♦ BLR Offers Employers Free Employee Attitude Survey BLR’s complimentary National Employee Attitude Survey program provides participating companies with a Well-written questionnaire to send to their workforce, either by email or as a printed copy. Via a 0- to 10-point scale, employees answer questions about workplace communications, supervision, teamwork, and chances for advancement at their organizations. Replies are sent directly to BLR, which does all preparation of the results. Employers then receive a confidential report of how they did, both at their companies, and com-pared to similar organizations. To participate in the first wave of data reporting, employers should sign up by Friday, Feb. 22. However, employers may join at any time in 2008 and be reported in a later wave. Employers wishing to participate should register at http://blr.com. The questionnaire and other materials may also be inspected there. For questions, call BLR at 800.727.5257 x2301.
