Benefits of global employee engagement surveys
Measuring employee engagement is an important first step in working proactively with employee engagement and employee experience. And the more internationally distributed your workforce is, the more you rely on employee surveys to collect feedback. How else are you going to get an overview of your organization's temperature and level of engagement?
If you don't take a systematic approach to measuring employee engagement, you will only have the "hunches" and "gut feeling" of different stakeholders to rely on. Not a very solid foundation for strategic business decisions, in other words!

Benefits of global employee engagement surveys include:
You get the complete picture. With smart surveys and user-friendly dashboards showing intuitive heatmaps of your whole organization, you know exactly what is going on – and where you need to focus your attention.
You can leverage benchmark and monitor progress. Using a platform like Eletive, you have access to global employee engagement benchmark data. This means you can use your collected data to compare different segments in your organizations, based on any HR data, to understand what parts are working and where there is room for improvement.
You can make data-driven decisions. Global employee engagement surveys take all guesswork out of the equation. By turning data collected into valuable insights, you can use it to inform your business strategies and action plans.
A better employee experience. Many employees feel most comfortable using their native language. A multilingual survey allows everyone in your organization to read and answer the surveys in their preferred language.
Pulse surveys in multiple languages
With Eletive, employees can easily choose in what language they prefer to answer the survey.
If your organization operates in many countries, you need to provide all employees a way to answer the employee engagement surveys in their own language. The Eletive surveys are multi-lingual and support more than 30 different languages.
KIOSK functionality
In some countries and some industries, it's less common for all employees to have access to a company phone, computer, and company email. Therefore, Eletive offers a functionality called Eletive KIOSK, commonly used for employees working in warehouses or production.
When using KIOSK mode, neither phone number nor email is needed. Instead, each employee receives a unique code that they can use to answer the survey on the device of your selection. That device can, for example, be a shared tablet or computer that everyone can access. Employees simply enter their code and answer the survey.
