Participating in an employee engagement survey gives you the opportunity to open your eyes, ears, and mind to how employees feel about working at your company. As an employer, this survey is invaluable to you – it’s the one time of the year when you don’t have to wonder what your employees are thinking.
Why should you participate in an employee engagement survey? Here are 7 key reasons: Gallup’s research over several years has linked employee engagement to performance outcomes, customer loyalty, profitability, productivity, and employee well-being. An engagement survey gives you a tangible measure of your employees’ feelings about their experiences at your company. Based on the results provided by your employees, it provides clear direction on where your company should focus to make the greatest impact on employee engagement. Offering employees a survey opportunity shows you care and are listening. You can anonymously see your company’s ranking compared to national and Nexstar averages. By acting on what you see in results, you will strengthen your culture, leading to increased employee retention and a stronger ability to attract new talent. You have a Leadership and Culture Coach ready to support you from start to finish!
The engagement survey is free as part of your membership and only takes place once a year.
