    Real stories from certified™ workplaces

    "We did a pulse survey to see if we were doing enough communication and to see what questions were still out there, because we know communication is key."

    Michelle Bonner, Country Head of Human Resources, B. Braun Medical Ltd.

    "While we regularly have companywide surveys, this partnership with Great Place to Work allows us to hone in on the voices of our team. It provides insights on how we can deepen and enrich our Cloudera culture. It has undoubtedly strengthened our brand in Ireland and beyond, allowing us to attract and retain the brightest talent in our industry"

    Ciara O’Herlihy, Sr HR BP Manager, Cloudera

    "Through the use of Great Place to Work’s Trust Index survey, we have the opportunity to gather the perceptions of our people worldwide. Having these insights provides us with the ability to identify where we are doing well as a company and to understand the areas of opportunity where we should take action. Having a third party administer the programme with results that are purely anonymous, provides the added comfort for our employees to be truthful, candid and direct with their feedback."

    Jill Hearst, Senior VP of Human Resources EMEA, Verint

    "We value the insights we derive from the survey and think it’s a great way to receive employee feedback outside of our internal engagement surveys. We also know that our employees and potential applicants value the recognition both from a Global and National perspective, so it helps enhance our reputation as an employer of choice within Waterford, the Southeast and the rest of Ireland."

    Paula Kelly, HR Director , Sun Life

    "Through the Great Place to Work programme’s comprehensive surveying and assessment tools, we gather candid feedback from our team members, allowing us better to understand their needs, preferences, and concerns. This feedback loop strengthens trust and transparency within Genesys and empowers us to make data-driven decisions that positively impact employee satisfaction and retention."

    Tara Dalrymple, Global Workplace Community & Culture Manager, Genesys

    "The Trust Index survey provides us with further evidence-based feedback to address specific practice areas for improvement each year. The fact that it’s conducted independently gives extra gravitas and credibility as employees can be as open and candid as they wish. Each year’s Trust Index survey reveals new insights, areas where we as employees have experienced improvement, while at the same time identify gaps to spotlight, address and work on for the next year. Each year we learn something new, and this learning cycle is never ending. We believe that this keeps our minds constantly thinking and action planning."

    Joanne McLaughlin, Head of Marketing , Esri Ireland

    Employee Engagement Survey FAQs

    Is the Great Place to Work® survey anonymous?

    Yes. We take our ethical obligation to survey takers very seriously. Employees can rest assured that their participation is completely confidential and voluntary. Survey responses come directly to Great Place to Work®. Employers cannot see who has or who has not completed the survey while the survey is live. We remove unique identifiers once the survey closes. For employers, company participation in the Certification™ programme and the survey results are completely confidential. We do not publish the details of any organisations who do not achieve Certification™ or Best Workplaces™ recognition.

    Is the employee survey available in different languages?

    Our Trust Index™ survey is available in 19 different languages.

    How long does it take to complete an employee survey?

    Our surveys are typically completed within 10-15 minutes. This concise format encourages higher response rates as it minimises the time and effort required from employees. By keeping surveys short, your organisation can maximise participation, boosting engagement and ensuring that employees can easily fit the survey into their busy schedules.

    Can my organisation add custom questions to the Great Place to Work® survey?
    While our core Trust Index™ statements must remain unedited in order to consider you for Great Place To Work Certification™ and our awards, we offer different subscription tiers that allow you to add your own open-ended questions, demographic questions, and survey statements. Any additional survey statements which are not required for a specific Best Workplaces™ List will not be evaluated as part of our awards, so you can collect the feedback you find most relevant to your business without it impacting your Certification™ result.
    Do we get to see our scores from the employee survey?

    Yes. Once the survey is closed, you’ll get (at minimum) an overview of your scores so you can see how your employee experience measures against our key evaluation areas, and how stack up against our benchmarks.

    How can I use the results of my survey?

    The results of your survey should serve as a catalyst for positive change within your organisation's culture. By analysing the data, developing action plans, involving employees, and monitoring progress, you can transform the survey findings into tangible improvements that enhance the overall employee experience, boosting employee engagement and contributing to a more positive and productive workplace culture.

    Is assessment limited to take place on an annual basis only?

    You don't have to wait for annual list recognition to begin your journey towards creating a better workplace for all! Some organisations partner with us on an annual basis, supplementing main measures with additional pulse surveys throughout the year as a temperature check on their actions. Other organisations make frequent pulse checks on a quarterly or even monthly basis. Ultimately, we believe that measures should only be taken at a frequency where you feel important change may happen. 

    What is a pulse survey?

    A pulse survey is a brief and regular survey conducted within an organisation to gauge the overall employee experience and feedback on specific topics. It typically consists of a small number of focused questions that provide a snapshot of the workforce's current attitudes, satisfaction levels, and employee engagement. The purpose of a pulse survey is to gather real-time data and insights to help organisations identify areas for improvement, measure employee morale, and make data-driven decisions to enhance the overall employee experience.

    How often should pulse surveys be sent to employees?

    The frequency of sending pulse surveys to employees can vary depending on your organisation's needs and goals. Typically, pulse surveys are conducted on a regular basis, often quarterly or monthly. The more frequent the surveys, the more up to date the data and insights will be. However, it's important to strike a balance to avoid survey fatigue and ensure that employees have enough time to provide thoughtful responses.

     

    Is the survey compatible for mobile?

    Yes. Our Trust Index™ is extremely user-friendly and compatible across all devices (laptop/PC, tablet, and mobile).
