Workplace Satisfaction
Act on Survey Results
Understanding the Issue
This simple statement reflects how strongly employees believe there is a purpose in providing honest and truthful responses to the survey. High scores represent employees who are confident that management will review the results and implement change in the areas highlighted. Low scores reflect low confidence that changes will be made and the feeling that employee concerns are falling on deaf ears. This theme compliments Improvements Have Been Made in the Past Year. Rather than measure whether employees have seen improvements over the last year, this reflects the belief that management will act on the results moving forward.

Why is this Important?
This is an important snapshot of how strongly employees believe that change can occur within their organization. A poor result suggests employees believe that issues within the workplace will go unaddressed. This has a negative effect on employee engagement and long-term satisfaction. It is important that organizations strongly communicate their intent to improve and evolve for the better. Employee surveys are effective tools that help underscore the strengths and opportunities of organizations. To receive meaningful results, employees must not only participate but also feel confident their feedback will be acted upon. If management can address pressing issues, employees will feel satisfied their feedback is being heard.
