Communication Satisfaction Survey |
| |
|
|
|
Introduction:
Effective communication is the backbone of any successful organization. How well and how much we communicate within our organizations will influence the satisfaction each of us experience with our jobs and it will ultimately help determine how effective and productive we are at work.
Through this survey we aim to determine just how satisfied YOU are with the communication practices in your organization. We hope to use this information to improve communication practices in the organization, thereby increasing your job satisfaction and work experience. We really appreciate you taking the time to complete this questionnaire. You should be able to complete it in 10-15 minutes.
Be assured that your answers will be treated with complete confidentiality (no details of individual responses will be shared with management or any other parties), so please be as truthful as possible. Also keep in mind that this is not a test – your honest opinion is the ‘right’ answer we need. |
