Workday Peakon Employee Voice Adoption Guide - Increase Your Survey Frequency

Highly engaged organizations ask for feedback more often. 45% of highly engaged organizations survey on a quarterly, monthly, or weekly cadence, versus 26% of low-scoring companies. This reduces the time for feedback to result in action, and ensures that employee engagement becomes an integral part of the company strategy. (Workday Peakon Employee Voice Report, 2022)

But what about survey fatigue? Increasing survey frequency can actually reduce survey fatigue! Embracing a continuous listening approach has many advantages including real-time trend identification, enhanced leader engagement, and more!

Consider increasing your survey frequency to experience the multifaceted benefits of continuous listening:

  • Relevance: Enables discovery of real-time trends, essential for gauging the effectiveness of your actions.
  • Question Sampling: Enhances engagement and participation by offering fewer questions per round thus minimizing survey fatigue.
  • Leader Engagement: Encourages leaders' engagement, fostering a deeper connection with their teams and their evolving perspectives.
  • Enhanced Accuracy: Ensures more accurate and up-to-date insights while mitigating missed opportunities for incorporating timely inputs. 

Proactively Predicting Attrition in the Early Stages

Identify the segments of your organization with the highest attrition risk by using the Workday Peakon Employee Voice Attrition Prediction model. To learn more about how attrition risk is calculated, review our Attrition Prediction methodology. 
By increasing your survey cadence, you get the most up-to-date data and can encourage managers to take prompt actions such as: 

  1. Review positive/negative drivers by reviewing the segment heat map. This heat map enables you to segment survey results and identify key improvement areas, patterns, and correlations throughout the organization.  
  2. Understand employee sentiment by reading the comments. The comments left by the employees give detailed insights around how organizations can support employees in terms of Belonging and Diversity, Environmental, Social, and Governance Practices. It's essential for organizations to understand what employees have been saying to support high employee engagement. 
  3. Complete the feedback loop. Be the link between employees, management, and the Workday Peakon Employee Voice platform, facilitating effective communication and feedback loops by acting on feedback.
