Complete waste of time, nothing ever gets done about anything raised in them. They may as well save a few trees and not print something which to be frank a load of bullsh*t

DOM tried to get posties to fill in the survey at WTL today, most refused to even look at it.
He even pleaded with us to at least take it off him and send it back not filled in which we also refused.
Think he had half a dozen back out of 50.
Never seen the DOM so worried , wonder if they are getting pressure from above to get them filled in :nana

I am as cynical as the rest as to whether the papers are looked at properly and recorded thus.
I know we feel nothing comes out of our form filling, we should still do it because it is supposed to
be an independent company gathering results, so the more negative response the better from more people,maybe backing up the rather lack luster B/H campaign?
Always be one step ahead, play their game but be wiser. Revenge is sweet.

We never got our results from last year,got told they had been lost in the post.When it was pointed out that they had been sent special delivery and had been signed for it turned into been misplaced,so a on-line form would be better.

I went to fill mine in earlier and had second thoughts as they are numbered and they know who you are as the manager ticked them off in order he gave them out, be careful guys!

Just wondering about this survey.

We were also told today that we will fill them in during wtl, then they will all be sent together in Special Delivery envelope.

The thing is that everyone will be under pressure to get it filled in so they can finish prepping and get out and get back early/on time.

If I fill it in, I want to do it in my own time so I can give it a considered reply.

Is it mandatory to fill it in?

Can I insist I take it home to fill in?

It is not mandatory to fill them in and you can fill them in at home and post them in a pillar box if you so wish

It is our preference for the surveys to be sent back in bulk by managers as this makes it easier to track the returns of the surveys – and hopefully means we get them back a bit quicker too in order to process them. However if employees wish they can send them back separately using the pre-paid envelope instead, that is completely fine – it’s just not our primary choice.

Hope this helps, Ipsos MORI

From the horses mouth comes directly the answer.

Two questions that I would be asking any DOM. 1 - Is the completion of these Employee Opinion Surveys (MANDATORY) yes or no (and if they indicate yes ask where it states that it is so). 2 - As Ipsos MORI have already expressed an opinion (although not their primary choice) in that it is completely fine if employees wish, they can send them back seperately using the pre-paid envelope then they should be allowed to do so as is their right.
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."
