Folks, hi. I hope you´re doing well. Still investing time to know your team. It is very important to let the team know that you care. More than survey, manage the information will make a big difference. Lets spend sometime on how to administer the survey. Survey administration   1. Timing: Choose an appropriate time to conduct the survey when employees are not overwhelmed with deadlines or high-stress periods. Consider factors such as company events, project cycles, and seasonal fluctuations; 2. Accessibility: Ensure that the survey is accessible to all employees, regardless or their locations or department. Provide multiple channels for participation, such as online surveys, paper-based forms, or mobile applications, to accommodate diverse preference and accessibility needs; 3. Communications: Clearly communicate the purpose of the survey, its importance, and the expected timeframe for completion. Emphasize the significance of honest feedback in driving positive change and improving the work environment for everyone; 4. Follow-up: Send reminders and follow-up communications to encourage participation and remind employees of the survey deadline. Highlight the anonymity of responses and reassure employees that their input is valued and will be used constructively. I´ll see you next week to chat about "Data analysis and actions"

Opinion by Alan Murray of Fortune Media: "It’s easy to understand why CEOs want nothing to do with U.S. politics. As Saturday’s South Carolina primary results demonstrate, the Republican Party remains enthralled to Donald Trump, who won business support for overhauling corporate taxes, but also alienated business leaders with attacks on global trade, democratic institutions, rule of law, human rights, etc. "On the other side is President Joe Biden, who deserves praise for overseeing passage of the bipartisan infrastructure act and the most sweeping climate-related business incentives in history, but also has filled his government with regulators pursuing blatantly anti-business agendas. "On the latter point, it’s worth reading last week’s report on the Federal Trade Commission from the staff of the House Judiciary Committee. For decades, the FTC was respected on both sides of the aisle for its professional leadership and bipartisan approach to enforcement and policy making. "But as this report makes clear, under chair Lina Khan the agency has not only been captured by an ideological agenda, but also plagued by classic mismanagement. "Agency managers—who according to political contribution data are far more likely to support Democrats than Republicans—complain of “stated objectives that sound more like progressive buzzwords than actual direction,” routine “scapegoating of career staff,” micromanagement, unnecessary delays that sap morale, and an overall disregard for whether or not the agency can win in court. "Is there a political agenda behind this staff report? Sadly, in Washington these days, political agendas drive everything. But I was struck by the data from the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. "Asked whether senior leaders of the agency maintain high standards of honesty and integrity, employees at the FTC scored their agency at 87% in 2020, but 53% in 2021, 49% in 2022 and 58% in 2023. "On the key question of whether senior leadership generates high levels of motivation and commitment from staff, scores dropped from 80% in 2020 to under 50% in each of the subsequent three years. Readers of this newsletter know that I believe employee surveys provide an invaluable window into organizational effectiveness. "On that score, the FTC is failing. Compared to other federal agencies, it has dropped from the highest-rated agency to one of the lowest. "Count that as one more government institution undermined by polarization of American politics. And while CEOs may want to steer clear, in the long run they can’t. Far-sighted CEOs now recognize their companies can’t survive on a planet headed for climate disaster. "Those companies also can’t survive in country whose government persistently prizes political point-scoring over practical problem solving. Like it or not, America’s political dysfunction is a problem for business."

How do you make sure your survey respondents are paying attention? 🕵🏽 Generally, one of the challenges we face when doing surveys is validating the data quality. There is a lot of abuse out there (bots and stuff 🤖). Measuring the time spent on a survey page is a useful KPI, especially if the page has a lot of content (e.g., an instructional paragraph or a video 📽️). In most survey software, you can embed a "hidden question" that measures the time on the page. The respondent isn't aware of this 🤔. If you have a 78s video it isn't possible that someone finished the page in 50s seconds (it means that not all the video was watched). If the content of a page takes ~30s to read, it isn't likely someone finished it in 5s. ⌛ You can also employ this on the total survey time (from start to finish). Sometimes, it is also interesting to see the churn from the page because it also indicates the content. 📊

3 Things Hurting Your Survey 1) Poorly Designed Questions One of the most significant issues that can undermine your survey's effectiveness is poorly designed questions. Ambiguous, leading, or overly complex questions can confuse respondents and lead to inaccurate or misleading responses. To ensure clarity and precision: - Use simple and direct language. - Avoid double-barreled questions that ask about multiple things at once. - Refrain from using leading questions that may bias responses. 2) Low Response Rates A low response rate can significantly affect the reliability and validity of your survey results. When too few people respond, the sample may not be representative of the broader population, leading to skewed data. To improve response rates: - Make the survey concise and easy to complete. - Offer incentives for participation. - Send reminders to prompt those who have not yet responded. 3) Lack of Anonymity and Confidentiality If respondents do not feel that their privacy is protected, they may provide less honest and less detailed answers. This can compromise the quality of your data. To encourage honest responses: - Ensure and clearly communicate the anonymity and confidentiality of the survey. - Use secure data collection and storage methods. - Reassure participants that their responses will be used solely for research purposes and not shared with third parties.
