Planning and preparation for your survey

Planning and preparation for your survey

Overview:

Taking some time to plan and prepare your survey will ensure it's set up effectively and gets a good response rate from your staff. Here's what you'll need to consider:

Before you start:
  1. Think about participation and results: Consider how you'll encourage staff to participate and how you'll share the findings with them. More help on this in this section here.
  1. Develop an action plan: Plan how you'll use the survey results to improve staff wellbeing. This will make the survey more meaningful for everyone involved. There are some helpful suggestions in the 'action plan' section in your dashboard - take a look!
Be informed:
