7 Best Practices For Conducting Employee Engagement Surveys

Hiring great people is one thing. However, to achieve growth and success, the key lies in retaining them over the longer term.

Employee engagement is a crucial part of talent retention because engaged employees are more satisfied with what they do. They find fulfilment in achieving their tasks and they are happy working with their colleagues and assisting your customers.

How your employees feel towards their job also impacts the ways they deliver results and contribute to the overall goals of your business.

So, how do you measure their engagement? By conducting an employee engagement survey.

When done correctly, it can help you assess employee situations better and gain helpful insights for overall business improvement.

How things be different for your business in the ‘new normal’ of 2020

In the past few weeks, we’ve witnessed the impact of COVID-19 on the global workforce.

An estimated 2.7 billion employees globally have shifted to working remotely due to lockdowns and social distancing measures. There were also unfortunate cases of layoffs because some businesses were forced to close.

As every organisation struggled to survive during the crisis, the Human Resources (HR) stood on the frontlines, guiding employees, adapting policies and improving systems to ensure that the productivity of operations and workers remained.

This means the HR team will once again play an important role in assisting employees and implementing new processes.
