Keeping great employees isn’t just about perks and paychecks; it’s about making them feel heard, supported, and connected to the company’s mission. That’s where employee surveys come in. Done right, they’re a powerful tool to boost engagement and reduce turnover.

Let’s explore how you can use surveys to understand what your team really needs, and how tools like QPoint make it easier than ever to take action.

Why Engagement and Retention Matter More Than Ever

Employee disengagement costs companies billions every year. High turnover disrupts teams, drains budgets, and damages morale. But here’s the good news: employees who feel their voices are heard are 4.6 times more likely to perform at their best.

That’s where regular employee surveys come in. They help you:

Measure employee satisfaction and engagement

Uncover pain points before they turn into resignations

Spot trends across teams, departments, or locations

Make data-backed decisions that improve culture and productivity

What to Ask: Key Survey Topics to Boost Retention

Not sure where to start? Here are some essential areas your survey should cover:

Job satisfaction: How do employees feel about their roles, responsibilities, and growth opportunities?

Workplace culture: Do they feel respected, included, and aligned with company values?

Management feedback: Are leaders supporting their teams effectively?

Communication: Do employees feel informed and comfortable sharing feedback?

Work-life balance: Are workloads manageable? Are flexible policies working?

Tip: Don’t overload a single survey with 50 questions. Instead, send shorter, focused check-ins regularly (monthly or quarterly).
