3 Tips to Improve Your Employee Survey Results

Frequently gauging how your employees are feeling about working for your organization through employee surveys is important to cultivating a strong company culture. Once you gather the information though, what do you do to improve results? 

Here are three tips to help:  

#1 Share the Results

This seems obvious, but it doesn’t always happen. Leaders should share the results of the survey in a timely manner with their team. Everyone will know you’ve done a survey and many will want to see the results. Be completely transparent. Don’t shy away from disclosing the good, the bad, and even the ugly. If you never share the results, or do it months later, improvements to scores will be much less likely. 

#2 Act on Results

Once results are shared, act on them. Make plans to improve one or two specific areas and then follow through with those plans.

#3 Communicate Changes

Once plans have been put into motion, share frequent updates with your team. When your team realizes you are acting on what they’ve said, it will improve future results.

Being consistent with conducting employee surveys frequently and then sharing results, acting on those results, and communicating changes made will not only improve the survey results in the future, but it will also strengthen your company’s culture.
