Text Box: TIP OF THE DAY Text Box: Surveys are a great tool for collecting information that can be used to improve your organization on many levels. Polling Internally Gaining information from employees and other internal stakeholders is key to developing and maintaining good relationships. In some situations having a third party, anonymous source will achieve more open results. Internal surveys can be used to: · Gauge employee satisfaction · Collect ideas for improving efficiency and/or capitalizing on revenue generating opportunities · Promote a team environment that is participative   Polling Externally The customer is always right! Do you know what your clients think of your products and/or services? If not, asking them for their opinion shows that you care about what they think. It also provides you with key information on how you can better market what they like or change what they don’t. Consider a survey to uncover: · What’s most important to your clients · How you can improve to better meet their needs · What forms of communication are best to reach them · Why they chose to work with you in the first place   There are plenty of survey tools available online and through software packages. The right tool depends on what information you need to collect, what systems, processes and software you currently have in place and how secure the feedback needs to be.  We use a tool that is robust in collaboration features and provides much more than just survey results. To see how it works consider taking our survey. We’d like to know how we can improved the FUZE. Click here to take the survey now.

Text Box: Humour Break

Text Box: Too Much Talk A CEO was scheduled to speak at an important convention, so he asked one of his employees to write him a punchy, 20 minute speech. When the CEO returned from the big event, he was furious.       "What's the idea of writing me an hour-long speech?" he demanded to know. "Half the audience walked out before I finished."       The employee was baffled. "I wrote you a 20-minute speech," he replied. "I also gave you the two extra copies you asked for".
