Why invest in an Employee Engagement Survey?
The importance of having engaged employees is not something to overlook or leave to chance. Studies show that engaged employees are committed to the success of your organization and bring their discretionary energy and passion to work, which in turn leads to higher customer satisfaction, increased productivity, less staff turnover, and greater profitability.
In addition to reporting your organization’s overall engagement levels (engaged, partially engaged, and disengaged), HR Source’s employee engagement survey is a valuable tool for gathering information on organizational strengths, employee commitment, and opportunities for improvement.
- Relevant. Our engagement survey provides feedback on a number of workplace areas including work life satisfaction, communication, management effectiveness, total rewards, recognition, operations, and organizational practices.
- Flexible. Our survey is available in English and Spanish, and employees can participate online, on the phone, or on paper.
- Capable. We will prepare, deploy, collect, analyze, and report your survey results.

Employee Engagement Surveys FAQs
How often should I conduct an employee engagement survey?
Most organizations survey their employees every few years. This timeframe allows enough opportunity to act on feedback and implement meaningful improvements before the next survey cycle. If you’d like more frequent check‑ins, you may also consider our Express Employee Engagement Survey as a lighter option between full survey cycles.
How much does an employee engagement survey cost?
The total investment typically includes a base fee plus a per‑participant cost. Pricing can vary based on several factors, including the survey method (online or paper), the level of question customization, and the number of additional reports or breakout groups requested. We’d love to provide a customized quote once we learn more about your specific project and goals.
Why should I outsource my employee engagement survey to HR Source?
Using a trusted outside partner will yield more credible data, greater employee confidence, and higher participation rates than conducting the survey internally. HR Source provides advanced analytics, benchmarking, and user-friendly technology that transform your survey results into clear, actionable insights, helping you make meaningful improvements that strengthen your workplace.
Does your employee engagement survey measure both satisfaction and engagement?
It sure does! Our survey is designed to assess both employee satisfaction and overall engagement, giving you a comprehensive understanding of the employee experience.
What key areas are surveyed?
Our survey focuses on 10 key areas: executive leadership effectiveness, supervisory management effectiveness, communication, pay, benefits, operational effectiveness, organizational practices, employee development and recognition, work life satisfaction, and employee commitment.
How long is HR Source’s employee engagement survey?
Our standard survey consists of 62 validated questions measured on a 5‑point Likert scale ranging from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree.” It also includes two open‑ended questions that capture employees’ perspectives on the most positive aspects of working in your organization, as well as the key challenges they experience. This combination of metrics and insights provides a well-rounded understanding of your workplace culture.
Can we compare our results to other employers and organizations?
Definitely! HR Source will benchmark your results against national normative data from the Employer Associations of America (EAA) National Engagement Index, giving you context that internal results alone can’t provide. It allows you to see how your organization’s engagement levels stack up against employers nationwide.
If I repeat the survey in future years, can my results be compared over time?
Absolutely. We offer year‑over‑year comparison reports that highlight trends, improvements, and areas needing attention, giving you a clear view of how employee engagement is evolving.
Can my results be broken out by specific employee groups?
Yup! We can generate separate reports for any employee group with at least six responses. Results can be segmented by department, full-time or part-time status, length of service, employee classification, or other relevant categories.
Does the survey include an analysis of our results?
Definitely. After your survey is complete, we provide a comprehensive analysis that includes an executive summary of the overall statistical findings, a review of narrative comments, and recommended action steps tailored to your organization.
What if we need help following up on our employee engagement survey results?
A strong employee engagement survey project doesn’t end with the report! HR Source can help leadership teams interpret the findings, prioritize issues, and turn results into realistic action plans that can be tracked over time.
