Dear All,

Employee Opinion Survey | MONTH YEAR

An Employee Opinion Survey will be launched across the organisation on [Date].  The purpose of this survey is to give all employees an opportunity to share your opinions and feedback on a range of areas that impact staff.  This important initiative will help us to develop plans to ensure we continue to provide a work environment that is both attractive and rewarding to staff and supports us in delivering a high standard of service to the community.

As part of the LGNSW Employer of Choice Program, we have engaged their partners at Mastertek to conduct the survey as an independent third-party.  All information submitted will be treated confidentially and will be anonymous.  Only Mastertek staff will have access to your individual survey responses and they will prepare a summary of the feedback for us.

We are encouraging all staff to complete the survey online, though there is also an opportunity to complete a paper-based questionnaire if you prefer.  For those employees completing a paper questionnaire, a series of facilitated on-site sessions will be held throughout [Month] to assist in this regard (please see Key Dates below).

At the conclusion of the survey process, a summary of the survey results will be made available to all Council staff.

Your feedback is invaluable to the [Council] as it will provide a clear indication of what you think we are doing well as an organisation, and the areas that we need to focus on for improvement.  I’d really like to encourage each and every one of you to participate and share your feedback, helping to ensure that the findings represent the views of all employees.

If you have any questions about the survey please contact [Name, Email, Phone].

Thank you in advance for your participation, and I look forward to discussing the findings with you. 

Kind Regards,

NAME

GENERAL MANAGER/CEO
