CIPD Members Survey 2018

I am just completing this and had to take a break!

What are other peoples opinions? On the form, content and length

Given that many HR professionals run opinion surveys in their own organisations how many would subject their organisations to this kind of depth of survey and expect to get a response?

Personally for me its far far too long, asks some pretty leading questions and I struggle to see the good needed coming from it

It could be I am just having a bad day - so colleagues - cheer me up have I got it all wrong on this one?

I too personally found it far too lengthy and convoluted and generally steering away from seeking frank and honest answers to fundamental questions about what CIPD members really think about their organisation. I’ll readily admit that I have my particular hobbyhorses / long-standing agenda in this regard, but I have to say that I don’t feel the survey explored these all that much.

Entertainingly, I was completing it, and at my first slightly negative comment, it crashed and lost everything....

Annabel, that is what I think happened with me. Kept getting to the questions about 'thinking about renewal' and each time I answered 'had to think very hard about it' (or whatever wording was used) it sent me back to the beginning. Obviously, did not want any negative or at least non-positive comments. Think results will not be a true reflection so not convinced it is a worthwhile effort for anybody.

I did feel as though I was being asked the same or similar questions repeatedly, or more follow up questions on areas I'd already said weren't of interest to me. Maybe a smarter survey workflow would have made it less cumbersome to complete from a user persepctive.

Hi Susan,

Obviously, did not want any negative or at least non-positive comments.

Alas, the survey platform is not as intelligent as that. A coincidence, I assure you.
