New Employee Survey

New employees can be a reliable source of information for a company. Most companies ignore the wealth of information that new employees are likely to bring from their previous experiences. As a result, a lot of valuable information gets swept away in the process of incorporating the new employee into the company.

New employee surveys can be done for many purposes. One of them is the new employee orientation survey. This survey is generally done after a few days of orientation to determine any potential issues relating to productivity, turnover, attitudes and other aspects. It would also help the management to understand the productivity of the orientation or training program that the new employee went through in the initial days. The employee's experiences in the early days of employment are also important determinants, since they represent the company's image through the eyes of a new person.

Another kind of new employee survey can be undertaken to know whether the employee has completely understood all the aspects of the new job or not. This can include the job analysis and description, the basics of the job, the most enjoyable and least enjoyable parts of the job, and so on. New employee survey can include information relating to corporate culture, training, supervisor relations, work environment, pay and benefits, communications, feedback, leadership, corporate vision, and overall satisfaction.
