Staff attitude surveys

Burton OD works with organisations from the private, public and not-for-profit sectors to survey and measure employee attitudes and engagement. The analysis coming out of a survey enables us to clearly identify what drives people's motivation and engagement and what restrains it and then present these in easily understood themes to leadership teams and staff.
These two forces - the drivers and the restrainers - act like the accelerator and brake peddles on a car. However hard you try to accelerate (reinforcing the driver forces), nothing will happen if the brake (the restraining forces) is being firmly applied.
It is, therefore, as important to know what stops people from being fully engaged in helping to achieve their organisation's aims, as it is to know what motivates them. Our careful analysis identifies the factors that make up these forces and enables us to present a clear picture of the current state of things - and make recommendations for improvement.
 
As a result of understanding the  driving and  restraining forces of employee engagement, our clients have been able to:
  • improve internal communications so that people better understand what the organisation is trying to achieve and what their customers want
  • identify and address "the simple things" (not having the right tools and equipment, enduring cumbersome and repetitive processes and paperwork etc) so that these don't frustrate people on a regular basis and effect the quality and quantity of their work 
  • build management skills so that people feel encouraged to come up with ideas and take responsibility for getting the job done
  • understand people's views on learning, development and career opportunities so that key talent and knowledge is retained
Often, clients will commission Burton OD to design and implement a fully tailored employee survey that addresses strategic issues as well as engagement topics. But for those organisations which wish to investigate employee attitudes by using a balanced, but standardised survey - or wish to look into particular topics in more detail - Burton OD has a range of solutions.
