Best Practice Tool for Organizational Health: The Team Survey
Why do an annual Team Survey?
An annual, anonymous survey is a great way to safely gauge the concerns, guidance and ideas from everyone on your team. The survey is a very valuable way to collect data for the development of an annual Game Plan and for establishing budgets and goals for the next year.
How it impacts your team:
A survey confirms that leaders respect the input and involvement of each individual, regardless of role or tenure. Because it allows all to have a place to contribute to the annual Game Plan, it has the “side effect” of truly getting everyone’s buy in and commitment to the plan, since they had a voice in the plan’s development.
How it Works:
- We recommend that the survey is conducted by an outside trusted source who will ensure the responses are kept anonymous and reported without prejudice to the business owner/leadership team. Some team members feel threatened if the survey is conducted in-house, so their answers may not be as truthful as you need. People may offer what you want to hear, not their real opinion.
- Typically, the survey is conducted online but can also be performed face to face if the business has less than 10 employees being surveyed. There are 8-10 recommended questions and it should take each person less than 30 minutes to complete. Questions can also be added to address particular goals or processes that may be of concern.
- The owner/leadership team will receive a detailed report of the results. We can also meet with the leadership team to interview them and make recommendations based on the Survey results.
