Sharing
Results with Employees
| Sharing
the survey results with employees and including them in the
strategic plan is critical to successfully strengthening the
organization. Employees do not expect that every issue be
addressed, but they do expect for management to follow up on
some of the problems. For detailed examples, watch the "Best
Practices" videos from Forum 2001. |

| Results
can be released in several settings. Organization meetings,
departmental meetings, and employee training programs are
the most common. You may consider releasing the results in a
newsletter or via e-mail. The Executive Summary
is idea to release to the Employees because it contains
graphical representations of the data and does not overwhelm
them with details. Excel data files are also provided to put
the data into a form that might be more meaningful to your
specific needs. |
| The
amount of data to release is a decision for the organization to
make. The act of releasing data is the most critical
step. Traditionally, survey results were rarely released to the
employees, and today, employees feel skeptical about the
opportunity to review the results. Once the results are released,
the skepticism fades, and employees become more interested in the
improvements that are to be made than in the detail of the
results. |
