The Process
First things first
What do you want out of an employee survey? First and foremost, the aim of the unlimited/JRA Best
Places to Work Survey is to give organisational decision-makers the information they need to make
positive change. Different organisations have different requirements from a survey - do you want
detailed and stratified reporting abilities by demographics? Do you want to be able to benchmark
your performance against a current and substantial database of New Zealand organisations? Would
you like to add your own organisation-specific questions? The Best Places to Work Survey
comes with a range of reporting options that can enhance your ability to analyse your data and
make informed decisions. Click here to see our range of reporting options.

Registration
Once you've decided what reporting options are suitable for your organisation, you need to register.
Registration is easy - just click here for the 3-step registration process.
Setup
Once we have received your registration, we can proceed with setting up your survey. Soon after we first
hear from you, we will call to introduce ourselves and confirm any details as necessary. This can include
finalising a demographic structure, writing extra questions, or detailing our post survey support or analyses..
Administration - How to undertake the survey
Once your survey has been set up, you will be sent a web link to your survey, which you will distribute
to your staff via email. For organisations that require it, we also offer a hardcopy option.
We recommend organisations send out a preliminary email to staff about a week before the survey 'goes live.'
This email should introduce the survey, describe why it is being conducted, and what you intend to do with the results.
The second email to be sent to staff should include the link to the survey, with some encouraging words about
participation. Make sure your survey has a close date (normally 2 weeks after the open date), and let us know
it so we can keep an eye on your response rate too.
A few days before the survey closes, send a reminder out to all staff to encourage as many people as possible
to participate.
Viewing your survey results
Online in real time! Why wait for a hardcopy report for weeks after survey completion, when the unlimited/JRA Best
Places to Work Survey allows you to view your results during the completion period? Online viewing rights will be
established for your nominated contact person as soon as your survey gets underway, so response rates can be
tracked to encourage maximum completion.
Benchmarking data and sector benchmarks will be available soon after the official close of the Best
Places to Work Survey.
HR Policies & Practices Review
In addition to the Best Places to Work Survey, the Human Resource Manager (or representative) will be
asked to complete an HR Policies & Practices Review. The Review is designed to further investigate human
resource policies and practices, and is a valuable part of the overall process.
Selection of our finalists
Organisations must meet the eligibility requirements to become a finalist in the survey.
After having been informed of their success, the CEOs of the finalist organisations will be interviewed by JRA to establish a more in-depth understanding of the policies and practices of those organisations.
