Would you like to be closer to your employees in the production area and learn more about their satisfaction, commitment and daily working environment?

An employee survey is the ideal means of measuring the mood in your company and uncovering optimisation potential in daily communication and cooperation. However, conducting such a survey in an industrial environment – i.e. especially in the production area – is subject to certain requirements. One challenge is the accessibility of colleagues not working at the PC. We are familiar with these framework conditions and have developed industry-specific solutions for them.

As a long-standing partner in conducting national and international employee surveys in the industrial sector, we support you professionally in implementing your employee feedback.

Challenges in an employee survey in the production area

The conditions for implementing employee feedback in a manufacturing environment are fundamentally different from those in an office environment. We therefore pay special attention to the following aspects and develop solutions that fit your company:

Accessibility of employees

As a rule, employees in the production area do not have PC workstations and therefore cannot be reached comfortably and reliably by e-mail. The use of a private e-mail requires the written consent of each individual and usually does not generate a good response. An invitation on paper is therefore the preferred method in most cases.

However, it is not mandatory that the entire survey be conducted on paper. The combination of a paper invitation and online participation in the survey is a proven, hybrid procedure that allows you to still benefit from the advantages of an online survey (e.g. fast data collection). Since participation is also easily possible via smartphone, this approach is well received by employees and ideally supported by providing terminals and PCs in suitable premises.

Special questions for the target group

Since working conditions in the production area are usually different from those in an office environment, it is also important to consider these circumstances in the questionnaire. This questionnaire should be designed to take account of individual circumstances. Otherwise, these special features are not sufficiently covered, and the employees may not feel sufficiently picked up. Typical examples of these topics can be physical stress, special working conditions (e.g. noise, temperature, dirt) or the requirements during shift work.

Anonymity

In the manufacturing sector, our experience also shows that a higher sensitivity is required when it comes to the issue of anonymity. We counteract this by providing specific information and tangible measures: e.g. group-related invitations or the possibility of exchanging the participation code with colleagues.

Language barriers

We make sure that the language is as simple as possible and recommend the use of several language versions where this appears necessary. Here we work together with established translation institutes and create online and/or print questionnaires in many different languages.

Rogator advises you individually on all questions regarding employee surveys for public authorities

How is the feedback culture in public authorities developing?

We observe a significant increase in feedback or development tools in the official environment. In many cases, modernisation is desired and sought in this respect. Appropriate educational work should be carried out in the run-up to the event in order to actively bring all those involved on board. Rogator will be glad to support you with the comprehensive know-how of our experts regarding feedback from authorities.

Which relevant regulations may be available in authorities?

At this point we take it for granted that we will work together with the staff representatives and the respective agents. This mainly concerns aspects of equality, co-determination and the data protection rights of employees. We develop the perfect solution in close dialogue with the relevant persons and by using our technical expertise.

Are there any differences in the questions for authorities?

The questionnaires for employee feedback are similar in many respects to those used by private sector companies. In most cases, authorities attach somewhat more importance to aspects of communication and cooperation. Similarly, certain aspects of the specific form of organisation have to be taken into account, such as the assessment of personal development opportunities.

What other special features have to be taken into account?

Usually the survey periods are somewhat longer for surveys of public authorities, as there are usually more part-time employees and longer absences like parental leave are more frequent. Furthermore, there is often a situation in certain specialist areas where one employee reports to several managers. Otherwise, the similarities with conventional employee feedback outweigh the differences.
