Good morning all,
I am considering using the online Culture Survey Tool produced by a large government organisation (!).
Before I do, I wonder whether anyone who has used this in the recent past would be prepared to let me know the pro's and cons.
Thank you.
Mike

I am only aware of the HSE Safety Climate Tool, never used it but when it originally appeared a decade or so ago it was very expensive and unwieldy in my opinion. I believe the HSE were designing a new one, but again not seen or used it.
Why not design your own survey? It's not too difficult, that said there are a few traps the unwary can fall into and it does take some time and implementing a survey does take time from start to finish. That said, it is more satisfying and bespoke to your own organisation which is a big plus. I would be happy to give you a starter for 10.

We have used it and its OK. One issue is the open questions ie those which you define yourself (eg “Name 3 things that will improve H&S in your areas”). Some times with one group you get a pattern of what is not working but other times you just a mess of noise with no issue emerging as a clear problem. You will also need a thick skin as people will use it as an opportunity to take a pop at ‘elf n’ safety’ .

Mike, one danger of any survey is that it raises expectations that something positive will come out of it!
If the only reason behind it is to provide a baseline of information, but no actual commitment to change things for the better, then it could do more harm than good.
