TO:Employees

CC:His or Her Boss
SUBJECT:OPINION SURVEY




The following is a survey I'd like you each to complete. This feedback is very important to the success of our business and achieving our goal of being the best in our industry. I need you to be as honest as possible. If I don't know what issues are on your mind, we can't fix them.

For those of you who haven't been with the company very long, give your opinions where you feel you can, or select neutral, if you have no opinion.

This survey is totally anonymous and confidential. However, I would like an indication of your department so that we can receive some feedback particular to your group.

Once the results are compiled, I'll share them at the following company meeting. I need these done by date . For this to work well, I need to get back everyone's completed survey. After I compile the results, I'll share my findings with all of you. Thanks for your feedback.
