CONDUCT EMPLOYEE INTEREST SURVEYSAn employee interest survey is an effective way to get information from your employees. An interest survey asks what the employees want from a health promotion program. An interest survey gives employees a feeling of ownership and involvement in the decision making process. The survey should only request information that the health promotion program can accommodate in the future. A program can be geared towards an employee's preferences and interests after evaluating the results of the survey. Sample Employee Wellness Surveys are included as Appendix J.Survey results can provide you with vital information that can help you make changes in the work place. The key to writing a successful survey is to keep your audience in mind at all times and remember the objectives that you are trying to accomplish. Appendix K provides tips to creating a survey.
