Concept

1. Purpose and Goals

  • Define clear purposes for the survey: What do you want to know? Do you want to understand the employees' engagement, their views on the company's values, or how the work environment is perceived?

  • Set concrete goals: Increase employee satisfaction, improve recruitment processes, or strengthen company culture.

2. Target audience

  • Identify target groups: Current employees, former employees, and potential candidates.

  • Adapt the questions according to the target audience to obtain relevant insights.

3. Questionnaire

  • Design the survey with a mix of quantitative (scale 1-5) and qualitative (open-ended questions) questions.

  • Examples of questions:

    How would you describe the company's culture?

    What values do you think are most important in our company?

    What would make you recommend our company as a workplace?

4. Distribution and Participation

  • Use multiple channels to distribute the survey: email, internal communication platforms, and social media.

  • Create incentives to increase response rates, such as a competition or prize draw.

5. Analysis of Results

  • Analyze the results carefully and identify trends and patterns.

  • Create reports summarizing the findings and present them to the management and other stakeholders.

6. Actions and Implementation

  • Develop action plans based on the insights. If the survey shows that employees want more flexibility, consider implementing flexible working hours.

  • Communicate what is being done with the results to the employees to show that their voices are being heard.

7. Follow-up

  • Conduct a follow-up survey after a certain number of months to measure changes and effects of implemented actions.

  • Analyze if there is an improvement in employer branding and employee satisfaction.

8. Marketing of Results

  • Share success stories and insights from the survey on the company's website and social media to attract future talents.

  • Use statistics and quotes from employees in recruitment materials to demonstrate a positive work environment and culture.

Summary

By systematically using a survey tool, companies can obtain valuable feedback that not only helps improve the workplace but also strengthens their employer branding. This leads to a stronger brand, happier employees, and a more attractive workplace for future candidates.
