Employee Engagement Pulse Survey Tools: Best Practices
- Know your purpose: There should be a clear purpose of using these surveys. Pulse surveys are usually shorter with 5-10 questions and the purpose is to track employee engagement, understand the action plan, demonstrate how important employee feedback is for the organization and more. By including employee engagement questions you can understand what is driving engagement in your organization.
- Don’t survey if you can’t take actions: Survey only if you intend to take the necessary actions. The most typical reason people dropout is because you haven’t done anything since the last survey you deployed. Survey fatigue is for real. Only survey as often as you can take action, else please don’t bother your employees.
- Communication is important: Once your survey is ready before you send it, communicate with your staff, increase their awareness about the survey. When employees know the purpose of the survey they are inclined to provide feedback without hesitation.
- Take your survey for a spin: Before you send out the survey to the entire organization, send to a handful first. Ask them how they feel about the length of the survey, survey questions, survey design and more. Ask them to check for any errors. Image sending out a survey to your employees with spelling mistakes in it. Nightmare!
