What types of surveys does Newmeasures offer?
Our most popular surveys are our one-page Employee Survey and Manager Survey, which each take only 5 minutes to complete. We have recently introduced a suite of products (ee+) that allow you to customize your employee engagement survey by adding targeted modules.

How large is the Newmeasures database?
Our database contains responses from over 850,000 individuals, and continues to grow by the day. The Newmeasures database dates from 1998 and provides a very contemporary look at the attitudes and opinions of workers in America in a range of organizations.

Why should an organization ask employees to rate their managers?
Newmeasures has found that managerial competency is the No. 1 defining trait in employee retention. Without an objective measure, it is nearly impossible to determine how your managers are doing – or to pinpoint their specific leadership weaknesses. Our Manager Survey identifies what managers can do better and provides a specific, step-by-step process to help them improve their skills – ultimately strengthening both individual managers and corporate retention efforts.

How does the Newmeasures Manager Survey work?
Intended to be used primarily with front-line managers, the survey identifies behaviors that are essential for successful management. The Newmeasures Manager Survey is short, easy to use, and competitively priced. Within two weeks of survey completion, managers receive a confidential report with an 18-page manual that offers step-by-step guidelines for creating a plan to improve leadership skills.

What other modules are currently available with the “ee+” product?
Modules to address manager effectiveness, nurse satisfaction, ethics, diversity, retention, compensation/benefits and generational differences are available.

How can a one-page questionnaire tell me what is going on in an organization?
Not only do Newmeasures surveys represent the “best of the best” questions taken from a much longer employee survey, but they also meet all tests for reliability and validity. Call us for details of the science underlying the surveys.

Can customers add questions to the core questions on the survey?
Yes, customers routinely add custom questions to our core 16 questions. Custom questions, in addition to our new “ee+” suite of products, allow them to individualize survey results for their unique circumstances.

After taking a survey, how does an organization know what to work on?
The Newmeasures survey report provides more than a simple list of how each question scored. We perform high-level analyses and show you the one or two drivers, most strongly related to organizational effectiveness and employee engagement.

How do you handle customer service?
Newmeasures offers unparalleled customer service. We are available before, during and after the survey process to answer your questions and lend support. We are available by phone or in person, depending upon your needs, and routinely conduct videoconferences with customers at multiple sites to explain survey results.
