Voice of the Customer Survey Process
• Survey Creation
• Determining Audience
• Review of Results
• Value of Survey
“One clear document outlining
expectations and requirements with
timeline would have been very helpful.”
“Have new leaders tour our various facilities in
order to become familiar with our operations and
meet other leaders. I think something like this would have been very helpful during my orientation
period.”“Provide a “Provide a
better overview of where
information is found about
who to contact for specific
needs.”
“Finance training - how RSF does business and the accounting behind that business. Technology
overview – new IT Strategic Planning Committee, who
pays for what, what IT does for the org, etc.”
“Immediate leadership/hr training outside of orientation would have
helped me to understand the organization, language and philosophy. Things that could have better prepared
me for dealing with staff …”
“Perhaps a new leaders guide with pertinent information and a checklist to make sure important areas or need to
know information was covered.”

helpful.”
“Rounding is key to employee
engagement & satisfaction. The
role play scenarios really
helped.”

past andlook forward to it being a
wonderful tool. I thinkemployees will be excited to know that their feedback will
make a difference.”
New Question on Engagement Survey about Rounding
Q: Rounding is defined as a one-on-one conversation between you and your supervisor to generally discuss questions like what's working well, if you have the tools and equipment to do your job, if there are people to recognize, if there are systems to improve, etc. Does your leader round on you with some frequency (monthly, quarterly)?
