How often to re-survey employees?
Today I was asked an interesting question about staff surveys:
I have recently conducted a Global Employee Survey with my current organisation. There is a lot of discussion around when we should repeat this exercise, this ranges from 6 months to 24 months.
Do you have any advice?
My reply:
This all depends what you want to and are willing to do with the results of the employee survey.
I suspect that the organisation you are in now is very different from the one you knew 2 years ago (assuming you have been there that time). The currency of the results is limited to impacts of change by culture, goals, market place % of manager changes etc…
The question I would want to ask is; how would staff react to a repeat survey?
- Great – a lot changed last time or …
- Not again – they did not listen last time so why this time?
How often do you do your employee surveys?
How do employees react?
