      A guide for a successful survey launch on a shorter timeline.

      Overview

      Quantum Workplace can launch a survey within three weeks if needed.

      Quantum Workplace requires 10 business days after receiving final requirements, assuming English-only Signature service.

      Additional points to note:

      • If the Signature Plus or Premium package is purchased, an additional week is needed prior to building the survey for survey design 
      • If a survey will be administered in a language other than English, an additional week is needed prior to building the survey for translations

      Checklist for a Successful Launch

      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 
      • Prepare an internal communication plan for the survey announcement, learn more about pre-survey communication best practices
      • Begin discussions with necessary leaders to get sign-off on survey questions, see Quantum Workplace's recommended engagement survey questions
