We know that conducting regular surveys can be incredibly empowering for organizations!

When it comes to preferred methods, you might be wondering about the main difference between standard and anonymous surveys. Well, it all boils down to whether the responses can be linked to the employees who provided them.

So, why are anonymous surveys so effective? Because they show your employees that their feedback is taken seriously without any fear of repercussions. This builds a culture of trust and transparency, making your workplace even better.

Anonymous survey tools are fantastic because they make employees feel safe by protecting their identities. This safety encourages them to share their honest opinions, allowing you to gather invaluable insights from your team.

With these insights, your organization can identify areas for improvement and create a more collaborative and productive work environment. It’s a win-win for everyone involved!

Ready to dive into learning how to do an anonymous survey in Microsoft Teams for your organization? Let’s get started!

Why conduct anonymous surveys in Microsoft Teams?

Ever wondered what makes a good survey completion rate? Well, there’s no simple answer like “It should be 50%, 70%, or…” Because your results should be considered within your organization and the benchmark should be set internally. However, we do have a crucial trick to boost your survey completion rate.

Our trick is as simple as integrating surveys into your workflow. Keeping them where your team communicates and collaborates makes this process easier.

So, your organization is heavily using Microsoft Teams for daily communication and collaborations; this is where you should be conducting your surveys.

Thanks to its customizable nature, Microsoft Teams could unlock the potential to become your primary survey tool. You can integrate native apps to do anonymous surveys in Microsoft Teams.

Today we are leveraging the highest-rated performance management tool, Teamflect, as your Microsoft Teams survey tool. Check out Temflect’s capabilities and discover why it’s your go-to employee engagement survey tool!

Why not Microsoft Forms?

Microsoft Forms is great for quick, anonymous questionnaires, but it can struggle with more complex and detailed anonymous feedback forms.

The main challenge is that Microsoft Forms requires manual editing and lacks a follow-up feature to ensure everyone has completed the survey.

We know that, from a broader perspective, surveys are part of employee engagement and performance management. That’s why it’s more beneficial to use this survey information within an all-in-one performance management software like Teamflect. This way, you can seamlessly integrate feedback into your overall strategy.

With Teamflect, you can easily send out all types of surveys your organization needs.

Customize surveys to fit your specific needs that capture the most important data for your organization.
