It’s common knowledge that when employees are satisfied with their jobs, they’re more likely to be engaged, motivated, and productive. Since satisfied and motivated employees form the backbone of a successful organization, it’s a no-brainer that upper-management would care deeply about employee happiness.
One way to find out if your employees are happy with their position is to conduct an employee evaluation. This could be done through cloud HR software using a survey, or traditionally with a survey on paper. This evaluation will help HR to determine how satisfied employees are at work and what can be done for them to perform even better.
Most evaluations include a set of questions. These questions will help you to gather the feedback you need to ascertain the level of happiness in your team as well as what your employees would like you to do to make them even more satisfied at work.
