Introduction

A happy employee is a happy internal customer. Employers should strive to make employees happy so that they can better serve external customers. Employee satisfaction is thus of utmost important to both employers and employees so that customer satisfaction can be achieved. Training is an important investment in the performance of your staff. However no amount of investment in training will help or motivate employees if they are not satisfied with their supervisors or climate of the organisation. In order to make the most of money spent on training, it is important to know the reasons behind employee dissatisfaction and resolve to eliminate or reduce their degree of unhappiness at the workplace. Hence the need to administer an employee survey to gauge their happiness and engagement.

In this one day practice-oriented workshop, we will show and teach you how to design a survey to identify the dissatisfaction of your employees, how to implement the survey and to formulate action plans to make them happier and more satisfied so that they will remain loyal to the organisation and strive to give their best to help the organisation meet the customers' demand and henceforth increase the revenue of the organisation.
