researchmethodology

We use a variety of methodologies to conduct our employee research projects, both quantitative and qualitative.

employee surveys

paper-based surveys
  • predominantly 'offline' workforce
    (eg. manufacturing)
  • traditional, older staff, who prefer 'paper'
  • concern over security of the online interface

online surveys

  • predominantly office-based/online workforce
  • web-based, intranet, email-based options
  • avoids costs of printing and datacapture

mixed methodology
(paper AND online)

  • diverse business functions
    (eg. corporate HQ and factory workforce)
  • cost-effective option vs. all-paper surveys
   
interviews and structured staff discussion groups

1-to-1 interviews


  • executive level interviews
  • key employee discussions
  • talent management / retention
  • exit interviews

focus groups

  • pre-survey groups to inform questionnaire content
  • post-survey groups to explore issues in depth and develop the action plan
  • can also be used in place of a quantitative survey if structured to be representative of the staff population
   
other methodologies

interactive handsets

  • 'who wants to be a millionaire' style handsets
  • immediate data collection and results presentation possible
  • can be used in strategy meetings to gather pure data on perceptions and opinions
  • useful for company wide meetings to test reactions to key corporate messages
  • can be used as a tool to test knowledge before and after training events
  • 'quiz' element can bring life to corporate events

stand-alone kiosks

  • pre-programmed questionnaire, with simple multiple choice answers
  • stand-alone units can be used to gather data from 'passing traffic' (eg. company reception area, employee common room)
  • several units can be linked to aggregate data across multiple sites / locations
  • remote data export via modem is possible
  • more complex kiosks can use interactive graphics and video to gather opinions
