For employers, the best thing you can do when assessing your employees’ satisfactory rating is to give them questionnaires once every three months. The questionnaires should include a “1 to 10” rating system and should include questions like, “do I still like my job?”, or “do we have harmony in the office?”.

If you fear about your employees being dishonest in their surveys, make the survey forms anonymous and assure them that no marks or creases have been made on the forms to identify them. Make it institutional too to avoid wary employees accusing you of doing the “knock-out round elimination” system to track them down. The keyword here is to listen. Listen to your employees’ concerns and address them as early as possible before their performance gets affected.
