Why the survey is being carried through
-
Which groups in the company are participating
-
That participation is voluntary – but the higher participation rate the more acurate the results
-
That participants fill in the questionnaire anonymously
-
That reporting of the results are in anonymous form
-
Procedures for how the results will be used
Prior to filling out the survey the participants should be given a short instruction on how to fill in the questionnaire, including:
-
Read the instructions on page 1 and 2 of the questionnaire
-
Read the questions carefully – some items are reversed/negated
-
Be sure to answer all questions – even though some questions may appear very similar
