What to Avoid in Employee Surveys

Lack of involvement of the organization’s leadership

1. Failure to communicate how survey findings will be used
2. Failure to build employee confidence in the privacy policy
3. Failure to communicate findings with employees in a timely manner (don’t let the findings grow stale)
4. Not meeting employee expectations and not addressing employee expectations resulting from the employee survey
5. Breaching the privacy policy – especially singling out employees for their feedback. This will adversely impact subsequent surveys.
