engagement surveys need to be conducted at the rate of change you are implementing.
For most companies, conducting their survey annually is probably just about right: This normally provides adequate time since your previous survey to communicate and act on the feedback. It allows you to benchmark progress and evaluate if your change initiatives have been effective against a backdrop of a changing economy and labor market, an annual survey can help you understand and better predict your staff turnover risks. If leaders and managers know that their team members will be invited to provide feedback in twelve months’ time, they are more likely to take responsibility for what they can influence and make positive changes. But none of this is to suggest that “just responding to surveys” is somehow driving positive change.
