When you’re a company, you can’t collect data that’s specific to your employees. But you can collect data specific to your employees’ managers, and then you can use it to analyze your company. By using the company-specific data, you can analyze what trends, risks and opportunities are present in your company.
With the right tools, companies can actually get a good handle on what the most important aspects of their business to their employees are as well as what the most important aspects of their business to their competitors are. This allows for better hiring and retention decisions to be made, and makes it much easier for your company to figure out what you want from your employees.
One of the things I found most interesting about this survey is the sheer breadth of the questions. For example, one question asked what kind of company you are (it asked about the size of your workforce, the type of industry you work in, etc.) and another asked what kind of company you are. Another one asked what you do in your spare time.
The only thing we can say about the company in question here is that it’s clearly not in the same category as the other companies.
No, it’s not. The other companies we’ve worked at have all had their own employees. So there’s a lot of scope for making a list of things to do for your own company.
You can ask about a company’s employees, their salary, the hours they work, and if they have any vacation time (or even if they don’t). In our experience, asking about these things is just as important as asking about salary, hours, or the company’s market capitalization. The best thing you can do is find out what kind of company and industry you work in and then tailor your questions to that.
For example, a company like mine might have a good idea of what type of person they want to hire, the type of team they want to assemble, and the things that they value most. This can translate into a list of things to ask employees about (like what they do for a living, what their hours are, who their co-workers are, etc). If you are an employee or a shareholder of a company, the best way to collect such information is through the company website.
But if it’s a company, then you have to ask employees about what is their favorite food and what they like to eat. When you ask for information about what things the company recommends, you are also asking employees about what they don’t like.
Again, the fact that employees don’t want to talk about things that they like is something we as researchers should research. But there is a difference between asking employees about what things they dont like and what they do. We should also think about the fact that employees are not always the best people to be asking questions about what they like. We are a human race, not a robot.
A lot of times, companies have something that we as researchers can use. But we should also be aware of what things we are asking them to do and ask them a few questions to figure out if that is actually the best thing for them to do.
