Employees don't always reveal the true strength of their feeling to their employers, often afraid of reprisal or disciplinary action. To avoid either embarrassment or false reporting of opinion, it is wise to engage a third party research specialist. We have the expertise to conduct a confidential employee satisfaction survey on your behalf.
In many organisations, the traditional workplace hierarchy may dictate a system of instruction to employees, and this may lead to workers feeling undervalued. Similarly, employees may misunderstand their roles or responsibilities or feel aggrieved at others' actions. This could have a negative impact on the working environment and productivity. At Mackman Research, we believe that your company's most valuable asset is its employees, and we can help you create an employee engagement survey which fully reveals how your staff think and feel. Our employee engagement surveys will help you investigate fundamentals such as training and development opportunities, commitment, enthusiasm, perceived standards, and overall satisfaction.
We construct an employee engagement survey that is trouble-free for employees to open up and share what they know and how they feel about the organisation where they work. Our online employee engagement surveys offer a quick online link through to the survey. Here staff members can respond to the survey conveniently and anonymously (if chosen). Confidentiality with anonymity is often used to encourage full and frank perceptions when conducting an employee engagement survey.
We work collaboratively with our clients to help you gauge job satisfaction, internal perceptions and performance levels. We analyse and report your employee engagement survey data findings in a clear and concise way, recognising strong trends to help you get the most out of this useful information.
Acknowledging employees as an invaluable asset and source of inspiration, rather than mere workers, builds a rewarding company culture that ultimately improves the overall performance of the entire organisation. In a similar way to a garden, when the wellbeing and health of every plant is tended to, your product and yield will greatly improve.
There is a wide range of rich qualitative research that contributes towards our knowledge of modern working life and job quality, but improving this within an individual workplace or company-wide requires a comprehensive and cohesive audit of employee satisfaction. For example, recent research has shown that fewer than six in ten employees feel a strong sense of commitment to their organisation. Employee engagement surveys are an effective step in becoming a more proactive, considerate, and cost-effective employer.
It is abundantly clear that unengaged and unfulfilled employees impact the productivity of a company, its ability to innovate, and on a fundamental level, the bottom line. We work on a bespoke basis, not a 'one size fits all' approach. We utilise the channels of communication that are most suitable for your employees to promote high response rates, and employ a wide range of research methodologies tailored to your requirements.
We take the time to establish your precise research objectives, whether as part of a regular pulse-taking exercise or a one-off survey focusing on individual departments or initiatives. When conducted effectively, employee engagement surveys can enhance workplace culture and create an effective, engaged and motivated workforce. In a customer-facing business, this could in turn improve customer satisfaction. Our team provides our support and expertise throughout the entire project, and we take pride in our personal, no-nonsense service.
Factors that can be measured with employee engagement surveys range from what employees expect from your company, and how important these expectations are to their experience, to how changes could be put in place to enhance employees' experience and satisfaction with your company. Furthermore, they help to identify what requirements employees identify as important to them personally, which training opportunities would be beneficial, how they view HR, and whether staff feel engaged, and how they view you as an employer.
When building our employee engagement surveys, depending on your requirements, questions can be targeted at specific areas of the employee experience. For example, participants could be asked to comment on the working environment, perception of the quality of management, salary, training requirements, factors affecting their performance, progression opportunities or their individual work/life balance, and overall employee satisfaction levels.
Employees are the people who are closest to operational issues and customer concerns; by creating an open dialogue with them through measurable surveys and feedback, you can obtain actionable information about how to maximise the performance of your business. For instance, a CIPD survey found that one in three workers (32%) felt like they had too much work, and up to one in four workers reported intense and stressful working conditions, such as feeling exhausted, miserable or stressed.
Our employee engagement surveys aim to tease out these hidden feelings that may be creating barriers to your success. Our findings are always presented in a clear and visual style so that you can easily understand how different departments and teams think and feel. Here, and where appropriate, we provide segmented results and make recommendations for future training and development.
Survey PR is an often forgotten yet important part of employee satisfaction and organisational research. With that in mind our findings offer more than mere statistics as our approach is centred around making the most of your research. Our project plans include an internal PR plan and communication templates for every important stage of the research process. This includes your all important a post research plans for refinement.
