The ROI of the Employee Lifecycle
10. 10
WHY RUN THESE SURVEYS?
• Improve your attraction and selection
processes
• Improve offer acceptance rates
• Identify and eliminate legal/ compliance
risks
• Improve the customer experience
(candidates = customers)
Candidate
Reaction Surveys
11. 11
BEST PRACTICE TIPS
• Include a single survey at the end of
the pre-hire process
• Survey both passing and failing
candidates once their final
disposition is set
• Only survey candidates who have a
meaningful view of the hiring process
(e.g., at least 1 interview)
• Tailor questions to your specific
pre-hire processes
Candidate
Reaction Surveys
12. 12
WHY RUN THESE SURVEYS?
• Reduce time and costs associated
with onboarding new hires
• Reduce the amount of time it takes to
ramp new hires
• Ensure a consistent and effective
onboarding process
• Positively influence early engagement
levels
On-boarding
Surveys
13. 13
BEST PRACTICE TIPS
• Consider an “End of Onboarding”
survey vs. “Ongoing Onboarding
Surveys”
• Survey employees immediately
after the onboarding process
• Make sure these surveys are
confidential and attributable
• Tailor questions to your specific
onboarding process
On-boarding
Surveys
14. 14
WHY RUN THESE SURVEYS?
• Improve training participation / completion
rates
• Optimise your training and development
offering, i.e., expand effective and remove
ineffective courses
• Improve learning, transfer of training and
ultimately job performance
Post-training
Evaluations
15. 15
BEST PRACTICE TIPS
• Implement Level 1 Evaluations to
measure employee reaction to training
• Implement Level 2 Evaluations to
measure learning and mastery
immediately after training
• Implement Level 3 Evaluations to
measure transfer of training several
months after training
Post-training
Evaluations
16. 16
WHY RUN THESE SURVEYS?
• Reduce regrettable turnover rates
• Understand reasons for employees
voluntarily leaving the organisation
• Identify which events in the employee
lifecycle have the biggest impact on
turnover
• Reduce time and costs associated with
replacing exiting employees
Exit Surveys
17. 17
BEST PRACTICE TIPS
• Survey exiting employees immediately
before or after they leave the organisation
• Embed the exit survey into a formal off-
boarding process to improve response
rates
• Quantify their reasons for leaving (don’t
just rely on open text responses)
• Run driver analyses to understand what
drives their final reactions about the
organisation
Exit Surveys
18. Employee feedback from
various points in the employee
lifecycle becomes very
powerful when connected.
However, connecting insights
is not as simple as putting
data from multiple surveys in
a single dashboard.
Connecting
Lifecycle Insights
19. Define the unit of analysis (e.g., individual employees, teams, locations, business units, etc.)
Define your “predictor” and “outcome” variables – make sure these are measured/ aggregated at the same unit of analysis
To draw predictive conclusions, ensure that your “predictor” variables come BEFORE your “outcome” variables in time
Make a hypothesis about the relationship(s) BEFORE you measure and gather insights (limit post hoc hypothesizing)
Test your hypothesis with the data gathered
Remember that correlation does not equal causation
