Top 4 Automated Cloud-Based Employee Engagement Survey Tools

Employee engagement surveys, (sometimes referred to as employee satisfaction surveys), allow employers to understand the mood of the workforce by asking workers about their current likes and dislikes about the business. The problem is that doing these surveys once a year (which is how they have been done traditionally), is a woefully inadequate way to go about things because employee mood changes on a much more frequent basis. As a result, annual engagement surveys are often way off the pulse of the business, and ultimately will not be very reflective of staff’s changing mood over the course of the year.

Continous monitoring of employee mood is the way to go as it enables you as an employer to see spikes, trends, dips and employee engagement hot and cold spots and more importantly respond immediately. Assessing mood on an ongoing basis comes with a large management overhead which has until recently meant it is not a viable or sustainable activity. But over the past few years, several automated employee mood surveys have hit the market-place which will automatically poll your staff and report on the mood of your work-force on an ongoing basis. This means that real-time staff engagement surveys are perfectly viable for even the smallest of businesses.
