Persuading Staff to Complete the Engagement Survey

Annie

Hi Everyone, 

A week on Monday my organisation will be releasing an engagement survey for staff. The company has never done anything like this before but it will be a huge benefit for us to develop going forwards. 

Next week we want to do a count down and send an email a day to get people on board with it. Does anyone have any ideas for what can be included for the communication? We will be doing posters etc, but would be great if anyone had a few fun/quirky ideas of how to communicate the message. 

Thank you!!

  • Something that isn't top down - do you have any consultative group or employee reps? If so, could they be the people that are championing the survey right now? If they've been involved in shaping the questions and ensuring the anonymity behind it, they'd be powerful advocates for what you're trying to achieve.

    I think Nina has highlighted a key lever here. Surveys are often perceived as "what the company would like to knowabout its staff". If you can include elements of "what the staff would like to know", and include staff in identifying the subjects of interest plus the formulation of the questions, then IMHO you'll get a higher return rate, because it becomes perceived as being (in part) "for them and by them".
    Let us know what you do and how it goes?
