Employee Survey
Run an employee engagement survey that gives you usable signal, not a 6-page PDF from Gallup you never open again. Use this skill when leadership wants a quarterly pulse or an annual deep-dive and you need a questionnaire that people actually finish. Produces a 22-question survey covering engagement, manager quality, compensation fairness, and belonging, a shorter 8-question pulse version for between cycles, and an analysis template that separates high-impact scores from vanity metrics. Includes an anonymous-launch email, a comms plan for sharing results, and follow-up commitments that rebuild trust when scores are flat. Works in Culture Amp, Lattice, or a plain Google Form.
