Info for Participants and Organizations

This section provides information and options for organizations participating in the ALTEC 2010 Employee Engagement Survey.

1. While the survey questions are standard, certain companies might want to add other options such as which department the participant works in. To accommodate this, ALTEC can slightly modify "additional questions" on the EES, as long as the core questions and responses remain in the database. In this case, ALTEC would make a copy of the EES, then adapt it to the needs of the organization (within reason, for free; substantial changes = cost to company). This is done on a case-by-case basis.

2. ALTEC will ask each participating organization to provide the names and email addresses of all organization participants in an excel spreadsheet format. ALTEC will use this information to generate email invitations to each participant to take the survey. Participants must take the survey online, and each participant has their own unique identifier and link to the survey.

3. Participants make take the survey as many times as they wish, however only their most recent responses will be stored in the database. ALTEC reserves the right to change this to a single-time access only, based on the preferences of our survey authors and administrators.
   

4. Participants that do not take the survey or respond to the invitation will be sent a "reminder" a reasonable amount of time before the survey cutoff date. Surveys that last all year still have cutoffs at certain times for data analysis and preliminary reports. A yearlong survey cutoff would not make the survey inaccessible, but data would be pulled from the database at key dates, and only data included by the time of the cutoff would be included in any reports.

5. Data Pull Cutoff dates:

• 31 March for initial 30 companies
• 30 June for 2Q
• 30 September for 3Q
• 1 November for 4Q
