Use and set up a Viva Glint Employee Ad Hoc survey

Use a Viva Glint Ad Hoc survey to measure something out of the ordinary, like a significant announcement, or a new program. Change-management, uncertainty, and other unexpected factors bring a feeling of unsettlement and the unknown. An Ad Hoc survey is useful when societal or global events introduce instability and disruption to the natural patterns in our work and personal lives. COVID-19 is an example of this type of event. It introduced a personal impact on our core human needs for safety and security. Without leaders addressing fundamental concerns, organizations can't run business as usual.

People need reassurance that their leaders are prioritizing their safety and wellbeing. During uncertain times, employees have a heightened urgency to receive timely and fact-based communications about what's happening, why, and its impact on them. They need the opportunity to express fears and concerns and feel a sense of control over their circumstances. During these times, use a Viva Glint Ad Hoc survey.

Cadence for Ad Hoc surveys

Ad Hoc surveys are unplanned. They aren't part of your original Viva Glint survey program design. Deliver an unscheduled -Ad Hoc- survey at a pivotal time when employees need support mechanisms in place and their feedback is essential.

What people need at work to remain happy and successful

People need these assurances at work:

  • To feel valued and confident about the future of their organization, and their place in it.

  • To feel trust in their leaders.
