Getting Sentiment from Employees amidst change

We’ve been helping many of our customers navigate through these challenging times by hearing employee sentiment and understanding employee needs to get real-time insight.

Below are our recommendations of questions that you can use for your company.  They are meant to gather sentiment around both the current COVID-19 crisis, and around changing experiences as a result of remote working.  Customers have chosen one, or both in their surveys – you can choose what works for your organization:

  1. Our organization has taken appropriate action in response to COVID-19.
  2. Senior Leadership does a good job of sharing information regarding COVID-19.
  3. Senior Leadership cares about my health and safety.
