"I have worked with Carleen Nelson-Nesvig for nearly 15 years. She is a professional who takes great pride in her work, and does the research and leg work necessary to ensure the information or advice provided her clients is accurate and helpful. Bee Tree's staff is also extremely professional, well trained, and capable of providing excellent training and guidance on a multitude of HR related topics. The value added services Bee Tree provides its clients allows HR professionals to concentrate on the specifics of their respective business needs and less time on those less significant yet time consuming tasks that must be done. Bee Tree Consultants provide an invaluable and cost effective resource for HR professionals who need the help of a full-time assistant but cannot afford one."

Why Do “You” Need an Employee Opinion Survey?
Business Managers know that poor employee relations can lead to low productivity, high turnover, and other management problems. Unfortunately, most organizations ignore the problems because they are so difficult to pinpoint. Programs to promote positive employee relations should value and encourage regular, candid communication between employees, without fear of reprisal or loss of status. They require “active listening” and “thoughtful feedback.” This can be captured most effectively by an impartial outside third party. Employee Opinion Surveys are the first step in the improvement process because they provide a baseline of existing conditions. They point out human resource problems such as job dissatisfaction, lack of training and development needs, benefit and compensation inequalities. Opinion Surveys give employees an opportunity to “sound off safely.” Opinion surveys give employers an opportunity to improve their working relationships with employees, a definite edge over their competition and overall effect their bottom line.
What Should an Opinion Survey Measure?
That depends on the organization’s objective. Questions will vary based on the size, culture and industry.
What do Employees want to see in an Opinion Survey?
It is important to recognize each employee as an individual. What is important to one is not necessarily as important to another. Most employees want:
Job Security
Employee Input on Decisions
Fair Pay and Benefits
Meaningful Work
Recognition
Good and on-going communication
