Web-based surveying is becoming an increasingly
popular method of gathering data for those groups of employees that
have convenient, reliable access to the Internet. The Jackson Group,
Inc. offers web surveys via a secured website. Links from the client’s
website to the survey website are provided so employees can easily
access the survey. All screens, messages, text, backgrounds, etc. can
be customized to your organization’s requests.
For security purposes, a login and password are required. A
clear communication plan is developed to ensure that employees are
aware of the proper login and password. Once an employee links to the
site and inputs the login and password, a start screen is displayed.
The client logo is constantly displayed on screen, as well as a “thank
you” message. Once an employee clicks on “start the survey”, the survey
will begin.
Clicking on the appropriate button next to the desired
response will advance employees through the survey. Web surveys, like
all of our self-entry survey methods, offer your organization the
opportunity to ask “branching questions” which drill down to more
specific data. Employees also have access to a “back” button that
allows them to return to a previous question if a change in the
response is needed. An opportunity for the employee to type additional
comments or suggestions is given at the end of the survey.
While any type of survey can be administered through the web,
it is recommended that only medical staff surveys and employee surveys,
where the user has private access to the internet, be conducted in this
manner.
