Two new books provide everything an organization needs to create, administer, and interpret an employee survey. The ìEmployee Survey Question Guidebookî and its companion volume, ìEmployee Surveys: Practical and Proven Methods, Samples, Examplesî have been revised and updated in a second edition by Performance Programs, Inc. For the first time, both volumes are available as e-books as well as in print.
ìThese books are unique in the human resources field, as far as we know,î says author Paul M. Connolly, Ph.D., president of Performance Programs, Inc. ìWe know of no other resource where employers can obtain such a robust set of 700 field-tested questionnaire items, along with complete instructions for their selection and use.î
The Guidebook is based on Connollyís 20-plus years of experience in organizational assessment. ìAll of the questionnaire items have been field-tested in real organizations,î he says. ìTypically, organizations use employee surveys to determine employee job satisfaction, engagement, commitment, morale, and motivation. The Guidebook supports all of those goals.î He adds that norms are available for 85 items, including industry norms for employee surveys in 11 industries.
The ìEmployee Survey Question Guidebookî is organized to capture key aspects of organizational effectiveness, such as organization culture and climate, organization structure, co-workers, team functioning, commitment, performance management, ethical conduct, workplace diversity, fairness, innovation and creativity, and many more. In all, there are 82 categories of questions. The Guidebook also features an easy-to-use index to symptoms of organizational dysfunction and references appropriate diagnostic areas. The print version retails for $125.00 plus shipping; the e-book retails for $110.
ìEmployee Surveys: Practical and Proven Methods, Samples, Examplesî is a how-to resource that aims to increase the survey project managerís know-how and confidence.
