Persuading Staff to Complete the Engagement Survey

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!!

  • Hi Annie, we had one here at the CIPD this year and it was a big one! I thought the HR team and internal comms lead did a good job on promoting it as there was a prize draw (vouchers for two people) for submissions and also they kept communicating percentage completions and what the target was so we could see we were getting closer to the target and there was that effect of wanting to help out with reaching it. The other thing they did was encouraged line managers to keep mentioning it to their teams. Agree it's really important to stress it's anonymous. People sometimes think they can be identified by a process of elimination eg part-time, female, length of service!
