HR Representative
The HR team plays a critical role in providing employee data to set up and manage the survey. HR colleagues have access to accurate workforce information and can ensure that employee records, demographic data, and organisational structures are correctly reflected within the survey. Their involvement helps ensure the survey is configured accurately, supports meaningful reporting, and provides a smooth experience for employees from launch through to results.
Survey Champions
Survey champions act as advocates for the survey across the organisation. They help build awareness, encourage participation, answer employee questions, and generate enthusiasm throughout the survey process. Having champions from different departments or locations can help increase engagement and trust.
