We are keen to support businesses as the coronavirus situation develops, so have been considering how our skills can be utilised to help.

Our skills are delivering research surveys, so we have developed a short survey to elicit feedback from stakeholders on how organisations are responding to the crisis.

If your organisation is facing the challenge of keeping in touch with, or managing contingency plans for stakeholders, then please get in touch and to discuss how Survey Solutions can support you.

The questionnaire we’ve developed is about 25-30 questions long (ca. 5 minute duration), and covers the following areas.

For employees:

• Keeping staff informed of and confident in the actions being taken by the organisation
• Making sure that there is appropriate support for staff during the crisis
• Managing concerns and issues that may prevent employees being able to make the contribution needed at a critical time

For customers:

• Are customer needs being considered and managed
• Are there clear points of contact for the organisation during the crisis
• What is the impact on the products and services
• Are there longer term plans ready and in place

In addition to our core questions, we anticipate that a few customised questions for your organisations will be needed.

From this feedback the organisation can quickly get reliable information which can inform decision-making, while not taking away the resource of key personnel who are already fully at capacity with other activity.

Due to the nature of this crisis, and recognising the economic impact on many organisations, we are offering this survey on a heavily discounted basis, so we can make this service accessible for as many of our clients as possible.

This comes with all the usual Survey Solutions services:

• Expert senior researcher guidance on the questionnaire design

• Online surveys that adapt to different devices, smartphone, tablet, laptops etc.
• Sophisticated reporting tools available from our online platform
