Survey employees.
Conducting a survey is a helpful way to gauge employees’ feelings on the current working environment, their engagement levels and concerns around productivity, burnout and more, says Jo Deal, chief human resources officer at computer software firm LogMeIn. “It can be a safe channel for employees to share concerns they might not have voiced otherwise,” she says. “As many organizations are planning their return to work post-pandemic, a survey can help leadership understand what expectations employees have for the next phase, including readiness or desire to go back into an office.” LogMeIn recently conducted an internal survey and “got great data on the challenges people needed help with,” Deal says.
