While Quantum Workplace prepares your survey, the following are some points for your organization to consider and act on for a successful survey experience. 

  • Determine who is in charge of managing the survey implementation for your organization
    • This person will need to set time aside each week to prepare for the survey launch
  • Meet with your IT team to understand what is required to pull an employee demographic file from your HRIS, learn more about required and supplemental demographics in Quantum Workplace
    • Other points to consider: 
      • Will your HRIS ensure quality employee data as it currently operates 
      • Do you require additional KPI demographic data that is not currently captured with your HRIS
