Having a good understanding of one of your core customer groups, your employees, is an important aspect of accomplishing business goals and achieving your strategic plan. There are many vendors who can help develop and implement an employee satisfaction survey process which includes assessing the corporate climate, understanding employee needs and analyzing feedback.

Other thoughts:
- A well thought out and clear communication of the “why” the survey is done is important. Employees need to know the organization desires to create a positive employee experience.
- Employees will only be as honest as they feel their anonymity is protected.
- Offer incentives for employees to fill out the survey or make an event out of it.
- Turn data gathered from the survey into an action plan for improvement
- Communicate what was learned and what the organization plans to do to make improvements.
- Train managers to not overreact to negative comments but to use them as a growth opportunity.
- Make sure plan is implemented by incorporating into employee goals. If nothing is done with the feedback, it is worse than if you had not asked the questions. Be committed to making changes.

I have conducted employees work place satisfaction survey, scaling is 1 to 5 how should i determin , Highly satisfied, satisfied, neutral , dissatisfied and Highly Dissatisfied
Hi thanks for the comment. If I understand the questions, using a scale of 1-5 with 5 being highly satisfied, 3 being satisfied and 1 being highly dissatisfied, I would not use neutral, but satisfied as mid-scale. Please let me know if this answers the question, if not please let me know.
