Employee Opinion SurveysEmployee sensing is a critical part of any positive employee relations initiative or high-performance workplace culture. Assessments can sift through the "symptoms" and identify the actual issues that need to be resolved to ensure a positive climate characterized by high productivity. Once we have identified these issues we can partner with you to develop appropriate solutions and strategies to move your organization forward. Assessments can be conducted using individual interviews, intact work group focus groups, or utilizing The Align Survey™ a state-of-the-art employee opinion survey process. The Align Survey™ differs from many other surveys in that it is designed to be a part of a total survey-guided organization development process, rather than an end-product in itself. As many informed users are discovering, this is an important distinction. Armed with the survey data, the management team is equipped to facilitate intact work group feedback and action planning meetings wherein employees are actively involved in issue resolution and problem solving. From a positive employee relations and preventative labor relations perspective, this process facilitates teamwork and two-way communication, and demonstrates management’s willingness and ability to adequately represent its employees. What The Align Survey™ Measures The core survey is designed to measure a wide range of topics typically of concern to employees in various organizations. The survey questionnaire addresses employee attitudes about:
• Work Activities In addition to the core of proven and meaningful questions, The Align Survey™ can be expanded to include customized questions which allow management to examine needs and concerns unique to each organization. Participants are also given ample opportunity to provide written comments through open questions which are reported verbatim in the Executive Summary Report.
