Describe the use of survey feedback in organizations.
What will be an ideal response?
Survey feedback is one of the most commonly employed OD techniques. Data are
collected from employees regarding their attitudes toward work, and their confidentiality
is assured. These data are then analyzed and reported back to the organization as
group averages. This report becomes a starting point for further OD efforts, which may
result in task forces to address the concerns identified in the survey. Most large
organizations today conduct attitude surveys of their employees—typically on an annual
basis. Participation in surveys should be organization-wide to ensure that the survey
results accurately reflect employee attitudes. Surveys are a key tool for understanding
important organizational issues.
