A better, more stable workforce: ShapardResearch employee engagement surveys

They used to call it retention, but that word didn’t quite cut it. Today, minimizing turnover is just the beginning. Smart business leaders know that the extent to which they’re able to manage employee engagement is closely tied to how well their organization will achieve its goals. Determining your company’s current level of employee engagement is the first step toward strengthening it, and a survey from ShapardResearch can make it happen.

Employee engagement surveys measure the degree of commitment and involvement a worker feels towards his or her employer. Because they’re happy where they work, engaged employees are far less likely to look elsewhere for better job opportunities. They say good things about the company’s products or services, and they’re the ones who put in extra time and effort for the company’s success. 

Low levels of employee engagement result in higher turnover, lost training dollars, reduced competency and low morale. Data from ShapardResearch can help you identify the conditions that impair employee engagement, enabling you to take action that will benefit not only your company as a whole, but also every individual who works there.

Another advantage to conducting employee engagement research is the message you send when you do it: you’re telling your employees you value their opinions and want to make your company a great place to work. Thus, the act of conducting the survey can contribute to better employee engagement. From there, you’ll learn how to promote the kind of engagement that results in more loyal, productive workers who are enthusiastic advocates of your company.

As your company takes steps to increase the degree to which its employees are engaged, improvements will be seen at every level. The bottom line will strengthen as workers feel better about their jobs. Expenses related to turnover will drop, while productivity increases. Your customers will feel the difference too, when they’re dealing with people who respect their employer and who like what they do.

To what degree are your company’s employees engaged? A comprehensive employee satisfaction survey from ShapardResearch gives you the answer. Contact us to learn more.

What potential does your company have for claims regarding harassment, unsafe working conditions, bullying or discrimination? If such a claim should be made, what evidence do you have to prove you’ve done everything to prevent such conditions? The stakes are too high to rely on good-faith efforts to ensure a safe and legal work environment.

We know what to look for, and we know how to find it. We’ll assess your workplace and identify issues that could put your company at risk of litigation. If nothing is found, you’ll have evidence—should you need it—that your company cares about these issues and that you examined your work environment to see if any existed. If an issue is discovered that could put your company at risk, you’ll be able to demonstrate that you took action to correct it. 

A workplace assessment from ShapardResearch will protect your company by giving you a thorough evaluation of your company’s risk. Once any issues are identified, you’ll be able to take preventative action. Should it become necessary, your legal representative will be able to prove that you did so.

A workplace assessment from ShapardResearch tells your employees you care about their work environment. It tells them you won’t tolerate any conditions or situations that could make their jobs difficult or unpleasant. Also, it demonstrates this commitment to the courts, showing you made a serious effort to protect your workers.

Law firms can better serve their clients by encouraging them to conduct workplace assessments on an annual basis. The results are a lower risk of claims, workers who know their employer cares about these issues, and a better chance of building a successful defense against any claim that should arise.
