5 Reasons Why HR Needs To Invest In Employee Pulse Surveys

Work has been challenging for everyone lately.

In particular, employees are having to bear the responsibility of producing consistent results despite the unprecedented turbulence and recent disruptions.

As part of a company’s HR or Management team, you have to check in on them more frequently to assess:

  • their overall welfare and mental health
  • if they feel sufficiently supported across all aspects of their job and
  • if they have the means to succeed, despite working remotely or under unusual conditions.

Most businesses have been doing this through lengthy surveys. Unfortunately, these tend to not be very effective in resolving employee engagement issues.

To bridge this gap between survey results and employee engagement, more companies are now investing in pulse surveys. Here’s what you need to know about pulse surveys and how they can address your business’ needs.

QWL: The Best Way To Conduct Employee Engagement Surveys

Employee engagement surveys, as discussed in our previous blog, have an important role in collating and understanding your team’s levels of motivation, involvement and satisfaction towards your company and the work they do.

Most of the time, employee engagement surveys are conducted through generic ready made pulse surveys that can include an option of creating your own questions.

While this is the default option, a Quality of Work Life (QWL) engagement survey offers a much higher and more useful level of insight.

Here’s why conducting a QWL engagement survey can help your business in many ways by learning more about your staff.

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.
