A number of companies are working on ways to survey their employees and find out how to retain them in tough economic times. They also want to keep the survey cost-effective and innovative.
One of the companies to launch their own survey is ORC International, a global market research company.
ORC says it has launched 'engage', a novel employee survey designed for small and mid-sized organisations.
The comprehensive package provides smaller organisations with access to a wide variety of customised survey tools for leavers, joiners and employee engagement, delivering results quickly and efficiently within a week.
Rory MacNeill, managing director of ORC International's employee research division, says: 'Small and mid-sized organisations need more cost-effective means of understanding and collecting feedback from employees. We understand the importance of giving these organisations access to validated questions, global benchmarking and reporting tools, and designed engage specifically for this.'
He says the power to benchmark gives organisations a tool to help transform existing survey results into best-in-class employee programmes and they will be able to carry out professional staff surveys with a range of high-spec features, without expensive consultancy fees.
