Employee Alienation Surveys

Are your employees feeling distant from your organization or work group? Our proprietary Alienation Index® can help you determine which employees within your organization are most likely to engage with unions and for what reasons. Using the data we provide, you can identify specific areas for improvement to keep employees engaged with your company and improve their performance. The AI survey is comprised of only 13 questions and has over 30 years of demonstrated evidence supporting its ability to accurately predict union sympathy for employees in retail and manufacturing environments.

Offline, Online or Both

The AI survey can be conducted online using corporate PCs or kiosks, offline using traditional paper and pencil distribution, or a combination of both for various work groups. RTA can manage the entire survey process for your organization ensuring employee anonymity and data accuracy.

Powerful Reporting

Once your survey data is collected and processed, our reporting infrastructure can deliver powerful and focused reports showing the AI scores for your entire organization, specific departments and based on various demographic categories.

360° Surveys

Are you spending your employee development dollars wisely? Many studies show that employees are spending time and money receiving training on skills they already have or skills that have no relation to their jobs. Using 360° Surveys, you can identify individual strengths and weaknesses for each of your employees, giving you the information you need to individually target development programs.

Fully Customizable

We can help you craft a 360° Survey that measures the behaviors and attributes your organization values in its employees. Furthermore, our flexible survey platform allows complete customization for your assessment content, email communications and reports. Rather than force you into a specific mold to fit our systems, you can tell us exactly how you want your 360 to work.

Accessible Reporting

Tired of one-size-fits-all 360 reports that are difficult to interpret? Allow our reporting team to design a report that best communicates your development values to your employees. Want to include information about and pointers to specific development programs from your internal training programs? No problem. Want a report the shows all the possible statistics gathered from your assessment data? We've done that. Want a simple one-page report that consolidates data and cuts through the noise of ratings from hundreds of behaviors into a small set of targeted recommendations? We've done that too. Your 360° reports can be exactly that -- yours.
