We know this year has been difficult for many people around the globe. And as a team who specializes in workforce research, we know HR professionals have been hit particularly hard, because you’ve been asked to do so much to support your people and your organizations.
At QuestionPro, Empathy at Scale is our philosophy, so in addition to thinking though the most important survey questions to ask, we suggested some intro text in such a way to make your employees know the survey is in their best interest and will be truly used to improve their experience with the culture by making them happier and more productive.
We hope that this hybrid work survey guide helps you at least a bit as you continue to have such an important impact to those in your organization, and beyond.

Introduction to the employees (email/messaging template)
It’s been an incredibly challenging time during the pandemic for workers across the world, including for all of you inside our organization. There are many considerations to keep in mind as we decide the best way ahead, and we have worked hard to try to make the best decision in how we return to physical work spaces for both our people and our business.
