Someone please enlighten me, what is the point of surveys if we already know that almost none of us will tell the truth in these surveys?

21) [ x ] I wish to be contacted by an HR representative to discuss my anonymous survey responses. How can HR contact you if survey responses are anonymous?
I filled mine out and was very straight and factual. Too bad it won't do any good and will show more employee engagement . but it felt good to get it off my chest
1) How meaningful is the work you do at DXC?
('Very meaningful' has since been removed as a statistical outlier. 'Meaningful' is retained as a viable stretch target)
2) How challenging is your work
(your prime role, not the other roles you may have inherited from team leavers')?
3) In a typical week, how often do you feel stressed at work?
('If not, why not?' has since removed as a publishing error)
4) How well are you paid for the work you do?
(Very well, well or can't complain. Now replaced by a positive range)
5) Do you refrain from expressing your DXC work grievances on social media and thelayoff.com?
6) How often do the tasks assigned to you by your line manager help you grow professionally?
(Everyday, three times a week, twice a week, once a week)?
7) How many opportunities do you have to get promoted in DXC?
(we have since removed the freeform text field on this question in favour of a positive range, following spoilt returns last year - 'less than zero' and 'What * promotion?' were not considered valid responses).
8) How likely are you to look for another job outside of DXC?
(Note: values above 100% will no longer be considered as a valid entries)
9) To what extent are you satisfied with the culture of DXC?
10 How satisfied are you with DXC's flex benefits?
(your opinions help shape our decision to retain them)
11 Do DXC's flexible working options meet your expectations?
12 How easy is it to get help from your DXC People manager when you need it?
(we will accept direct manager if you don't know who your people manager is)
13) How often does your DXC people manager or direct manager give you feedback on your work?
(we have retained months and 'once a year' as options. 'Years' has been replaced with "no feedback in the past year" to ensure alignment to our People Management Policy.
14) How fair is DXC's company’s sick leave policy?
(this question is no longer cross-referenced against your attendance record for ethical and regulatory reasons).
15) To what extent do you agree with the statement: “I am satisfied with my overall job security at DXC”
(has since been removed to recognise ongoing restructuring and the skew of data as a result)
16) How happy or unhappy are you with senior management at DXC?
(This question has been removed as it is topically already being asked by non-exec board members).
17) How professionally do the members of your team behave?
(please note swearing, derogatory comments about company surveys and appeals for consideration for WFR are not accepted as valid submissions).
18) How well do you the members of your team communicate with each other?
(this replaces the previous question 'How well does DXC Management communicate to you in words you understand'. 'What team?' is not accepted as a valid entry).
19) How would you like to receive future DXC communication?
(freeform text removed as "Up the a$$" is no longer considered as a valid entry!)
20) When determining promotions at your organisation, how important is the length of time an individual has spent at your organisation?
(Years and months is now replaced with weeks and days to ensure acceptable data dispersal).

I will not fill it in. The questions I expect (a.o. On culture, on growth strategies, on vision, leadership style, fun and profit sharing, mgt style, etc) are not listed. And for all the internally oriented questions on systems, processes and procedures they do ask, they already have the answers. It is a complete waste of everbody’s time for filling it in and you never get any decent quantified feedback on findings, countermeasures considered and impact of corrective actions taken.
Post ID: @2fbk+1cH0itnP Send an email to the executive board and not fill out the survey, A SURE WAY TO BE FIRED, not laid off but FIRED!
Do NOT fill in the survey but send an email (after all the survey is NOT anonymous) with your observations, thoughts, feelings and recommendations to the entire executive commitee AND the board members (https://investors.dxc.com/governance/board-of-directors/default.aspx).
I agree: do NOT fill in the survey. Ignore the clowns and thugs. They are not interested in your opinion; they have no empathy nor the will to fix (they simply pretend to secure their millions in bonus they were refused by the shareholders) AND they need a lightning arrester on the presentation of the next quarter results as sales continues to plummet and attrition rates are shocking. Mgt will unveil staggering levels of employee engagement to mask the complete collapse of delivery. Where do “Leaders” bringing these messages belong: in a board room, in jail (first) or in he-l (next)?
" know that almost none of us will tell the truth in these surveys?" why wouldn't you? If you take then say it like it is. But also the fully engaged employees, is all that will come of it. I am torn, it a lose lose no matter what we do. I took it and fired both barrels at executive management
I don't respond to surveys genuinely. They're more down the line of quotes from certain movies, like A Few Good Men, or The Godfather. It makes me chuckle for a bit, and then I'm off to my next source of entertainment.
I ran out of space in the free text section.
Had to select which truths to call out
Fun morning though
You shouldn't complete the survey as the only metric they look at is how many people respond. They then tell the world that they have fully engaged employees as 90 % respond to the survey. They ignore the fact that those employees are telling them DXC is dysfunctional.
Why wouldn't you tell the truth?
It's the only fun to be had in DXC, telling them on the survey they've kindly provided, how much they suck. Plus write nice long comments explaining precisely why they suck.
To get a high levle of completion scores to show how engaged in the process you all are. 🙂
Ask to be fired!
To make them look like they're doing their job.
