As long as you employ at least 15 full- and part-time permanent employees in Commercial or Group Insurance, you are eligible!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Yes, we will treat each company as a separate employer and survey them individually. Each subsidiary company must still hold to the minimum requirement of 15 full- and part-time permanent employees working within Commercial or Group Insurance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
No. If you are one company with multiple locations in the programme area that operates using the same Registered Company Number and same set of benefits and procedures, please submit one registration for all locations. In most scenarios, the company used to determine the employee count will be the company whose name appears on the employees’ paycheques and from whom the employees derive their employee benefits. If you have questions about this, please contact us.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
Yes, as long as you have employees working in the UK and are able to provide a UK mailing address for your business, you are eligible to participate. Only employees working in or directly reporting into UK are eligible to participate in the survey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
The good news is we are looking for a response rate of 30% (or greater)** so it isn\u2019t necessary that every employee who receives a survey chooses to participate; however, we certainly encourage submission of honest feedback as the higher the response rate, the more representative the analysis will be of your company as a whole. This will aid in your company getting the most out of the collected data. **Organisations with 15-24 employees must reach an 60% (or greater) response rate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
If purchased, you will receive access to the EnGauge<\/em> platform which includes access to your organisation\u2019s data on our interactive online dashboard. This dashboard contains multiple levels of reporting with drill downs, charts and graphs. View percentage of positive and negative responses to each of the approximately 77 questions asked of employees as well employee comments, and employee and employer benchmarking data. Benchmarking reports are great for comparing your organisation to this year\u2019s list-making participants. EnGauge <\/em>will be delivered shortly after notification of list-making status have been sent to participating organisations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> You will receive a welcome email and an instructions packet detailing important deadlines for the programme. Please refer to the Timeline<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Participating organisations must complete a two-part process to be considered for inclusion on the list. The first part consists of evaluating each registered company\u2019s workplace policies, practices, and demographics. The second part consists of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. The combined scores determine the top companies and which companies are included on the list. Best Companies Group (BCG) manages the overall registration and survey process and also analyses the data and uses our expertise to determine the final rankings.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> For this programme, only employees working in Commercial or Group Insurance within the UK are eligible to be surveyed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> No, please do not include any of the above in the survey process. We only survey full- and part-time permanent employees. Seasonal, temporary, per diem, independent contractors, interns, volunteers or consultants should not be included in the survey process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> If you have 250 or fewer eligible employees in your organisation, then the answer is yes! If you employ more than 250 associates in Commercial or Group Insurance, a random sample of up to 400 employees will be selected to complete the survey. We will perform this random selection for companies based on the list we receive from you through the Employee Upload Portal sent shortly after registration. Best Companies Group offers the option to survey more employees than the random sample. Contact surveyenhancements@bestcompaniesgroup.com<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Managers, owners, and executives should all be included in the survey process as long as they are working in or reporting directly into Commercial or Group Insurance. We want to hear their opinion, too!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> It should only take about 10 to 15 minutes for each associate to complete the employee survey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> The EQ may take up to an hour or more to complete, depending on how accessible the information is regarding your company\u2019s policies, practices and demographics. We suggest viewing the sample under the Assessment Process<\/a> tab to begin collecting data prior to the initial EQ launch. The EQ is completed and submitted online.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Companies will submit a list of employee email addresses. We will send a direct email invitation to employees which contains unique access information where employees can submit their confidential responses via the online survey. Please note: Company email accounts work best for our survey process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Yes, employees without email addresses can use access codes<\/a> to enable them to take part in the survey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> Yes, for a fee, the job role and department demographic categories can be customised on the employee survey. After registering, a survey specialist will work closely with you to determine the appropriate categories and help you get the most out of our survey process! Additional customisation options are available including location breakouts, adding additional survey questions or surveying employees outside of the programme area. Please contact BCG Support at surveyenhancements@bestcompaniesgroup.com<\/a> for more information. What is customisation?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> We do offer employee surveys in a variety of additional languages! There will be a \u00a3180 fee for the language bundle to cover the cost of translation. Please refer to the registration form for our current language options or contact surveyenhancements@bestcompaniesgroup.com<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div> You will receive regular periodic email updates throughout the survey process. We\u2019ve also included the Timeline<\/a> on the website. Each organisation is responsible for meeting all deadlines and completing each step in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Survey Process<\/h3><\/div>
