Develop company-specific employee attitude surveys

Article Abstract:

Firms interested in learning about employees and the effectiveness of personnel management programs may want to create attitude surveys specific to their companies because standardized surveys may be over-generalized or focus on issues not important to all organizations. Experience has shown that firm-tailored surveys generate optimal results because they reduce paperwork and administrative costs. Determining important questions can be accomplished by gathering data from employees to pinpoint organization-specific issues and from top management to determine broad organizational issues. The surveys should include interviews with participants, and efforts should be made to communicate results, even if results are negative.

Employee attitude surveys help managers solve workplace problems

Article Abstract:

Problems in the workplace can be dealt with even before they arise by using employee attitude surveys. Surveys can help managers identify and clarify issues that need to be addressed, including job satisfaction, compensation, benefits, and attitudes toward company policies and practices. The most appropriate times to conduct attitude surveys are when there is a new CEO, after a major reorganization, after an acquisition, or when there are clear indications of problems within the organization. Software packages, such as Easy Gen, can help employers conduct and interpret surveys on their own.

Attitude surveying

Article Abstract:

Attitude surveys provide a corporation with valuable information about its employees. For a survey to be successful, a company must invest the time and funds necessary for well-designed questionnaires, provide employees with survey results, and implement changes based on the results of the survey. Outside consultants are generally best able to conduct surveys, since they have the tools, data and experience required, and can assure employees of anonymity. Attitude surveys can be used to evaluate employee assets, management performance, training needs and morale.
