Never assume that your employee questionnaire is self-explanatory. Every complex question should come with guidance on how to answer it. The best approach is to analyse the pretest feedback very closely. If any questions turn out to be unclear there, they should either be adjusted or supplemented with help text and instructions.
Sometimes instructions for answering are absolutely essential, for example with rating questions or scale questions. Explain the scale, what it measures and how the points are allocated. What do the answers 1 to 5 mean? Are these grades, or do the numbers represent particular sentiments?
If you do not make sure that every employee interprets each question in the same way, and in the way you intended, you will not get reliable and comparable responses!
If you stop a survey in our survey tool within 24 hours, as a gesture of goodwill, it will not be counted. This means you can test your questionnaires as often as you like within 24 hours. This is particularly useful for plans with a fixed number of surveys.
