The Session
Without a well designed plan, employee surveys can become just another activity that professionals administer, review the report and then file. After time, the usefulness may diminish as employees lose interest if they don’t see any action taken on the information gleaned.
This session will look at the best practices in the various steps of employee surveys from designing to acting on the data. You will leave with a plan that you can use to introduce surveys to your management or to help improve your current process.
Learn strategies for getting the best results from these surveys from the combined experience of both an internal practitioner and an external expert on
Diann will offer the unique perspective of working with employee surveys as the internal staff person in both the private and public sector. She will address some of the differences in the public sector where there are unions as well as public scrutiny. She will also share how the information was used at her organization and the improvements that have resulted from three surveys over a six year period.
Dave will address how to introduce the survey concept, as well as some of the important considerations of constructing the survey to meet those challenging critics of “is this data valid?” So bring your experiences, challenges and questions to a lively interchange on making the most out of employee surveys and how they can drive initiatives that improve the organization.
