Innovative Way to Capture Employee Feedback Surveys without Email Links

Collect employee feedback with these innovative ideas companies are using as an alternative to sending emails with survey links.

Can you relate to losing employees due to low morale or leaving work day after day with the weight of a negative company culture? We feel ya. Every company has been there. Employee feedback is such a great source of information not only to reduce turnover but to make everyones work days more enjoyable. And the solution is simple. SurveyStance has an innovative way companies can implement an employee feedback survey and capture feedback, ideas, suggestions and more from employees. An in depth survey sent to associates via email is the traditional approach we see companies take… or asking the tough questions in exit interviews when its too late. Sure, the traditional email survey may still work for detailed annual surveys, but let’s bring you up to speed on how you should be capturing feedback that will make a difference. Feedback Kiosks are the newest way companies are capturing real time feedback from employees on an ongoing basis. Why? Because they are quick and easy, convenient and fun!

Feedback Kiosks are easy to use terminals. Employees can give quick feedback on the kiosks that are placed placed around the office. As an example, the feedback can be on various topics such as “Do you feel valued at XYZ Company?”. Additionally, as employees give the company anonymous feedback the results are sent to the web based portal. The survey admins can access a range of reports and dashboard to review feedback and trending.

How do I get anonymous employee feedback?

Employee feedback really should be anonymous and that is one of the best parts of the Employee Feedback Kiosks. Employees will be more truthful when giving feedback about their managers if they know the feedback is anonymous. Studies have shown that even email surveys that claim ‘anonymous’ still come with a level of employee skepticism. By capturing employee engagement feedback on a kiosk can help build employee/manager trust and confidence.

Co-Founder and COO of Tutor the People, Eliza Nimmich, has been focused on capturing employee feedback and has experienced similar findings.

Through engaging with the team and ensuring the input remains confidential, we have seen an increase in completion rates. Sharing the conclusions summary and acting on feedback will guarantee that subsequent surveys are indeed well received.

Questions to ask for Feedback from Employees?

We have worked with a wide range of companies around the world. Because we have worked with so many companies to capture Employee Feedback we can help you create and setup your survey questions. As an example, we found it best to ask employees questions like “How was your workday today?”. Another option is ‘Would you recommend XYZ Company to a friend or family member?”. This is a typical NPS (Net Promotor Score) type questions that helps determine if the employee is happy or not.

Matt Scott, owner of Termite Survey, asks employees “what they like most and like least about their work, what holds them in the business and what will inspire them to pursue other options”. This allows managers to use that information to build ‘stay plans’ for the best performers. This strategy helps increase retention and prevents turnover. Matt has been a business owner in Silver Springs, Maryland for more than 10 years and continues to focus on employee feedback surveys for continuous improvement.

Ravi Parikh, CEO, RoverPass shared that they have tried numerous ways to take the temperature of the culture, and one way that was most effective was getting quotes from the employees to put on the ‘About Us’ page. They simply asked “What do you like about working here?”, and found it was enjoyable for everyone to learn what their employees liked best.

Where to use an Employee Feedback Survey?

An Employee feedback survey is key when trying to keep a pulse on employee happiness at all levels. This includes front line employee feedback, feedback about managers and leadership teams and even feedback about specific meetings that are being held (All Hand Meeting Feedback, Team Meeting Feedback).

We have found it best to keep the feedback loop open for employee feedback anytime the associates have something to share. Waiting for a quarterly or worse an annual survey limits the results to how happy the employee was in the point of time.
