What are your companies doing to entice employees to complete an employee survey? For teams who are out in the field, and not within access to a computer, participation is a challenge. Does anyone have ideas for increasing feedback and participation?

Our survey has confidentiality and anonymity restrictions (as im sure most do), so incentivizing can be difficult. We focus and tailor our communications as much as we can to "whats in it for you" to take the survey (i.e feedback helps us improve the things your unhappy with". We also make the communications very people centric from each of our CEO's to their groups, to create a more personal connection and narrative. I hope this helps.Director of HRa year ago
thank you! I appreciate your feedback!

You need to make sure that every employee feels included in the process, enabling the survey to be taken on a mobile device by scanning a QR code or using their employee ID or email address. The survey should be anonymous and confidential so people need to feel safe to do the survey and are being enabled.HR Director in Transportation10 months ago
Maybe I will use the word 'encourage' participation. Response Rate and Feedback Rate are great indicators for our employees trust on the engagement survey. 'What I have done to maximize these indicators -
a) Once the survey results are out, thank the employees for their participation and acknowledge that the comments are being read through and would help us reviewing our people practices
b) Align the comments to our people plan / initiatives for the year and COMMUNICATE that to employees
c) When the initiatives are being launched, the email start with the message on the action as an outcome from the engagement survey
d) Before the next survey gets launched, we communicate the various initiatives we have worked on, in line with the feedback we have received.
e) Then, we encourage saying that Your voice is heard and .......
The utility of the engagement survey gets maximized once we put genuine efforts on continuous communication on what we are doing.
Great question and I am sure you will garner more participation in the upcoming surveys.

I find the best incentive is taking action on items from previous surveys and connecting the dots between their feedback and action taking.Director of HR in Healthcare and Biotech4 months ago
We haven't tried this yet, but are considering encouraging managers to schedule time for each employee to take the survey. Create the intentional space and time for each employee and sending a clear message that the manager sees the feedback as important.
