Conduct employee surveys? Yes, of course! 

Did you also answer yes to this question? Then you're in good company, because 90% of companies give exactly the same answer—and have done so for around 40 years! (Frieg & Hossiep, 2018)

Already in 2018 up to 90% of all companies in the DACH region (un)regularly conduct surveys of their employees (Frieg & Hossiep, 2018).

Employee surveys have become an established tool for many companies to promote employee satisfaction and retention while also improving the organizational climate.

Particularly in times of demographic change and increased competition for highly skilled employees, employer attractiveness is at the center of strategic corporate decisions.  

What’s the worst job you’ve ever had? 

Have you decided to take the plunge and start conducting pulse surveys in your organization? 

In modern working life, where organizations constantly have to deal with change and competition, employee wellbeing and a healthy working environment are not unimportant factors – they are fundamental pillars that underpin the success of the organization. 

When employees feel engaged, they identify with the organization, its values, and take responsibility for contributing to its success. 

In an ever-evolving market, with new technology, new competitors, changing competency requirements, and shifting employee expectations, there is an ongoing need for a strong focus on leadership development.

Ramboll Pulse Surveys are short and frequent surveys designed to regularly measure employee engagement and other strategic aspects both across the entire organization and within individual departments. 

With the leadership role comes increased status and influence.

So, how did it go? That's often the first question our clients ask after a workplace assessment or other well-being surveys are completed.
