3 Reasons Why Your Organization Needs an Effective Feedback Management System

Now that we have firmly established the characteristics that make for an effective survey,  some of you might be thinking that while having an enterprise survey software system would be nice, it’s not absolutely necessary.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact remains that it is absolutely imperative that your organization have a real time feedback gathering & information analysis system. Now some of the reasons are inherently obvious. Clearly  you want to have a system in place that allows you to garner information that you would not otherwise get, but what factors make it so crucial to your business to have such a system in place?  Here are 3 that we believe make having a feedback system essential for your organization.

1. The need to automate key organizational functions: 

   Most functions within an organization rely on automated or computerized systems. So for the sake of ensuring that every functional unit works together, its imperative to have a feedback system that is also automated. With the proper system in place, surveys, appraisals  and evaluations can all be generated without placing additional strain on IT resources.

2. Your organization needs better metrics all around:

   Whether you are trying to track how an employee has progressed within the last 6 months, trying to find out how satisfied your customers or trying to find out why a once loyal customer’s purchases have tailed off recently,  the consequences of not knowing such key or crucial information can be disastrous.  Whether you’re dealing with knowing your own internal performance indicators or ensuring that you solve a customer issue before it gets out of hand, the fact remains that taking inventory of all key metrics and then keeping regular tabs on them is crucial to you.

3. The need to streamline paper related processes: 

   Beyond the obvious advantage of saving resources, bringing your feedback processes online enables you to bring your reporting statistics under one umbrella and ensures that you are better & more easily able to keep track of the progress of different performance metrics over time.
