Having just completed our first external Employee Engagement Survey, I would strongly recommend working with Kaye Massey from Listen To Your Team.
We decided to use a survey provider as we felt that using an external company the team would have the trust that the survey would be totally anonymous with the hope that staff would be more confident to participate. This worked extremely well for our company as we received at 92% response rate and I know from past experience trying to do this myself would not have been anywhere near as successful as using a provider. I personally found it extremely hard work and difficult to manage internally, the feedback I received would have only reflected a small minority, however the 92% received from Listen To Your Team is a great representation of the views and opinions of our team.
From design consultation to producing a bespoke survey tailored towards our business and the delivery of the results to the Leadership team Kaye was with me every step of the way and nothing was too much trouble. Kaye was extremely knowledgeable, supportive and flexible with her approach, this really helped get our survey off the ground.
The survey itself was user friendly for the team using relevant terminology for our business so that the staff could relate, the results were as simplified as they could be to ensure understanding and we were also offered some practical suggestions for improvements.
All in all, the service was superb, the cost very reasonable and we most definitely will be engaging with Listen To Your Team in the future, we have already signed up for the next three years!
We are now very much looking forward to working with our staff and making some improvements that this survey has allowed us to identify in our business.
