Continuous? Strategic? What’s the Best Way to Listen to Employees?

  • There are lots of HR “experts” that extol the “right” way to survey employees and use those insights. But what makes sense for your organization?
  • When it comes to the best survey design for your organization, ignore the hype. The census survey is not dead, the best surveys have more than 10 questions, and the organization doesn’t need to collect data all the time
  • Surveys should evaluate engagement, to be sure, but more than that surveys should evaluate the effectiveness of the work environment and feed HR analytics, enabling good data-based decisions about people
  • This presentation will separate fact from fiction when it comes to the best way to listen to employees and provide attendees a roadmap for determining what approaches make most sense today and in the future
