Automating Paper Surveys Using OptionPower Employee Survey Module

Automate "Smile Sheets"

With pressure to lower costs and simultaneously increase quality and customer service, many companies are looking for ways to tap into the ideas of their employees for input to drive improvement.  Gathering this input properly can be difficult.  Traditional e-mail and paper surveys and group discussions can be time consuming to publish and administer, particularly in organizations where many employees don't use a computer as part of their job function.  Tabulating survey results can take days or weeks and response rates are often less than 30%.  

By using OTI’s OptionPower Employee Survey Module with OptionFinder wireless keypads, data tabulation is immediate and can be viewed in real time during or after your presentation to gain additional insight using a focus group approach.  All your employees have to do in order to vote on the choices listed is to select their option using the OptionFinder wireless keypad that they receive beforehand.  These keypads are extremely user friendly.  As employees view the polling results, facilitators can easily formulate question follow-ups to increase the effectiveness and outcome of the survey.  The OptionPower Employee Survey Module is an excellent solution for organizations that have employees working outside of an office evironment (e.g. warehouse, food service  factory workers, etc.).

Research shows that using OptionFinder wireless keypads provides participants a higher perceived anonymity than with paper or web surveys, resulting in higher response rates and more honest input.  This survey approach helps to improve profitability and organizational performance since leaders can identify root causes of employee disengagement and identify opportunities for performance breakthroughs.  They can quickly find strengths and areas of concern within the organization.  Investing in this research can be a morale booster for employees who may not have had many or any opportunities to confidently express their views.

When creating their PowerPoint slide deck using OptionPower, facilitators can either create their own questions or choose from a proprietary question bank.  The comprehensive library of employee perception sample survey questions includes a variety of topics including:

  • Labor and management relations
  • Teamwork and cooperation
  • Individual job satisfaction
  • Inter-department relations
  • Facilities
  • Communications
  • Benefits
  • Customers
  • Internal and external perceptions of the organization

 

Audience Response Employee Survey

Participants answer these questions via OptionFinder wireless keypads, where the data is gathered and instantly tabulated and updated on screen.  The OptionPower Employee Survey takes a few minutes to complete and tabulate, which saves the organization significant time and money.  After the survey, the facilitator may keep the data in PowerPoint or can quickly export to a variety of tabulated report formats in Excel.

Loyal employee input and effective business processes derived from this process result in increased customer satisfaction and profitable operations.  The OptionPower Employee Survey Module reduces work steps and potential errors in the survey process.  Use of this tool boosts survey response rates above 90% and provides more valid and accurate measures because of the perceived anonymity.  It insures greater success for your organization by making your meetings/presentations more valuable, accurate and cost-efficient.
