To gain and keep employees' acceptance and trust in a survey, bear the following five points in mind:
- Involve all stakeholders early on. Senior management, the works council, the data protection officer, line managers and others need to know and understand the project, its objectives and its possible implications.
- Ensure data protection and anonymity. Choosing the right survey tool plays a key role here. Where is the data stored, which data protection laws does the tool comply with, and is GDPR compliance guaranteed, for example?
- Communicate data protection and anonymity. Where appropriate, this can be done by the works council or the data protection officer. You can also involve these groups in the analysis process or give them access to the survey tool in advance to demonstrate the analysis options.
- Establish rules ensuring that the data collected is used exclusively for its intended purpose and not by third parties. These rules must be communicated transparently and clearly.
- Invite all employees. If only certain departments are surveyed, at least everyone in those departments should be invited to take part.
