After planning, running and completing the survey, you have analysed the results with your workforce, identified problem areas and agreed actions. If you now sit back and think everything is done, this is what happens:
The results, objectives and actions are forgotten.
One half of the workforce is relieved that no change is required, while the other is disappointed and feels that it has not been taken seriously.
The employee survey is discredited as a tool for a long time.
To prevent this, you need communication, visible support from managers and a clear process for follow-up. Keep employees informed of progress in regular, scheduled meetings. Celebrate successes and restart stalled actions in good time.
How to put actions into practice effectively
Assign responsibility: Name an individual or team responsible for each action.
Set priorities and deadlines: Start with the most important areas for action and agree realistic milestones.
Make progress visible: Explain what has been completed, what comes next and where obstacles remain.
Review the impact: After an appropriate period, assess together whether the actions are delivering the intended improvement and adjust them where necessary.
The desired outcome — success — is never guaranteed. But it will not happen if no visible steps follow the survey.
