It is a truism that engaged employees tend to be the most loyal and productive. Regularly measuring that engagement and identifying areas for improvement is critically important to any organisation committed to recruiting, motivating and developing its staff.

Using an external organisation for running employee surveys shows that the organisation takes employee opinion seriously and increases staff confidence in the survey and the confidentiality of responses.

Opinium offers a full employee research service, from consultation, survey design and distribution, to results analysis (broken down by business unit, location, department, job function etc), report generation and presentation.

Surveys can be online, paper based or a combination of the two. We have a tried and tested questionnaire template which is tailored to client needs. Standard questions cover key areas such as internal communications, working environment, work pressures, salaries, benefits, customer focus, empowerment, job security, line managers, senior managers, loyalty, morale, performance appraisals, personal recognition, recruitment, salaries, social activities, teamwork, training and career development.

We work closely with our clients to ensure that key stakeholders and managers buy into the survey process without prejudice or suspicion and that they encourage their staff to participate.

We advise on how best to communicate the survey and its findings effectively across the organisation and help facilitate follow-up workshops.
