INFORMATION FOR MANAGING

Employee Opinion Surveying

Successful organizations are learning to listen to their people. This enables them to 1) discover and confront problems before they prove too costly in their effect as well as resolution and 2) maximize the positive trends occurring in the organization while the opportunity to do so exists. In surveying onboard employees, ORION SYSTEMS anonymously creates an avenue of input from your work force. Employee-management relations, training, quality, customer service, job satisfaction, fairness, and loss prevention are a few examples of areas in which critical employee feedback can be analyzed through the use of ORION employee opinion surveys.

Surveying For Improved Operations & Decreased Shrinkage

The personnel, procedures and policies of an organization give it a culture unlike any other. Identifying these allow employees to minimize uncertainty and efficiently carry out the organization's mission.

Corporate culture can also spawn personnel, procedures and policies that decrease efficiency and raise costs. Management has a need for information from all areas of the organization to analyze these issues. Simply put, management has a need to inquire and listen. Information from the workforce can lead to improved strategies that will keep the company operation smoothly and efficiently.

ORION SYSTEMS provides this process in the form of the SHRINKAGE REVIEW employee opinion survey. This powerful management tool uses company personnel to identify and modify negative behaviors and procedures. A variety of specialized surveys exist for industries including retail, grocery, food service, manufacturing, and others.

The SHRINKAGE REVIEW historically has been a tool for loss prevention in the retail industries. We also offer many different surveys dealing with other issues based on the SHRINKAGE REVIEW techniques and methods. Through customization we are able to address any topic of concern.

THE ORION METHOD

The ORION method of employee surveying is based on two facts. First, employees "in the trenches" know a great deal about the day-to-day operations within a company. Second, employees are most likely to respond in a candid, productive manner if they are sure their feedback will not be credited to them by management or peers. Our anonymous, confidential approach used in administering and processing ORION surveys tells the workforce you are acting responsibly and maintaining complete privacy with their open and honest feed back.

Your workers will see that their organization is interested in, and will act upon, the opportunities and problems revealed in the survey report. This positive impact on morale is exhibited by and ORION SYSTEMS study involving 1,400 employees of a national company. In response to a direct question, 99.5% of these 1,400 workers stated they appreciated the opportunity to express their views and opinions about the company.

Orion Systems means having access to a wide variety of information gathering tools that assist management with its day-to-day decision making. The program is based on fair, non-intimidating, economical and convenient methods that mold to you current hiring and employee surveying process.

Orion assessment and the standardization of the interview process they provide, insure EEOC compliance and eliminate most interviewer bias. Factors such as client training, comprehensive validity studies, EEOC conformity, privacy assurance techniques, and our non-threatening, non-invasive approach all contribute to a lack of litigation.

The ORION PE assessment measures basic job-relevant attitudes regarding substance abuse, theft in the work place, positive work habits and supervision acceptance and potential. Further ratings are provided in the areas of tenure/advancement potential, based on comparison with ORION SYSTEMS database. This cooperative analysis section provides the interviewer with a tremendous amount of information in a condensed format that is very easy to interpret.

Before the above mentioned measures are reviewed, the PE applicant profile offers a Validity Index. The Validity Index measures whether the applicant was attempting to disguise their true attitudes and behaviors. After review of the Validity Index and Comparative Analysis section, the interviewer comes to the Post-survey Interview section. This structured interview is generated based on the applicant's responses. Potential problematic areas of concern can the be probed in-depth to determine if a true problem exists, or is in reality insignificant. Highly experienced interviewers save time with this format, while less skilled interviewers are empowered with the advantages of a structured interview section.

ORION SYSTEMS assessments are at the forefront of sophistication, technology and most important, accuracy. They combine interview techniques and written assessment procedures with computer technology, providing an unequaled exchange of information between you and your applicants.
