Book Description
Abstract: No organization is immune from communications problems which often result in ineffective labor-management relations, wheel-spinning, loss of capable employees, and, ultimately, lagging profits. The Employee Attitude survey is the first step in improving communications and feedback. Employee perceptions and needs provide management with specific information on organizational health. Practical approaches and procedures are stressed and evaluated. An effective survey is conducted with consideration of: 1) specific need for an attitude survey; 2) costs, facilities needed, and communication with involved-groups; 3) understanding survey objectives and procedures; 4) effective questionaire development and administration techniques; 5) implications of employee demographics; 6) methods of adequate data analysis; and 7) logistics for providing survey conclusions feedback to employees. A management consultant is often utilized to ensure objectivity in the survey.
