Hundreds of Employee Survey Questionnaire Items in New Guidebook from Performance Programs
OLD SAYBROOK, CT, MARCH 24, 2006 -- The second editions of
the Employee Survey Question Guidebook and its companion
volume, Employee Surveys: Practical and Proven Methods,
Samples, Examples have been published by Performance
Programs, Inc. Used together, these books provide
everything an organization needs to create, administer, and
interpret an employee survey. For the first time, both
volumes are available as e-books as well as hardcopy book
format.
These books are a unique resource in the human resources
field, as far as we know, says author Paul M. Connolly,
Ph.D., president of Performance Programs, Inc. We know of
no other resource where employers can obtain such a robust
set of field-tested questionnaire items, along with
complete instructions for their selection and use.
The Guidebook is based on Connollys 20-plus years of
experience in organizational assessment. All of the
questionnaire items have been field-tested in real
organizations, he says. Typically, organizations use
employee surveys to determine employee job satisfaction,
engagement, commitment, morale, and motivation. The
Guidebook supports all of those goals. He adds that norms
are available for 85 items, including industry norms for employee surveys
in 11 industries.
The Employee Survey Question Guidebook is organized into
18 dimensions that reflect key aspects of organizational
effectiveness, such as organization culture and climate,
organization structure, co-workers and teams, commitment,
performance management, and more. The eighteen dimensions
have 82 themes. For instance, themes such as ethical
conduct, workplace diversity, fairness, innovation and
creativity, and many more, are located within organization
culture and climate. The Guidebook also features an
easy-to-use index to symptoms of organizational dysfunction
and references appropriate diagnostic questions.
Employee Surveys: Practical and Proven Methods, Samples,
Examples is a how-to resource that aims to increase the
survey project managers effectiveness and sense of
confidence. From initial concept to final reports, the book
includes myriad real-world situations that employers may
not expect or know how to handle. Topics include planning,
forming a survey project team, identifying respondents,
designing reports, use of norms, questionnaire creation,
data gathering and processing, awareness campaigns,
administration, feedback, and action plans. At each step,
the human side of survey work is addressed.
Connolly wrote the first editions together with co-author
Kathleen Groll Connolly, in 2003. The success of the first
edition was very encouraging. The second edition adds even
more real-world experience and 35 new questionnaire items,
says Kathy Connolly. We hope this is an invaluable
resource that will help organizations make the most of
their survey efforts.
