The number of providers of employee surveys may be infinite.  Try a search and see what you find.  Today, a search on "employee surveys" revealed 124,000 results.  They come in every imaginable configuration.  So if you have been charged with initiating a survey for your organization, here is some practical advice.  Employee surveys fall into two basic buckets, standard and custom.  If you have a specific issue(s) or situation(s) about which you wish to ask your employees, a custom employee survey would be your best course of action.  Custom employee surveys are more expensive, call for a greater level of support from outside professionals, but can yield insights designed specifically to your interests.  On the other hand, if your interest is to begin or sustain a process of gaining a basic understanding about how your employees perceive their employment situation, there are several very thorough and effective standardized tools available.  The price difference is enormous.  Let’s say you have 500 employees.  For an organization that size, a standardized employee survey may only cost a few thousand dollars while a custom survey will likely be over $10,000, and may approach over $30,000.  It takes some time to sort through the 124,000 responses to a search on employee surveys so it will be worth your while to seek professionals who are familiar with the tools (surveys), how they function, their validation, and the quality of their output.  These professionals will bring value through the time you save in sourcing and administering the process.  Employee surveys are a very valuable tool for management.  If employees can see their organization take action as a result of survey feedback, the tool becomes powerful and motivational.  The benefit is well worth the cost.
