The principles of the survey are as follows.

A generic questionnaire with questions and attributes derived from hundreds of such studies, as well as qualitative inputs from employees around the globe.

You are able to customise the questionnaire to a limited extent.
Alert your employees that you are running this survey and they can complete the questionnaire online or in paper format.
Responses from your employees remain completely anonymous.
Standard analysis and reporting format.

PROCEDURE

Select the number of employees that you expect will complete the questionnaire and proceed to greenlight the go-ahead by clicking “Add to Order”.
You pay 50% of the fee when you order the survey. You can pay with PayPal, one of the leading credit cards or simply confirm the order and make the payment by bank transfer. The transfer details will be in your invoice, which you receive within minutes of placing your order.
Immediately after placing your order, you will be routed to a short online questionnaire for you to complete. There are questions about the language(s) you wish to run the survey in, the number of staff you have within each department by grade and you can indicate your requirements for customisation in terms of the wording of questions. You can add up to 6 questions of your own.
This questionnaire also establishes if you prefer to circulate invitations for participation among your employees through an anonymous draw or if it is more practical for you to simply ask employees to register online (they will need a personal email account). Either way, your employees need a code (token) to access the questionnaire to ensure that one employee can only share their views once (to avoid so-called ballot stuffing).
You will also need to specify a password that the employees will use to access the questionnaire. This is an additional security measure over and above the token, to ensure only employees can answer the questionnaire.

We will modify the generic questionnaire for your employees to complete in your selected language(s). The questionnaire is available in any language.
We send you the link to access the questionnaire – either for online completion or to print a paper version – and, in case you have opted for the anonymous draw, a list of tokens.
We will provide you a live reporting link so that you can view the number of employees who have completed the questionnaire and scan responses. This to give you a feel about the results as the survey progresses.
We set the survey up for you within 72 hours.

You alert your staff that you are running an employee engagement survey and circulate the link and/or tokens.
From the online reporting you can assess if the completion rate is too low in certain departments and encourage all staff within them to participate.

The survey will remain open for a maximum period of 6 weeks and closes thereafter or earlier on your instructions.
We will prepare your report within 72 hours (in English only) after closing the survey. We will share a preview of your report (selected questions) before you settle your final payment and you can download the full report after paying the balance of our fee.
The report will be in PowerPoint with narration.

THE QUESTIONNAIRE

The questionnaire principally draws understanding from three perspectives:

Rating the level of agreement with positively phrased statements (attributes) on a 10-point Likert scale with 1 meaning “Completely disagree” and 10 “Completely agree”.
Ranking the importance of the attributes in descending order. Most employee engagement surveys do not include importance, but it is essential information in order to identify critical issues with low satisfaction scores and high levels of importance.
Open ended questions for more qualitative feedback from you employees.

Report Analyses

The report includes various analyses of sets of attributes grouped by topic.
Analyses are by topic, by groups of topic and consolidated across all topics: overall index.
Other than department-wise analyses, and subject to the number of employees, they include those by level of seniority in the organisation, length of service, age group and gender.

The report draws on the following analyses tools:

Cross tabulations presented in tables.

Bar charts to illustrate percentages.

Combo charts showing percentages and means.

Gap analysis visually dividing attributes into four quadrants:

“Critical”: poorly performing attributes of above average importance.
“Excellent”: attributes with high performance and of above average importance.
“Nice to Have”: poorly performing attributes, but with below average importance.
“Nice to Know:” attributes with high performance, but with below average importance.

Correspondence analysis: a statistical tool that from the data seeks relationships between – as shown in the example below – attributes and departments. This helps to identify which potentially remedial measures impact multiple attributes and scores of departments.
