A SURVEY OF RESULTS OF USING SURVEYS of employee attitudes has just been completed and analyzed by Ketchum MacLeod & Grove Public Relations (KM & GPR), Pittsburgh, PA. The firm interviewed the heads of personnel, industrial relations, or employee relations departments of a cross section of ten percent of the Fortune 500 companies. Those chosen employ from 950 to 50,000 blue-collar and 250 to 52,000 white-collar workers and 83% are unionized. The findings reveal that, among those which have unions and do NOT conduct surveys, 48% had one or more strikes during the last six years. On the other hand, only 24% of the unionized companies which DO use attitude surveys had strikes. Approaching the findings from an overall basis, KM & GPR discovers that, of all companies which had had a strike during the six year period, only 36% had conducted an employee-attitude survey during the preceding twelve months. Another finding is that those companies which have conducted regular surveys attribute to them almost a plethora of benefits, including changes in management policies and procedures which have lead to improved employee morale and productivity.
"I knew we would gain valuable insights from our first Turbo Cultural Benchmark Survey four years ago. The impact far exceeded my expectations. In subsequent surveys, we have seen consistent improvements in scores reflecting employee opinions. The process has helped us find ways to improve communication and operation effectiveness. Our managers have recognized the need to change in ways that have resulted in improved morale, lower costs and better use of all resources. This has allowed us to provide higher levels of customer service while improving our financial performance. We continue to use the Cultural Benchmark Survey process annually."
