Polls:
- Are generally used to quickly gauge opinions or preferences on a specific topic
- Are made up of only one question
- Typically have only a few response options
- Can be useful for getting a quick snapshot of how a group of people feel about a particular topic
- Can be conducted in real-time or over a short period of time, such as during a meeting or as part of a post.
Best Practice: To boost engagement, share a “Poll of the Week/Month” at the start of each work week/month. Posting early in the week will give you a chance to collect the results and follow up with a summary.
You can ask a question around the business/product/service or something social, fun and timely. Here are some ideas:
- Are you excited for this year’s New Product Expo?
- Do you love McDonald's Shamrock Shakes?
- Who do you think is going to win March Madness?
Surveys:
- Are more comprehensive and are designed to gather detailed information and feedback from a group of people
- Are typically more than just one question
- Can include a wider range of questions and response options
- Can be used to gather feedback on a variety of topics such as customer satisfaction, employee engagement or even market research
- Are often conducted over a period of days/weeks/months
- Have more in-depth results that can be analyzed to gain insights into the opinions and behaviors of the participants
Survey Ideas:
- Ask for feedback on employee benefits
- Get input on ways to improve monthly company meetings
- Get a pulse check on employee satisfaction
Just like with polls, surveys results can be assembled into a post and shared with additional thoughts and recognition for the participants.
MangoApps offers both Polls and Surveys within the platform, and customers use them in a variety of ways to build and sustain engagement with their employees.
