Many times top level managers of the company follow certain practices just to determine the performance of the organization besides financial statements.
According to many managers the necessity to conduct hr surveys comes into knowledge to identify the hurdles that affect the performance. They also affect the communication and also have an impact on the productivity and morale of the employees. It brings into light the weak area of the staff and thus the need of training and increases the interest of the managers in the employees’ say.
Similarly, board of directors also have their reasons for the need of
hr surveys. First one is to provide information for the workforce as well as workplace management for sake of the evaluation of management. Secondly, it is useful to have an idea what the current employees think about the company. Employees can also give suggestions for the things they would like to improve about the company. Through the surveys, the board members come to know that all of the employees are treated fairly and good employees are retained by the organisation. The employee’s attitude survey is therefore an excellent choice to give a detailed overview of the workplace that has to be managed rather than just an individual manager.
Further, these surveys are useful to determine the areas where employees are satisfied and where they are not. The obstacles can be determined and therefore improve the overall productivity of the company. The success of the
hr surveys depends upon the objective set for the survey. If the result of surveys have to be used for planning then these must be conducted two or three months earlier to planning. If the survey has to be used as an input for the evaluation of the management then it must take place at the end of financial year. Board members must consider the progress of the objectives accomplished. Thus, it will ensure the success of the human resource survey.
