Debunking the Myths Part 2: Employee Satisfaction Surveys Unleashed!

In the last employee survey myth blog, we busted some myths surrounding the implementation of employee satisfaction surveys. Now let’s dive into two common myths about feedback and results. After all, employee satisfaction surveys should be conducted with a purpose and with a goal in mind to implement positive change.

Myth number 4: Survey feedback doesn't lead to meaningful change

Some might believe that Employee satisfaction surveys don’t lead to meaningful change, but they are actually a powerful tool as long as companies use the feedback properly. In order to turn survey feedback into meaningful change, the data must be analyzed and interpreted to identify trends, patterns, and areas that require improvement. After all, feedback is only useful if it is being used. If companies let employees share their opinions, then they have a better idea of what the work environment is really like. Feedback takes away the guessing game aspect of trying to understand how positively or negatively a company is functioning. Feedback and how it is being used should also be shared within the company, including with employees.

Being transparent and communicating survey findings and what decisions are being influenced by them, raises employee morale. When companies take accountability, employees can trust that their voices matter and that the company values them. By implementing improvements based on feedback, employee satisfaction goes up as well as future engagement.

Myth number 5: Survey results will only highlight problems

Although there is an impression that employee satisfaction survey results will only highlight problems at a company, surveys can also highlight a company’s strengths. When a company can clearly see what aspects are working, they can continue to build on those and continue a pattern of success in those areas. This positive data can be presented to employees and even those outside of the company, giving cause for celebration.

By being a window into the employee experience, the survey results all companies understand what needs should be met and the best ways to invest in employee growth. Survey results can also inspire creative solutions by giving employees an avenue to share their ideas and suggestions. They can even help identify departments and individual employees who are performing well, leading to positive recognition, and rewarding feelings.
