Low levels of engagement can lead to poor productivity, high employee turnover and disappointing results. This can impact the profitability of your business and make it harder to hit your long-term goals. [![Get In Touch](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/25041294/interactive-182143039680.png)](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLIleBW75lfhJSSaA74fIewBFbNqF%2B%2FGIDl84EnMRCHtGhZ%2FiCnTGKAbnitPOAMPjRo9MDlMlPT%2FzgxtBJV4%2FqnC890Y9mhOunn2L1KwQY4PN%2FwgB9SuUlu3LwbLVCU6GAmzEMT5HWYJJX7QQiRwrFtO5YywuQ%2BYYzhBxSB5S4LRap%2BaMpfW9i7m1T%2B0IqYdISC%2BpqIRi%2FNpMeNs8g%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=182143039680&portalId=25041294) An effective way to improve employee engagement is to carry out a [specialist survey](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/employee-engagement-surveys). Designed to measure and assess how motivated and engaged your employees are, these surveys are a powerful HR tool. Used well, they can give you the information you need to improve the work environment, enhance the employee experience and ensure everyone in your organisation is working towards the same goals. So, how often should an employee engagement survey be conducted? And what should you do with the valuable information you receive? ## **Annual Check-In** Knowing how often to carry out an employee engagement survey can be tricky. Survey your employees too often, and you may find you haven’t had enough time to implement the changes indicated by your previous survey. Leave it too long however, and you may fail to catch important shifts in the employee experience. Most businesses find that an annual check-in works well. Leaving 12 months between surveys gives you time to make any necessary changes and ensures you catch any [serious alterations](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/employee-engagement-surveys) in employee attitude before it’s too late. ## **Other Considerations** When deciding how often to conduct an employee engagement survey, it’s important to think about what your team members have been through over the past few months. For example, if you’ve made some [major changes](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/blog/understanding-behaviour-of-employees) in the previous year, you may want to survey your employees more regularly to make sure everything is going smoothly. On the other hand, if things at your organisation have stayed largely the same, you may be able to leave it slightly longer between surveys. ## **What Is The Purpose Of An Employee Engagement Survey?** The purpose of an employee engagement survey is to measure and assess how motivated and [engaged your employees are](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/blog/how-to-recognise-employees-lacking-engagement). Often this will indicate how committed your team members are to your organisation and how much energy and drive they’re willing to put into their roles. The information you get from your survey should help you to improve the work environment and enhance the employee experience. It can also help you spot areas where team members may be dissatisfied and give you the information you need to put things right. Done well, regular employee engagement surveys can help to improve employee morale,[boost retention rates](https://www.pdwgroup.co.uk/blog/the-best-engagement-surveys) and help your business to become more dynamic, more unified and more competitive.
