2. What’s Survey Monkey?  Online questionnaire & reporting tool  Costs $300 p.a. or pay monthly  Easy to use, clear reports, endless ways to analyse info, secure.  But do still need to design survey, write up properly & do something with results.

3. Advantages & disadvantages of questionnaires 1 Advantages  Rapid collection of large amounts of data from large amount of people  Statistical analysis of standard data [i.e. nice charts]  Opportunity to highlight the need for change through communication of the results  Relatively inexpensive Disadvantages  Time needed to develop good questions  Can’t ask follow-up questions  Response rate may be poor and be biased towards high performers  The nature of self-reporting means it can be inaccurate 1.

8. Staff survey questions (1/2)  Name, job, dept, site.  Studying?  Easy Internet access at work?  Obtaining info for clinical/work decisions?  Which online sources used?  Easy to keep up-to-date?  Subject lead/key information provider?

10. X Less good bits (my fault, not Survey Monkey)  Pilot – too big  Voucher as incentive?  E-user group – don’t bother  Final screen – choose your own, default is SM  Detailed analysis vs helicopter approach  Should have kept up subscription  Timing – vacancy freeze, need time to write up

11.  Good bits  16% response rate – 202 people..  Acted as publicity for services Led to some changes in way services provided:  Alerting service  Support to specific teams  Increased publicity  Collection development Praise received – very motivating.
