Employee surveys

Studies show that it pays to keep your employees happy. First off, companies' annual average turnover ranges from 15-40%, depending on the industry. In addition, it costs 10 times more to hire and train an employee than to retain one. Finally, research shows that satisfied, motivated employees will keep customers satisfied and thereby maximise organisational performance.

However many employees you have, it's vital to efficiently find out what they think. Key Survey not only gives you a means to gather all kinds of information; it helps you focus on what's valuable and relevant. You can also seamlessly integrate Key Survey with existing data sources, opening the door for all kinds of specialised and targeted applications

Dynamic, web-based employee surveys now play an increasingly important role in both larger and medium-sized companies. Distributing employee surveys online has proven superior to other forms of survey deployment for one major reason: in online surveys, we express ourselves more freely because we have complete anonymity.

With web-surveys, as employees, we appear more likely to share feedback and opinions in a more direct, honest and forthright manner than via paper surveys. Perhaps we psychologically feel that the web-based survey format offers us more complete anonymity than more traditional feedback mechanisms.

As a result, response data from online employee surveys can yield immensely valuable and actionable information on those critically important issues affecting employee morale and retention.

organisations now deploy employee surveys regularly to gather data on a wide variety of topics including:

• health and benefits studies
• job satisfaction surveys
• job applications, management perception
• exit interviews
• company culture
• retention analysis
• tests and course evaluations
