Our organization would like to create a general climate that is positive and supportive of individual and team effort that is conducive to feeling good about coming to work and working together to achieve the goals of the enterprise. One way in which we can ensure that we are effective in doing this is to systematically collect the opinions of our employees about a range of issues that can help us shape future strategy when it comes to our most important asset-our people.

In order to gather opinion in a fair, consistent and reliable way, we utilize an electronic questionnaire to help measure how people feel at the moment. This simple process asks individuals to indicate their opinion in 80 separate questions. This will ultimately give us a very strong indication about how people feel about their workplace in ten categories.

These areas or categories are:

• Leadership credibility
• Quality standards
• Clarity of direction
• Motivation and challenge
• Freedom to act/empowerment
• Communication climate
• Team relationships
• Growth and development
• Rewards and Recognition
• Job security

Data will be collected and collated in aggregate form, where it can be analyzed and a summary report then created. This summary report will be made available to all individuals in the near future.

Your participation in this opinion survey is both voluntary and confidential. However, we would very much appreciate some simple background demographic detail to help enrich the summary reporting process.
