This training is held in German.
Targeted employee surveys and regular pulse checks are important levers for driving forward modern HR work in these times. In this training , you will learn how feedback data can be used systematically to sustainably increase employee satisfaction, innovative strength and company success. Whether in corporations or SMEs - an employee-centered feedback culture is possible and is also becoming increasingly important for blue-collar employees without a PC and desk. Structured surveys provide valuable insights to anchor resilience in the corporate culture in the long term and address the specific expectations (e.g. of Generation Z and Alpha). Learn practical methods to design effective surveys and thus strengthen the participation and motivation of your workforce.
