yourself online... What is an audit and what to expect from
an organisational survey?
Does the company need an organisational survey and when?
Why organisational surveys fail? |
Advantages of
organisational surveys
- It separates facts from opinions
- It can be used to obtain unbiased management information
- It can identify areas of opportunity
- It is relatively cheap and fast ( it makes good economic sense)
- It provides a bottom-up view of the organisation
- It highlights the suitability for innovation and change
- It shows potential fit and misfit in mergers and acquisitions
Disadvantages of organisational surveys
- Not everything is measured in a survey
- Surveys just look at particular aspects of people's beliefs and
actions without looking at the context in which they occur
- A survey cannot generate better results than the measures used to
gather the data.
- A survey in itself cannot improve performance
