Hi Valerie. Nice work with your Intranet survey and its results. Nice to see that the majority of respondents seem to appreciate the work you have done. Was just interested to find out how many responses you received fro the survey as compared to the total number of Intranet users. Also, you mention in your post that one of the questions was "What would you like to see on the Intranet?". Did you give your participants some options to choose from or was it a free text field response for this question? Peter

We receive an average of 1,000 visitors to our intranet a day (we have about 9,000 employees). Results are from two surveys: one had 100+ responses and another had 3,000+ responses. For "what would you like to see on the intranet," it was a list of things, and you could select multiple responses.

Thanks Valerie. That is a huge jump in participation. Did you offer incentives for those who participated to get over 1/3 of users to complete your survey? Apologies that I am full of questions. I like hearing about Intranet surveys. They can be a valuable tool if created and executed thoughfully but if not they can raise user expectations to a level that can not be achieved by under resources Intranet teams. I have first hand experience in the latter :)

No worries about the number of questions. I considered putting in more info about the surveys, and now I might just do that :) In reality, they were two different surveys conducted by two different groups. The one with 100 responses was conducted by me and was put on our intranet. The one with thousands of responses was done via email by corporate. I requested the results, and then I analyzed them a bit. Those results included the "what do you want on your intranet" question, and that is how I compared usage of my intranet compared to corporate's and the rest of the healthcare system. No incentives for the 100 response survey. The one by corporate had some prizes, I believe.

Valerie - Are your direct mail efforts handled internally or do you use a vendor? JS (P.S. I'm not a direct mail vendor - I have a client who may interested in hiring one.)
