They say the survey is totally voluntary, you don't have to take it but they would like as much participation as possible, because our voices really do bring change, if its needed. That's a crock. voluntary, yet they start scheduling times for each of us to take it?
Last year HR approached me on the sales floor and asked if I would go take the survey before the end of my day. I looked her directly in the eye and said I'm volunteering not to take it. I don't feel it is anonymous enough, which means I don't feel like I can honestly answer the questions. Plus you say it voluntary then TMs are almost forced to take it, so no, I won't be participating.
She blurted out (not intentionally) that they want as much participation as possible, if participation is low it sends a RED FLAG to corporate and they will come investigating. Thank you for tell me that I thought to myself, I'll spread those words, and now I won't take the survey for sure.
I think if we really want to send a message, kindly say I opt out of the survey, since it is voluntary. The surveys have never brought change at my store. One yr the only change was providing the truck team with water during the unload, that lasted about six weeks, haven't seen water back there in 9 months.
Don't bother with the survey is my advice, they act like what we have to say matters, but it really doesn't.
