Create a clear definition of why you are conducting a survey. What is the business issue you are trying to solve?
Obtaining commitment from your senior leadership team to the employee survey and the implementation process.
How the results will be shared and with whom. Sharing at least some of the results with all employees is critical.
How you will communicate information about the employee survey. Transparency about your employee survey will encourage employees to participate and support the results.
Ways to obtain commitment from all levels of leadership for implementation. Senior leaders must set the tone that the employee survey and the outcomes are a strategic priority. Functional leaders will need to implement change initiatives.
As the project owner, do you have the support of your leader to provide the resources you need to be successful?
Should you partner with a consultant to assist you in the design and implementation of the employee survey to help you ensure the project is a success?
