This is going to be a very short post. I have 484 completed leadership surveys which represents a 93% response rate! I am thrilled with this outcome. I think that the key success factor in this outcome was the team approach that was used. CEO sponsorship, HR Delegates and researcher (myself) provided the right level of information and accountability through targeted communication and customized follow-up directed at leaders. This follow-up communication let them know the percentage complete for their organization, and reiterated the expectation of a 100% response rate. I also provided a fair amount of 1-off support with leaders who were experiencing technology issues or who repeatedly deleted the survey link!
It has been a very busy week between final follow-up with leaders, work travel, and then sending out thank-you notes to my key partners in collected this data. I am going to do some errands now and then CHILLAX!!
