Does Your Company Have a Pulse on Employee Opinion?

A spot on a “Best Places to Work” list would be cause for celebration for any organization.  Imagine the pride of each employee at a "best place to work" company, a company of leaders who obviously pride themselves in taking their employees’ needs into consideration.  It’s a show of respect for each and every one of the people who truly make the company what it is. 

In essence, a progressive company will listen to the individual opinions of its most valuable resource – its staff.  What works, what could be better, what has to change?  Attitude has a direct affect on productivity.  Listening to team members and implementing their suggestions improves morale.

Employee opinion surveys are essential to acquiring a full and clear picture of any organization’s workforce.  Professional analysis of survey results provides management a benchmark for incorporating workforce needs in planning for the company’s future.  Surveys should at a minimum be done annually and in every department, as well as with new hires and exiting employees.   

Most management experts believe that in order to run any enterprise, leaders must have your pulse on three central pieces of data - cash flow, customer opinion, and employee opinion.  Employee and customer opinions are also a crucial piece of data to any strategic planning process...These are critical in understanding the organization's internal and external environments.
