One of the key steps in communicating the survey to your participants is providing clear instructions before they respond. For this purpose, we have brought some tips to help you construct the ideal set of instructions for your survey.
✅ Clearly state the purpose of the Survey
Firstly, ask yourself: What is the objective behind this survey? Once you have consolidated your thoughts, start the paragraph by presenting the action, the team responsible for it, and the reason for conducting the survey. These pieces of information provide assurance to employees and motivate them to respond in the best possible way.
✅ Be concise
Use simple and clear language. Too much information can distract participants when responding to the survey. Provide the key information employees need to respond, such as until when the response period will remain open.
✅ Incorporate elements that reinforce the company culture in the text
Use terms that embody the company's values, mission, and vision so that employees can connect even more with the survey's objective.
