In the journey of building a sustainable workplace, employee experience is a critical factor. In reality, many talented employees leave a company not necessarily because of salary, but because they lack a positive work experience – from company culture and management style to career development opportunities.

As employee needs become increasingly diverse, keeping up with “benefit trends” and listening to employees’ voices is just as important as monitoring external market movements. One of the most effective and reliable tools that continues to prove its long-term value is the regular employee survey.

With the goal of listening to act, employee surveys remain a traditional yet timeless channel. As long as surveys are well-designed and employees are motivated to participate, organizations can collect meaningful data to improve everything from workplace culture to people strategy.

Key considerations for more effective employee surveys:

- Smart questionnaires tailored to different groups: Gen Z, Gen Y, Millennials… each generation has different priorities.

- Incorporate multiple perspectives: Not only HR but also functional departments should provide input to reflect the specific nature of each role.

- Convenience and accessibility: Use tools like Google Forms, Monkey Survey… so employees can respond quickly, anytime, anywhere.

- Ensure complete anonymity: This is essential for employees to feel safe sharing honest feedback.

- Connect with real data: Compare survey results with metrics such as turnover rate, performance, and engagement levels for a comprehensive view.

Employee surveys are not just an annual procedure, but a commitment to listen and act. When carried out effectively, they serve as a valuable channel to help organizations identify strengths and areas for improvement, thereby reinforcing both culture and people strategy.
