Collect employee feedback with these innovative ideas companies are using as an alternative to sending emails with survey links.
Frustrated by low morale and struggling to get real feedback? Traditional email surveys often fall short in capturing the true employee experience.
SurveyStance has a modern way companies can implement an employee feedback survey and capture feedback, ideas, suggestions and more from employees. An in depth survey sent to associates via email is the traditional approach we see companies take… or asking the tough questions in exit interviews when its too late.
Sure, the traditional email survey may still work for detailed annual surveys, but let’s bring you up to speed on how you could be capturing feedback that will make a difference. Feedback Kiosks are the newest way companies are capturing real time feedback from employees on an ongoing basis. Why? Because they are quick and easy, convenient and fun!

Ease of Use: User-friendly terminals make it incredibly simple for employees to provide feedback. Ease of use goes up and so do Response Rates.
Quick Feedback: Kiosks are strategically placed around the office, enabling employees to quickly share their thoughts on various topics, such as “Do you feel valued at XYZ Company?

Real-time Reporting: Feedback is accessible within to a secure web-based portal in real-time, providing immediate insights into employee sentiment.

Employee feedback really should be anonymous and that is one of the best parts of the Employee Feedback Kiosks.

Studies have shown that even email surveys that claim ‘anonymous’ still come with a level of employee skepticism. By capturing employee engagement feedback on a kiosk can help build employee/manager trust and confidence.
