A coworker of mine said he was sent a random employee experience pulse survey. Do you think they’re looking at him to possibly add him to the list?

@23t not true – you must have at least 5 reports to get the survey results and 10 to get the verbatims
@dw I agree about not filling out the free-form parts. Survey results can be reported for groups of as few as 3 people, which effectively eliminates any anonymity.
The only action I've ever seen in response to "Employee Experience" (formerly "Vital Signs") survey results was when my group lead REQUIRED AS ONE OF OUR ANNUAL GOALS that everyone on her team to choose something from a survey category in which we were lagging and try to improve it.
That's obviously an attempt to game the system since it encourage employees to respond more positively than they might otherwise do. It is clearly unethical.
Otherwise, the survey results seem to have been largely ignored. In fact, leadership has made several moves in the past year that all but guarantee worsened survey results: Sub-inflation raises/bonuses, a reduction in the 401K match and a RTO mandate with no exceptions for those without any onshore teammates.
@em I gave all neutrals. IDGAF, I’m not going to lie and give you higher than what you deserve
Nothing is random and nothing is confidential they know who they sent them to and can determine exactly who you are if they don’t like what you write. Exit stage left to the trash. A survey is not part of your job description it is used to gather information about you.
So out of touch when you take pay and benefits from staff and ask, "How are we doing" Almost seems like someone wants to show how positive, happy and engaged offshore employees are compared to the USA staff.
A survey about a survey we are forced to lie due to fear of retaliation. WTF is wrong with this company. They talk about culture constantly. Pure gas lighting
Sh--Charity from UHC Tech made a post about culture and how his team scored so highly. Yeah right.. nobody likes him, his VPs and directors. Survey means nothing when people are afraid to provide honest feedback.
I found it hilarious when our Director asked us to be transparent and not give "neutral" answers for the Employee Experience Survey, yet they find it acceptable to give out scores of "3" (neutral - Meets Expectations) for our annual reviews.
That irony was not lost on me.
i ignore all those surveys. I only fill one out if my manager comes begging we need participation. then fill out hard to say 3 on every question never fill out free form text and done
No, this isn’t unusual.
There’s details on Sparq that the survey started yesterday and it says it’s a random sample of 75k global employees. I can’t guarantee any current intentions, but I’ve seen these one off surveys in the past and no issue.
How would it be a trap? Is this different than standard EXI?
got one too
Maybe they are just trying to get your DNA?
Would not fill that out it’s a trap
@OP Most likely. That's how they do it by sending random surveys.
I got one too
