CVR has the only survey with a proven Union Vulnerability
Index.
CVR uses only 20 survey items, and employees and their supervisors
like that.
CVR has 35 years of normative data and consulting experience
with direct employee involvement and feedback
to management.
CVR will give you 10 working-days turnaround--7 times faster
than anyone else.
The CVR survey is designed for the thought process and value
system of the average employee--not top management--to
make it accessible to all.
CVR has conducted surveys for over 900 corporations and
more than 1 million employees.
The survey is compatible with the vast majority of the Value
systems of the workforce. This is featured in our
Making Unions Unnecessary seminar.
Also:
We can add custom statements to the core 20 survey items.
We can handle the survey administration for you.
We can also handle the feedback for you.
The Making Unions Unnecessary seminar can be brought on-site
and integrated with your survey results.

CVR's surveys are designed to capture data on employee attitudes
by work group and demographics. Each form is a simple, single-page
survey that is easy to administer and takes approximately
15 minutes to complete. To facilitate the survey process,
our standard survey form is divided into the following three
sections: survey group coding, demographics, and survey
statements.
Survey Group Coding
These codes are used to identify each separate work group
or survey group in the output reports. They are assigned
by the client and permit virtually unlimited flexibility
in the reporting of the data.
Demographics
This section contains standard demographics, such as education,
length of service, and type of pay, to name a few, which
can be compared for the entire organization. If utilized,
they allow for a comprehensive and detailed comparison of
attitudes in the output reports.
Statements
The core statements of our standard Employee Attitude Survey
assess the overall Human Resources climate of your company,
as well as union vulnerability and problems with retention
and communication. Its 20 statements are designed to effectively
capture pertinent data on the following:
work group cooperation
advancement opportunities
working conditions
performance feedback
confidence in management
rules and procedures
retirement plan
job security
job freedom
use of abilities
|
seeking outside job
pride in the organization
change in organization
insurance benefits
overall satisfaction with work
supervision
fairness of pay
favoritism
job future
job expectations
|
CVR's survey reports are designed to be self-contained and
self-explanatory, and they provide only pertinent data to
facilitate understanding and interpretation. The following
is a list of reports included with each survey.

Overall internal norm report
For companies that have done a previous survey with CVR, comparative
survey reports are available in which the current survey results
are compared to prior survey results.
When our core survey statements are utilized, three standard
indexes are included with the reports. These indexes offer
a quick overview of attitudes for each survey group.
The Attitude Index is the average percent favorable response
for all 20 statements. It serves as an overview
of attitudes for that workgroup or survey group.
Backed by 35 years of research, the Industrial Relations
Index is the average percent favorable response for
six statements that help to predict union vulnerability.
The Retention Index is the average percent favorable response
for statements that assist in determining your
company's vulnerability to frequent turnover.
CVR provides all the necessary information and guidance
to help facilitate the survey process at your company. The
