What you'll see

  • What motivates people most, picked by them rather than guessed
  • What gets in the way of doing their best work
  • A recommendation score you can watch year to year

How to get good answers

  • Run it separately from the pay review. Answers given in salary season are about salary.
  • Keep it anonymous and do not report small teams on their own.
  • Ask every level, not just the people who speak up in meetings.
  • Payroll shows what you pay. It does not show what people stay for, and cutting the wrong thing to save money is how you find out.
