Employment survey on its way.

[thewackymonkey]

Does anybody know if the RM employment survey can be done on-line yet?.
Asked the gaffa he said NOoooooooooo.
Dont believe him so thought Id ask on here. If so where can I find it when the time comes.
Cannot believe in this day and age that this could not be done on-line, just makes me think that the managers just want to read and doctor any replies that discredit them particularly now when so many of their necks are on the chopping block.
Thoughts please.

Nope, not online, just remember this tho...

Completion of the survey is not mandatory although we would highly encourage all employees to take the opportunity to give their view.

As this is a work-related survey, employees have been allocated time at work (during their WTLL) to complete the survey, rather than expecting employees to fill in their survey at home in their own time. This process of completing the surveys at work is standard practice in many companies.

Each survey should have been given out in an envelope as part of a pack. Each pack contained the survey itself and a pre-paid envelope with Ipsos MORI’s address for returning the survey once completed. Ipsos MORI is an independent research company conducting the survey on RMG’s behalf.

All employees can be confident that their answers will be treated in complete confidence. Ipsos MORI promises that surveys will never be linked to an individual. Ipsos MORI is a member of the Market Research Society. As a member, they are bound by its Code of Conduct not to identify individual respondents’ views.

Surveys should not have been handed back to managers without being sealed in the pre-paid/pre-addressed envelope. Managers should collect the sealed packs and return them in bulk via recorded delivery to Ipsos MORI (ideally using the bags that they arrived in). If employees specifically wish to, they can take the survey home and complete it and then return it in the post in the pre-paid and pre-addressed envelope direct to Ipsos MORI.

We ask people to take part in the survey so that they can share their views in a fair and consistent way, we also give people the opportunity to do this in a confidential environment. The survey gives people the chance to say what they want without being concerned about people finding out what they individually said. Also, only by surveying everyone in RMG will we get an overall view of what people think and be able to respond to that at a corporate level.

I hope I have provided some reassurance but please let me know if I can help further.

Kind regards

I spend 20 - 30 mins doing it at home with a cup of tea so I can give reasoned, thoughtful comments otherwise it's rushed panic to complete so I can get on with prep/bagging up.

Bollocks to that. I spend 20-30 seconds on it which is just enough time to take it from one envelope and put it in the return one without a drop of ink touching it. Reasoned and thoughtful comments are a waste of time I’m afraid just
Ike the whole exercise.

I like to take it home but I am a bit of a grammar Nazi and I like to make sure that phrases such as "woefully incompetent" and "useless lying bastard" are spelt correctly.
I don't like the pressure of filling it in in the canteen. It feels a bit like school and I am always worried the person next to me will spill their coffee on my rant sheet.

More bothered about the Nazi stood over my shoulder as I fill it in as his bonus is linked to this parameter!

Subject: Employee Have Your say survey.

Today in our office the staff was given the new Employee Have your Say forms to fill in, this was done in Work Time Learning.

Whilst I think it is a good idea to fill these out in this time, what I do not find acceptable is for your managers to `stand guard` or harass staff into filling them in and then demand that they hand them back to the line managers to be sent off, this is particularly disturbing as there is an envelope for the staff to send back to the company carrying out the survey.
A number of staff wanted to fill out the survey at home and then send the forms backs but have been made well aware that this was not the wanted action by management, I have to ask why?
.

We also had an instance were an employee did not want to fill it out at all and was informed that he would then have to answer to the Delivery Office Manager as to why he was not filling it in.

So my questions are :
1. Are these survey mandatory?
2.Must they be completed in Work Time Learning?
3..If they are mandatory, do the staff have to hand the completed forms back to the line managers?
4.. Are the managers on some sort of bonus for the number of completed forms?
5. If these surveys are handed to your managers how do we know that they are not being opened and the bad responses sifted through to make the office figures look attractive?
I look forward to your detailed response.

"rip it up and start again,I said rip it up,just rip it up ,rip it up just rip it up ,rip it up and start again" Seems apt

How they did ours with us last year was good - the manager gave us the talk in work time learning, but let us take the surveys and fill them out in the canteen, so you didn't have to do it with a manager watching.

WHy? It's just a big PR social control exercise. There is nothing that is actionable in that "survey" ,whatever the response. Prove me wrong ,lets hear from all the units that have ever got any wrongs righted as a result of their hys surveys. {an I don't mean ,"heres a custard slice ", or " have a doughnut"}

In Edinburgh Mail Centre we are being offered a
( reward ) to the shift with the highest return.
The reward is an extra 1 lieu day on a Friday
For the next year .
This is because of the poor returns we get year
on year it’s embarrasing .
Nobody is interested as nothing ever gets done
And why contribute to 10% of their bonus.
The Hysteria surrounding this in our office is
Incredible .p

Postman/TBT - How about this being made a 'Stickie'? Repeated in a Union topic also.
