Why conduct Surveys? (the Importance of Perceptions)
The need to find out what people are thinking has never been greater than it is today. This applies not only to the world of business. It is just as true in health, education, public services and most other organisations. Knowing what people think gives you a powerful competitive edge. It strengthens your performance and protects your future.
If you know what your customers are thinking you can focus your products or services to meet their needs. You will grow the business, build customer loyalty and be much more aware of external threats. And what about the sales potential in all those people or companies that are not yet your customers?
If you know what your employees are thinking, you can respond to their needs and improve their morale. In return you will benefit from improved commitment and performance, less absenteeism and reduced staff turnover.
Have you ever considered the cost to the company of losing a customer or a valued member of staff? Not to mention the cost of replacing them!
Surveys are useful for monitoring performance over time. By repeating surveys on a regular basis you can spot the trends and direct attention to where it is needed, whilst you still have time!
