A lot of businesses I speak to are scared of conducting employee surveys because they think it might open a huge can of worms they can't contain.
I know I have been in a team setting when opinions start flying about and it can quickly become quite heated, you probably have too and it isn't a great place to be.
This is every business owner’s worst nightmare.
But employee surveys can be so different to that and give GREAT insights
They’re not even a discussion...They’re mostly done independently online.
They’re way more focused.
They’re designed to provide your business with actionable insights that will help you to improve so many things in your business.
So next time you think about employee surveys, don’t think that you’re going to open Pandora’s box.
Instead think that you’re getting great insights that you can use to make well thought out business decisions.
To that end, here are 3 reasons why you should be using employment surveys:
1. Help you to create strategy
Ever felt like you could do with GPS tracking for your business? The answers, input and insights you receive from employee surveys can be treated like your navigational system, helping you to spot opportunities, dodge obstacles, and get a clear view of your company's landscape. You really do miss out on some valuable information to help you achieve great things.
2. Help you to boost employment engagement
Engagement isn't just a buzzword, it's essential to a thriving workplace.
Employee surveys really do give you a great understanding of what fuels your team's fire. From flexible hours to a well-stocked snack cupboard, these surveys can unveil the secret to a motivated and satisfied team, preventing you from guessing what your people want.... and potentially getting it wrong.
Creating non-value adding costs AND adding little value to your team is not where you want to be.
3. Help you to save costs and increase income
As a result of using employee surveys, you’ll make better business decisions that will help you to save costs and increase income. It could be just that simple.
