Types of Employee Surveys

1. Job Evaluation: A classic but fundamental employee survey, questions on employee motivation, general attitude and overall satisfaction about the company are covered. Respondents are asked whether or not the job requirements are clear, whether a path for career advancement is clear, and if they would refer a friend to work at the company.
2. Career Training & Development: This survey gives respondents the opportunity to rate various aspects of the company, giving answers on a scale for “very satisfied” to “very dissatisfied”.

3. Employee Exit Interview: This survey seeks to analyze a respondent’s attitude when leaving the company. You can address several topics, including reason for leaving, in addition to overall satisfaction of the job itself, perception of management, as well as attitude towards direct supervisor.
4. Manager Evaluation: The management survey covers basic aspects of supervision. For example, How was communication? How about direction and feedback? You can give your respondents multi-line textfields to fill in detailed description about their experiences with upper management and how it affected their job performance.
