Employee Surveys - a powerful tool for your business

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, it’s important to use the same care and due diligence, because they’re your greatest asset.


But how do you know what your employees are really thinking? 🤔 Are you concerned about retention and wondering why your employees are leaving?


Employee surveys are the answer. ✅

They give you the insights you need to make the best decisions for your team and your business.

They’re one of the most powerful tools you can use as a business leader.

They help you to bridge the gap between what you think is going on and what is actually happening – because the two can often mean very different things.


Here’s how to conduct the perfect survey:

  1. Create a specific focus for your survey based on business outcomes.
  2. Decide how you will conduct the survey, whether via an online form or in-person interviews.
  3. Create questions that will give you the insights you need in a way that you can measure, benchmark and compare in the future.
  4. Pre-frame the survey to your employees and encourage them to take part. Let them know what's in it for them.
  5. Decide how you want your employees to complete the survey.
  6. Review results and create findings.
  7. Create your action plan.
  8. Communicate findings and actions to your team.
  9. Act on the results.
  10. Check in 6 months later to see if you’ve made improvements.
