In every business, surveys play a vital role. Whether it is an employee survey, retention survey, attitude survey, or
exit surveys, every organization needs to understand the requirements and concerns of their employees to make them stay for long in their organization. Understanding the precise concerns of employees is a difficult task and quite challenging. In order to ease this difficulty, employment surveys are designed.
These surveys help to know different aspects about the ideas and feelings of employees about their employer and working environment. There are many advantages associated with employment surveys, such as streamlining communications, assessing training needs, absenteeism, reducing turnover, reinforce supervision etc.
When an employee leaves a company for any reason, such as retirement, job change or any other rationale, then many companies perform exit surveys. These surveys contain general questions about the experience of the employees that can be either specific or general. The main motive to perform these surveys is to determine the precise reason of employee leaving the company. Another reason is to know how employee felt working in the company. In the survey, the employees are free to express about the attitude of the company towards the satisfaction of the employees, working environment and work culture.
The survey also covers questions, like level of satisfaction, overall experience, future plans after leaving the company, and many more. Additionally, the questionnaire of survey also requires personal information, like gender, age, marital status, previous employment records, department working in, details about family, and annual income of the employee. All this information helps the company to come at genuine and precise conclusions. Also, nowadays, some companies provide custom-designed questionnaire for
exit surveys for other companies. For better understanding, these surveys are available online and are analyzed using sophisticated software.
