Employee Consultation

Consulting with employees is becoming paramount for good business practice. Within organisations employee focus groups can be a valuable method of finding out how staff experience all aspects of the workplace.

Examples of the use of employee focus groups include:

To clarify information from staff surveys
You may have recently completed a staff survey which has thrown up some areas that require further clarification. Focus groups are an excellent way of finding out the meaning behind the statistics.

Evaluating Training
Many organisations run training courses and the usual evaluation is a tick box questionnaire distributed by the trainers. By using independently facilitated focus groups, trainees can meet as a group to share their views and experiences leading to constructive suggestions for improvement.

Evaluating Stress
The Health and Safety executive recommend the use of focus groups as part of their management standards in evaluating the risks and potential causes of stress within organisations.

Of course this list isn’t exhaustive...
