Frequently Asked Questions
How often should you send out employee surveys?
+No matter how wonderful your employee survey software is, your colleagues can get tired of seeing employee surveys. Survey fatigue is real, and it doesn’t help your efforts to improve employee experience! The important thing is to build a plan and evolve it as you go. Don’t try to send lots of surveys at once – or to send a really long survey that asks too many questions! If you are just getting started, you might try a monthly employee pulse survey. This should be a very very short survey that allows you to encourage ongoing feedback. A longer survey, like employee engagement, should only one done once a year, or twice at most. Remember that the best employee survey tools come from partner providers who can help to advise you, too. 😉
How many questions should you have in employee surveys?
+Not too many – or nobody will answer them all. Not too few – or you won’t get any useful data! When you can pre-populate information you already know (department, work location, etc.), you can save your participants some time and keep them focused on the important questions. In reviewing your employee survey questions, remember that the goal is to end up with the right report. If you need to put together a performance review, for example, you’ll need all of the right employee performance feedback questions. If you need to measure satisfaction by department, you’ll need questions about both satisfaction and department. Don’t ask questions that you don’t need to include in the report!
Should all employee surveys be anonymous?
+It can be helpful if your employee survey software allows you to launch anonymous surveys, especially if you’re asking sensitive questions. Manager feedback surveys, for example, can be tricky, even with the best employee survey questions. Employees may be nervous to provide candid feedback if they feel their managers can track the data back to them. However, in some cases, you do need to know some information about participants, like their department or work location. This can be important in segmenting results so that the data is useful. Ideally, you’ll let your employees know exactly how data will be used, who will have access to the results, and whether responses will be anonymous, confidential, or neither.
What are the most common types of employee surveys?
+A quick survey of employees is a great way to learn more about how to improve your workplace, enhance customer experience, and grow your brand. The best employee survey tools will include a full template bank of employee surveys, allowing you to get started quickly with projects like employee pulse surveys, employee engagement surveys, 360 employee feedback, inter-department satisfaction, benefits surveys, and more. Employee performance feedback questions, training evaluations and assessments, and professional development surveys are also common employee surveys.
