Human Resources Surveys

Use Human Resources Surveys to Improve Organizational Performance

Collecting feedback from employees and company stakeholders is critical to improving individual, team, and organizational performance. By scheduling key feedback mechanisms such as an employee attitude survey, a survey to collect employee training feedback and a salary survey—you will have the strategic information needed to stay competitive in the marketplace and measure the health of your company’s human capital.

Industry benchmarks are a useful way to determine what key performance indicators (KPIs)—such as employee turnover, likelihood to recommend, and overall satisfaction—should be for your company.  Once you’ve identified your KPIs, it’s easy to develop a recurring schedule of the online surveys needed to ensure you have regular metrics to evaluate. For example, if your short-term goal is to increase employee productivity by 10%, you could create a survey that asks questions about employees’ tasks, usage, problem areas, and frequency to take a baseline measurement and better understand the levers to help you increase their productivity. You could then conduct a follow-up online survey 6 months later to see if the changes you implemented have had the desired effect.

Creating human resources surveys doesn’t have to be difficult. Refer to the professionally-written employee satisfaction survey questions available through your online survey solution, or leverage templates previously created by others in your organization. Follow human resources survey design tips such as leading with the positive end of a rating scale and making skip logic questions mandatory.  Below you will find a few example human resources survey questions from Zoomerang online survey templates.
