How Engaged Are Your Employees? - Employee Surveys with OptionPower

OptionPower Employee Surveys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When an employee is engaged or emotionally connected to his or her job, that employee is likely to put more effort into that job and less likely to search for other employment. To retain skilled talent it's vital for companies to be able to measure and understand employee engagement and job satisfaction and act quickly on the results. 

This knowledge is especially crucial during tough economic times, when employee engagement and morale typically suffer, and during the ensuing economic recovery, when the job market loosens and employee turnover increases. But getting honest feedback that you can use to retain employees isn’t always easy.

Our OptionPower interactive response system helps to accelerate the development, implementation and tabulation of employee surveys.  The system reduces the amount of time and hassle involved in creating survey questions as well as the time and expense of data collection and reporting.  Clients using OptionPower are able to create and rollout an employee survey in a single day.  Data collection, roll-up, tabulation and reporting of actionable results to executives and line managers can happen in just a few weeks.

The OptionPower Employee Survey Module is an add-on for our OptionPower software application.  It provides a complete library of tools to accelerate your survey process.  Employees use wireless handheld keypads to respond to the survey questions anonymously in team meetings.  Data collection happens quickly and easily.

OptionPower and the ESM ensure complete anonymity for your employees so you can find out what they’re really thinking. Best of all, survey response rates are consistently higher than those achieved with web or paper survey tools.

 The rules of engagement
A recent article in Business Week, "The Role of Employee Engagement in the Return to Growth," cites a survey conducted by the Corporate Executive Board of the Corporate Leadership Council, which found that "employees who are most committed to their organizations put forth 57 percent more effort and are 87 percent less likely to leave their company than employees who consider themselves disengaged."

The article goes on to state that simply using employee surveys to measure the levels of employee engagement is not enough. Understanding the reasons behind engagement or lack thereof can provide valuable insight and help companies create plans for increasing engagement and producing tangible business results. It's also important to be able to easily analyze survey results and use those results to produce meaningful and measureable organizational change.

One OTI client was able to reduce the time from survey rollout to reporting from 26 weeks to just six weeks.  They were able to provide every manager in the company with ten or more employees with a post-survey report while the data was still fresh and actionable.
