Employee Surveys
Unionization often stems from workers feeling dissatisfied, unheard or unsafe in the workplace. While other factors contribute to union formation, listening to employees’ concerns and resolving issues are proactive steps to deter union interest. Leverage surveys to understand employees’ sentiments before they escalate into demands for union representation.
Understanding Employee Concerns Through Feedback
Employee surveys foster a culture of trust and engagement among workers. Don’t underestimate the power of listening to pinpoint specific workplace issues that may lead to union campaigns. Soliciting feedback gives employees a chance to voice concerns related to:
- Inadequate compensation
- Poor management practices
- Unfair workplace policies
- Lack of career advancement opportunities
Addressing workplace concerns leads to timely interventions, helps you stay ahead of the game and highlights your commitment to improvement. Assess employee morale through surveys that create a culture of open communication.
