Business Spectator BCA Recruit

Thank you very much for your interest in participating in the new Business Spectator BCA CEO Pulse Survey which will explore the opinions of Australia's leading CEOs on a range of topical issues.

Please see below for some more detailed information on how it will work, or you can skip to the bottom of the page to indicate your interest.

Here’s how it will work

The survey will be sent to all members of the Business Council of Australia (BCA) and, through this email, we are also inviting CEOs of top 200 ASX listed companies who are not BCA members to participate.

If you opt-in, we will send you and your company’s CEO an email with a link to an online survey once a month. The survey will contain no more than eight questions and we expect it will take around five minutes to complete. It will be open for around three days. It is important that the answers come from the CEO. You can either leave your CEO to fill it in online or you can print it out, ask the CEO the questions and fill it in online yourself on their behalf.

Here’s what we’ll do with the findings

We will publish the findings on Business Spectator and may release highlights to other media. We will send a copy of the findings directly to key political advisors in Canberra. All CEOs who participate will also be sent a report of the results before they are published.

What about confidentiality?

Survey responses will not be attributed to individuals. The research will be conducted by specialist market research firm GA Research who will provide Business Spectator and the BCA with the results of the findings in aggregate form only. GA Research is a member of the Association of Market and Social Research Organisations (AMSRO) and adheres to the Market and Social Research Privacy Principles. We will however list the names of the companies who have participated for credibility purposes.

Why should your company participate?

The Business Spectator BCA CEO Pulse will provide an important voice for leaders of the Australian business community and allow them to contribute regularly and directly to the economic debate that influences and guides the development of policy and governance in Australia. Your CEO will receive a report on the results simultaneous with publishing on Business Spectator. Participants will also have the opportunity to submit their own questions or topic areas for possible inclusion.

Thank you very much for registering your interest in the Business Spectator BCA CEO Pulse Survey. We expect to send out the first monthly survey in September 2009.

In the meantime, we are interested in whether there are any particular question areas you think would be useful to pose to the CEOs of Australia’s top companies for consideration and possible inclusion in the first few surveys. Note you will be given the opportunity to suggest questions at the end of each survey.
