5 questions every employer should be asking their staff post covid

With the Great Resignation and the Job Boom in full force, it’s a key time to be measuring employee satisfaction to attract great talent or even better - retain the best employees! Consequently, the NZ unemployment rate is at the lowest it has been and with borders reopening and fewer people out of work employers need to focus on their retention strategies.

What does this mean for employees?

In the current market, employees can use the Job Boom to their advantage as it’s a golden opportunity to either develop their career within their current company or move across to a competitor with a chunky pay rise.

It's always a good idea to check in regularly with your people, and even more important when things are unsettled.

Here are the 5 questions you need to be asking your employees:

1.     What matters the most to your work-life balance?

2.     What would you add or change about your role?

3.     How do you feel about your development since returning to the office?

4.     What are you enjoying the most and the least about your role?

5.     What skills would you like to develop in the next 6 months?

Outsourcing your Employee Engagement Surveys are a great way to truly understand the level of employee satisfaction and develop a plan on what areas need immediate improvement.

Our Engagement Surveys are designed to offer employees a voice to share their authentic and honest opinions providing us insight into what is going well and what pain points exist. We identify patterns of concern without identifying individuals so employees can trust that their answers are confidential and anonymous.

From our initial scoping we uncover areas key areas management would like to focus their questions on which may include remuneration changes, senior management changes or career development.
