To find out what percentage of your employees are disengaged, carefully conduct an employee survey with an outside firm if possible and listen to their advice on test taking – whether to use a census or a survey, which questions to include, what response rates are acceptable, etc. There are many wonderful organizations that do this kind of research. We recommend The Jackson Organization at www.jacksonorganization.com.
Sample survey questions:
- I have the equipment and tools to do my job
- I am regularly recognized for great work
- We work together as a team
- Management provides clear expectations
- My manager notices great performances
- I feel informed about important developments in the company
- My manager does not play favorites
- I would recommend this company to a friend looking for employment
- Management is honest and ethical in all their dealings
- We care about each other here
- As a team, we celebrate regularly
- This is a fun place to work
