Employee Satisfaction

😆 Satisfaction survey

  • Measurement of employee satisfaction by distributing standardized surveys among employees e.g. 15five, office vibe, culture amp.
  • Most of the time these surveys are conducted quarterly or twice a year. Some companies start very early (from 20 employees onwards), while others claim that results are only representable from a sample of 50 people onwards.

Presentation of results

  • Communicating the results of your employee satisfaction survey is extremely important to make employees feel valued and heard.
  • Most of our portfolio companies present the results in an all-hands meeting. Either they conduct (1) “Ask me anything”-Sessions with the founders or (2) collect the questions upfront (sometimes even anonymously) and then answer them in the meeting.
