But how do you get your new employee to participate in your new starter survey?

Creating a personalised invitation for the new employee asking them to participate in your new starter survey is as important as the survey itself. Without a well-written invitation, a new employee may decide not to participate in your survey. As much as possible, try to create an invitation that is friendly and warm. Your invitation should make your new employee feel welcome so they are more likely to read and respond to your request.

Below is an example of a simple new starter survey invitation:

Dear [New employee's name],

You have now been with [Organisation] for a number of months and we wanted to check in with you to see if everything is going okay. We are interested in your thoughts and suggestions about your experience with [Organisation] to date and to see what additional information or support we can provide you with. We are particularly interested in your feedback on your induction and whether this met your needs.
