One of the most powerful things you can do for your employees is listen to them. Understanding what they need, what's working, and what could be better is the first step toward building a truly great workplace. But how do you get that feedback in a structured, actionable way?
With the Awards Surveys feature, you can easily gather valuable insights and make data-driven decisions. Here are three simple ways to get started.
1. Build an Employee Engagement Survey
Employee engagement surveys are one of the most effective tools for understanding how your people feel about their work, their team, and the company as a whole. A well-designed survey can help you identify areas where your organization is thriving and pinpoint opportunities for improvement.
When creating a survey, think about key areas like psychological safety, team dynamics, manager support, and professional growth. You can use a mix of question types, from multiple-choice to long-answer questions, to get both quantitative and qualitative feedback. Remember to keep the survey anonymous to encourage honest and candid responses.
2. Gather Feedback on a New Initiative
Did you just launch a new recognition program or company-wide initiative? A quick survey is a great way to gauge its effectiveness. Rather than waiting to see if it catches on, you can proactively ask for feedback on what's working and what's not.
For example, you could ask questions like:
- "How often do you use our new service anniversary program?"
- "What is your favorite part of the new initiative?"
- "What challenges have you faced when using the new program?"
You can even reward employees with a few points for taking the time to provide their valuable insights. This not only encourages participation but also shows that you appreciate their input.
3. Let Your Employees Nominate a Peer
Want to see who your employees think deserves a shout-out? Use the User Selection question type to let employees nominate a peer. This is a great way to collect nominations for awards or to identify people who are making an impact in a specific area.
For example, you could run a quarterly "Peer MVP" survey asking, "Who on your team consistently goes above and beyond to live our company values?"
This feature can help you uncover hidden gems and highlight employees who might otherwise be overlooked.
The Surveys feature is a powerful tool to help you get the pulse of your organization. By using it to gather feedback, you can ensure your company culture remains strong and that your people feel heard and valued.
