Employee Opinion Questionnaires: 20 Ready-to-Use Surveys that Work Wiley/Pfeiffer, 2005

Reviewer: Mike R. Plummer, Organizational and Human Resource Consultant, Jacksonville, FL: "The Connolly's latest book on employee surveys is an outstanding reference for survey practitioners (like myself) as well as for those who may be doing their first survey. The book is packed with practical ideas on the entire survey process. The 20 ready-to-use surveys are excellent and support the trend towards quick, issue-focused surveys vs.. comprehensive employee surveys. The authors have freely shared their extensive knowledge and experience about employee surveys. It's almost like they poured their life's work into the book. I'm really impressed with this book and pleased to add to my reference library on surveys". (On Amazon.com)

“… HR professionals can make good use of the sort of organizational snapshot that a good employee survey provides... One solution to this is the ready-made questionnaire, and now there's a compilation of 20 proven surveys for HR..."Employee Opinion Questionnaires: 20 Ready-to-Use Surveys That Work"... The guidelines on selecting, interpreting, and managing the surveys are helpful, as is the information the Connollys have gleaned from a variety of employers in their Employee Feedback Database. Most helpful of all is the included CD-ROM …”
 

The Employee Survey How-To Book Package

Performance Programs, Inc., 2nd Edition, 2006

Reviewer: Jay from Omaha, NE United States, Amazon.com:

"Our medical practice wanted to implement a comprehensive employee survey, and previous surveys done by practice management consultants seemed to create more bad than good. The survey book and guidebook by Connolly and Connolly provided good advice and a ton of sample questions. I was able to prepare a 100-question survey from scratch in about six hours. The Connollys' advice about pre-screening the survey with employees was also helpful; it helped me weed out some poor questions, add some better ones, and created a starting point for employee support of the survey We will launch the survey in a few weeks to our 110 employees. If you don't have thousands of dollars to spend on a survey firm and want to make a first try in-house, this seems like the resource you need to have."

Reviewer: Claudette Bujold-Poirier from Jackson, TN, on Amazon.com:

"PPI's employee survey package is excellent! Period. First and foremost, it provided what was most important to us.. a reliable and valid instrument. The rest is pure gravy. It's easy to use, easy to follow, and has useful real-life examples. Our team confidently put together a 24-question survey, in a relatively short period of time, and used the feedback method recommended to deliver results. We'll use it again for our follow-up survey. I highly recommend it."

"...a great resource manual for us...I'll feel on safe and steady ground using it to counsel my clients..."

Reviewer: Ruth M. Brennan, Ph.D., President, Business Intelligence Quest, Trumbull, CT, on Amazon.com

"The only aspect of employee surveys that this new book...does not provide is doing the employee survey for you."
