During a quantitative survey that Allegiance recently conducted with voice of the employee (VOE) practitioners, including human resource vice presidents, directors and managers, as well as other HR-related titles, we found that:

  • 78% of the survey respondents strongly agree or agree that their top management listens and responds to employee feedback.
  • However, while most companies say they listen to employees, few solicit real-time feedback. For instance, 38% of respondents only solicit employee feedback once a year, 10% solicit feedback every six months, 16% solicit feedback once a quarter, and 18% solicit feedback monthly. By comparison, 3% solicit employee feedback weekly, and 9% solicit feedback daily.
  • In addition, 79% believe engaged employees are very important or important to their company in creating a sustainable competitive advantage.

What’s interesting about these survey findings is that there have been several media articles published recently on the fact that employees are stressed and suffering from poor morale due to the recession, and that once the economy rebounds, there will likely be a backlash against employers. So in order for companies to create and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage once they economy rebounds, they not only need to be actively listening to their employees now in real-time to address and resolve any concerns that they have, but also start putting some strategic measures in place to retain their best and brightest employees.
