? Even more, it&#8217;s a little insulting if my employer sends me a survey and asks me which department I belong to. Come on!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/help\/sending-pre-populated-invitations\/\">Pre-population<\/a> lets you load those answers along with your distribution list so the answers are pre-filled for participants. Plus, you can hide those questions to save time, or make them editable or read-only. Smart and efficient, especially for internal HR surveys for employees.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><b>How fast can I design and send my survey?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You can do it today! Plus, if you don&#8217;t design it, you can save lots of time! Starting with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/survey-templates\/\">Survey Bank <\/a>is a really great way to get ahead. Whether you decide to use a complete survey and copy it right into your account, to tweak a few questions to meet your needs, or to just review a few examples for inspiration, the Survey Bank can save you lots of time. Of course, you can start from scratch, too, if you want to go your own way!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>As for distribution, you probably already have email addresses for your employees. Load &#8217;em up and send &#8217;em out! Design an invitation for single-use links (strongly recommend!) or generate a link to post on your intranet or share through an all-company chat &#8212; in under a minute!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>So, in short, it can be pretty fast! Of course, make sure you&#8217;re asking the right questions, or the report won&#8217;t fit your needs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>What are some of the most popular surveys for Human Resources?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Employee Engagement is a big one, along with Company Culture and Employee Satisfaction, for those big-picture views. Since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sogolytics.com\/survey-templates\/employee\/employee-engagement-survey\/\">HR covers a lot of areas<\/a>, people might be interested in Employee Benefits Surveys, Professional Development Follow-up Surveys, and even Event Feedback Surveys. Employee Exit Surveys are part of the cycle, as well as Performance Appraisal, 360 Evaluations, and more &#8212; it&#8217;s a pretty long list!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>What other tools could I use?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to surveys and forms, we also offer integrated Poll and Assessment Tools. These are great for self-scoring evaluations, or even quick one-question pulse-taking. Not everything needs to be a survey, of course. Forms on internal websites are sometimes under-utilized &#8212; so many smarter ways to collect data!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p>Again, just a few highlights, but if you&#8217;d like to see the full recording, check it out here!<\/p>\n<div class=\"div-minispacer\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/i2ZnYEetl4E\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=en&amp;q=https:\/\/youtu.be\/i2ZnYEetl4E&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1498828857229000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFhoOc1zFezrs-D38TbKTebei-K9Q\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Things Every HR Pro Should Know<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Missed our webinar?
