Employee Engagement Survey Best Practices

Importance of Strategic Questions

  • It's crucial to be strategic about questions in an employee engagement survey.
  • "No stupid questions" might not apply when designing these surveys.

Engagement Index

  • Essential component of every engagement survey.
  • Measures engagement using core questions.
  • Provides an overview of employee engagement.

Effective Engagement Index Questions

  1. Pride in the Organization
    • "I am proud to work for [Company Name]."
  2. Recommendation
    • "I would recommend [Company Name] as a great place to work."
  3. Job Search Consideration
    • "I rarely think about looking for a job at another company."
  4. Future with the Company
    • "I see myself still working at [Company Name] in two years' time."
  5. Motivation
    • "[Company Name] motivates me to go beyond what I would in a similar role elsewhere."

Additional Key Factors

  • After the engagement index, include questions related to:
    • Leadership
    • Enablement
    • Alignment
    • Development

Question Types

  • Numerical Scale: Used for measuring index and lead questions.
  • Open-Ended Questions: Essential for qualitative data collection.
    • Example: "Is there something else you think we should have asked you in this survey?"
