Create your own drivers and questions as a part of the survey
Custom questions are questions added to extend the standard question battery. These questions are answered on a scale of 1-5 and can be sent to targeted groups or to the entire organization. You can also add your own advice to the questions.
Scenario
As an organization, you are working with your company’s values on a regular basis, these are a natural part of everyone’s day-to-day work. As these are important to your organization, you may want to measure how the employees are experiencing these values. To obtain this, you create a custom driver named "Company X values" where you place your custom questions, covering your internal values to get feedback from your employees on these topics. The custom questions will be added as positive statements as the statements will be answered with a value between 1-5.
Add a driver
- Navigate to Settings and Questions
- Press the Add driver button
- Enter the name of the driver in English. If you want the driver in another language press Add Translation
The driver can be seen as the category of the questions you want to ask that will get a driver value based on the questions in it. Examples of drivers can be company-specific questions, company values, etc.
Add a question
If you want to add a question to your survey, you will have to create a driver before adding the question. It is recommended to create new drivers for your own questions. However, you can also add a question to an already existing driver. To add a new question to a driver, proceed by
- Pressing the Add question button
- Enter the question in English. In step 7 you'll continue to add translations for other languages if preferred.
- Either choose to include the question in the overall Engagement index or not and also select if the question should be allowed to skip
Note: If you decide to add your own questions, you will not be able to see a benchmark score outside of your own organization. We recommend that you do not include your additional question(s) in the Engagement Index unless it is a question you plan on consistently using.
There is no limit to the number of question that can be added and included in the Engagement Survey. But we do recommend to be mindful of the number as to many questions can cause survey fatigue.
It is also recommended that you do not allow your employees to skip questions.
