It goes beyond job satisfaction to measure loyalty, motivation, and the intention to stay.
This glossary answers the most important questions about designing, using, and acting on employee commitment surveys to build a more engaged and stable workforce.
What is an employee commitment survey?

How do you analyze employee commitment survey results?

Sondaggi sul polso dei dipendenti:
Si tratta di brevi sondaggi che possono essere inviati frequentemente per verificare rapidamente cosa pensano i vostri dipendenti di un argomento. Il sondaggio comprende un numero ridotto di domande (non più di 10) per ottenere rapidamente le informazioni. Possono essere somministrati a intervalli regolari (mensili/settimanali/trimestrali).
Incontri individuali:
Organizzare riunioni periodiche di un'ora per una chiacchierata informale con ogni membro del team è un modo eccellente per farsi un'idea reale di ciò che sta accadendo. Poiché si tratta di una conversazione sicura e privata, aiuta a ottenere maggiori dettagli su un problema.
eNPS:
L'eNPS (employee Net Promoter score) è uno dei metodi più semplici ma efficaci per valutare l'opinione dei dipendenti sulla vostra azienda. Include una domanda intrigante che misura la fedeltà. Un esempio di domande eNPS è il seguente: Quanto è probabile che raccomandi la nostra azienda ad altri? I dipendenti rispondono al sondaggio eNPS su una scala da 1 a 10, dove 10 indica che è "altamente probabile" che raccomandino l'azienda e 1 indica che è "altamente improbabile" che la raccomandino.
In base alle risposte, i dipendenti possono essere classificati in tre diverse categorie:
- Promotori
Dipendenti che hanno risposto positivamente o sono d'accordo. - Detrattori
Dipendenti che hanno reagito negativamente o in disaccordo. - Passivi
I dipendenti che sono rimasti neutrali nelle loro risposte.
What should you do after conducting an employee commitment survey?
Post-survey steps should include:
- Sharing a summary of results with employees to promote transparency
- Identifying high- and low-performing areas across teams or departments
- Developing action plans based on key findings
- Assigning responsibilities for follow-up activities
- Measuring impact by comparing results over time
- Continuously improving the survey process for future assessments
How can employee survey tools help in commitment measurement?
Survey tools simplify and enhance the measurement process by offering:
- Pre-built templates with customizable questions
- Automated distribution and data collection
- Real-time dashboards and analysis features
- Anonymous response options for candid feedback
- Comparison features to benchmark data internally or externally
