Nowadays, employee data plays an important role in HR. It helps improve company culture, the work environment, and overall competitiveness. But which data is worth tracking and shouldn’t be overlooked? These should also include aspects connected to the Verso platform.
Today, HR is no longer just about intuition and experience. Data collected from employees plays an important role. These insights are then applied to improving and optimizing company processes, management, strategy setting, and enhancing the work environment.
Companies that actively collect and analyze HR data are better able to predict employee turnover, increase productivity, and set up employee benefits more effectively. But how should you work with data and what should you track to ensure it delivers real value?
Monitor and measure employee satisfaction
Measuring employee satisfaction is fundamental. That’s why you should regularly assess how satisfied your people are and what the overall atmosphere in the company is like. Regular short surveys with key questions provide valuable data. This enables HR professionals to actively respond to employees’ needs and work with them. Satisfaction surveys can be carried out at regular intervals – for example, every 3 months or every half-year, depending on your preference. Be sure to also allow an anonymous option for responses. The most common areas companies ask about include:
- Company strategy
- Management
- Relationships with supervisors and colleagues
- Career opportunities
- Overall satisfaction with the employer
And how should you handle the data? Always communicate the results back to employees so it’s clear that their voice matters. Look for patterns and weak points in the data – and most importantly, take action based on the results. Employees need to see concrete steps; otherwise, next time they may not participate or answer honestly.
Use quick surveys
With surveys, employers can ask their employees anything they want to know – it’s just about asking the right questions. You can also focus on a specific area or team and quickly gather real data and numbers. But what are the current survey trends?
Try so-called pulse surveys – short questionnaires (even just a single question) conducted weekly or monthly. For example, ask employees to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how likely they are to recommend your company as a good place to work.
You can also use surveys to measure eNPS (Employee Net Promoter Score). The principle is simple: ask employees to answer on a scale of 1 to 10 the question “Would you recommend our company as a good place to work?”
Analysis of employee feedback
Do you collect open feedback and suggestions from your employees? If not, you definitely should! They are highly valuable data. This way, you can make full use of your employees’ ideas and inspiration. Workers can also bring plenty of interesting and innovative proposals for practice, as they are the ones directly on the production floor or in contact with customers every day. Be sure to recognize the best suggestions! Employees will then actively engage in company life and feel like an integral part of it.
