Quickly and efficiently measure satisfaction with the ESS scan

ESS for employee satisfaction survey. An ESS scan is the right survey if you are looking for quick statistical evidence of employee satisfaction. Are you curious about the satisfaction, loyalty, and commitment of your employees? Which areas receive good ratings and which areas could be improved?

Retaining and engaging employees is of increasing importance. Research shows that satisfied employees positively impact customer satisfaction and loyalty, which in turn leads to improved business results. At Markteffect, we understand this and are eager to provide you with the right insights. The ESS quick scan provides clear figures on your employees' satisfaction if you wish to conduct a concise yet impactful study. The difference between the ESS quick scan and a comprehensive employee satisfaction survey is that the quick scan is based on a standard questionnaire of approximately 12-15 questions. This is based on our years of experience and scientific research. The comprehensive research involves a customized study, allowing ample room for your specific input and topics.

“I experience the collaboration with Markteffect as very positive. They actively contribute ideas and seek creative solutions that align with our research and information needs. The ESS report not only helped us identify areas for improvement within our organization but also, importantly, confirmed that many aspects are already highly valued by our employees. Our challenge, therefore, lies primarily in maintaining what is already working well!”
Marloes Meijer, Managing Director Voigt Travel

How is an ESS scan performed?

The ESS scan is a short but powerful survey that provides insight into all important matters concerning your staff. The ESS scan is the result of numerous scientific and customized surveys and therefore covers all important and necessary topics. Because the survey is standardized, you can easily assess whether your employees are still in the right place, at a low cost.

The most common research method is online research. This allows the research results to be displayed directly in an online dashboard. We will consult with you to determine which aspects you would like to have surveyed. This depends on your objectives for the research.

Some common topics in an ESS scan:

Satisfaction

How satisfied are your employees with you as an employer?

Commitment

How engaged are the employees in your organization?

Loyalty

How loyal are your employees to you as an employer?

Benchmark

How do you score as an employer compared to other employers in the national benchmark?

How does Markteffect make this ESS quick scan unique?

We believe in the power of standardization in this type of research, because it allows it to be carried out quickly and efficiently. However, 100% standardization is not desirable either, as there are always nuances or current events that our clients would like to include. That is why, within the standardized setup of this research, we still offer the option of three customized questions.

Furthermore, Markteffect provides access to an extensive benchmark, containing data from a comprehensive Dutch study on employee satisfaction. This allows you to benchmark your scores against comparable organizations and contextualize your figures.

Markteffect also offers opportunities for you to provide the ESS quick scan as a reseller, thereby expanding your service portfolio for your clients. For instance, if you operate as a consultant in employee policy or corporate organizational matters for your clients, and employee research could contribute to this? Then inquire about the collaboration possibilities available to you as a reseller.

What are the benefits of an ESS scan?

Retaining skilled personnel and fostering positive word-of-mouth from employees are also crucial during periods of labor market scarcity. At Markteffect, we prioritize ensuring that you can make decisions based on the best and most relevant insights to optimize employee satisfaction.

The results of this survey enable you to refine your HR policy and ensure that your employees are more engaged, satisfied, and loyal to your organization.
