Keep Remote Employees Engaged w/ One Click Feedback Surveys

Using Employee Feedback Surveys to Keep Remote Employees Engaged for your 'work from home' Team

A huge percentage of the worlds’ workforce is now virtual and works remotely at home.

Perhaps they have always been remote or perhaps it is new due to the Coronavirus.

Either way, managers are seeking successful ways to increase their employees engagement without being face to face to oversee performance and many are really struggling.

We are seeing record highs of employee turnover throughout 2021 and while there are several factors, employee engagement (or lack of) is toward the top of that employee turnover list.

Remote employees are 3x more likely to be engaged if they receive feedback from their manager at least a few times per month.

Post Meeting Employee Feedback

Most employees have agreed that their company has too many meetings.

Allowing employees to share feedback directly after each meeting has allowed companies of all sizes understand employee feedback metrics around meeting effectiveness and quickly pivot where necessary.

Using Emojis to Capture Employee Feedback at Work

If you are working to improve employee performance then you need to also improve employee engagement.

Employee feedback surveys can be a great way to get an employee happiness pulse check in a remote environment.

As many companies have shifted to a remote workplace we have seen a strong increase in companies using emojis to help communication in the workplace.

Top companies are leveraging emojis to open communication and gather feedback.

By asking a simple question with a clear emoji answer set, it allows the employee to quickly respond with a simple click on the emoji.

This can be embedded into an email signature or sent out in a weekly pulse check.

Legal Consultant - Court User Feedback

A legal consultant who works with courts around the country leverages the thumbs up/thumbs down emoji.

Given the first-of-its-kind-nature of the project, she wasn’t sure what questions would be appropriate to ask so it was also important that the feedback questions were customizable.

Smiley face responses alone were a deal breaker.

She explained, “It didn’t feel right to expect court users to select ‘happy’ during court cases where very serious matters are at stake, so the thumbs up/down, open text field and custom inputs were great options to get the feedback we needed while being sensitive to the context.”

Logistics Company - Feedback from Customers

A logistics company uses the smiley emoji’s to understand how their employees are happy with their role, manager and other aspects of their business.

They also leverage free text comments to allow for additional information.
