employee-feedback-surveyBusinesses are constantly evolving and looking for ways to implement changes that improve growth and development.  Employees are an excellent resource for gathering important feedback via internal surveys and forms. Whether a business is large or small, feedback surveys generate important and meaningful data, that businesses can use to make informed business improvements. Feedback surveys are a great tool for businesses to gather representative and relevant data to to drive decision-making, streamline workflows, improve company processes, make data-driven business changes, and much more.

All internal business processes and practices should be consistently reviewed and streamlined in ways that will make the business function more effectively and efficiently. Internal management deals with many areas that need consistent review and can benefit greatly from data generated from regular feedback surveys, including:

  • Employee satisfaction: Employee satisfaction is a measure of how pleased workers are with their jobs and working environment. Keeping morale high can be a tremendous benefit to any company, as happy workers are more likely to be productive, take fewer days off, and remain loyal to the company. An employee satisfaction survey can generate important feedback surrounding employee morale, and they can be great tools to identify specific problem areas.
  • Professional development: Professional development encompasses all types of facilitated learning opportunities across the business. It can include training opportunities, formal academic coursework, conferences, and informal learning opportunities. An essential component of professional development activities involves ongoing feedback review.
  • Company culture: Company cultures evolve and they change over time. New employees bring their own values and practices to the culture of the company. As the company evolves, so does the environment in which it operates (regulations, laws, business climate, etc.), forcing a change to the company culture. It is important to monitor the company culture as changes occur, whether they are major or minor changes.
  • Company policies and procedures: Company policies and procedures establish rules and guidelines of conduct within a business, outlining the responsibilities of both employees and employers. As with company culture, policy and guideline changes are also constantly evolving. Involving feedback from various departmental representatives provides insight into how and what policies and procedures need to be outlined. Manuals should be written only after feedback is collected from all affected departments, allowing a more comprehensive approach to organizational guidelines.
