Employee listening
At Buck, we believe the rationale for employee listening is simple: What you don't know can hurt you.
Employee listening is the process of determining what employees really believe about their employer, their managers, their jobs, and themselves. When you really listen to your employees, they can tell you all sorts of interesting things — how to improve processes, where competitive opportunities might be found, and what kinds of changes could increase efficiency and morale. Employee listening can tap into a gold mine of information — the kind of information that often can't be obtained from any other source.
We believe you need to understand employee opinion to be able to identify and implement the kinds of organizational change that lead to better performance. Our team of research and communication professionals has deep expertise in employee listening, including:
- Developing a strong research strategy and design that reflects your objectives
- Conducting stakeholder interviews and focus groups
- Designing and administering surveys
- Analyzing survey, interview, and focus group findings
Through a well-designed and effectively executed employee listening effort, you can:
- Identify specific human capital objectives and desired outcomes
- Generate results that significantly enhance your human capital decisions
We can pinpoint your objectives, help you decide which combination of surveys, focus groups, and interviews makes the most sense in light of your objectives — and make sure you extract the most value from what your employees have to say.
