Staff Opinion Survey

If you’re considering doing employee surveys, whether they’re staff opinion surveys or job satisfaction surveys, consider conducting them online. Cvent clients who switched from the paper-and-pencil survey method to web based surveys saw a dramatic increase in survey responses. Using an online survey software company such as Cvent has a number of benefits, including:

• Reducing concerns about anonymity
• Using email reminders to decrease survey abandonment
• Gaining more insight into employee opinions due to longer responses
• Collecting data quickly and conveniently via the web
• Detecting “ballot box stuffing” by limiting the number of responses

If you're part of a high-tech company or a small firm, you’re likely to see the highest response rates from using Internet surveys. Surveyors conducting employee surveys should aim for a 75 percent response rate. Following best practices could yield response rates as high as 80 percent to 90 percent.

If you’re currently surveying employees and getting less than a 65 percent rate of response, sign up for one of our product demonstrations to learn more about how you can increase response rates for your HR surveys.
