Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find the answer you are looking for?
Speak to one of our consultants. We’ll answer your questions, demonstrate our reporting dashboard and explain how our fully managed employee engagement survey service works.
Check out our “Insights” articles for expert advice, practical guides and answers to common questions about employee engagement surveys.
One of our consultants will take time to understand your organisation, objectives, previous surveys, workforce demographics, languages and internal communications. We’ll then design a tailored draft employee engagement survey—typically within 48 hours—for you to review before launch.
Yes. We regularly deliver employee engagement surveys in multiple languages, including languages not supported by Google Translate. We use accredited translators and work with your local teams to ensure every survey is accurate, culturally appropriate and easy for employees to understand.
We also adapt wording to reflect local culture and employment terminology, helping ensure questions are interpreted consistently across different countries.
Yes. We regularly survey employees who do not have a work email address using secure alternatives such as QR codes, shared devices, kiosks and SMS where appropriate. We rarely recommend paper surveys because they are slower to administer, more expensive to process and often result in lower-quality data.
Yes. Protecting employee survey data is a priority for Protostar. We hold the UK government-backed Cyber Essentials certification, all employees complete Level 2 cyber security training, and our employee engagement surveys are delivered in compliance with GDPR.
Survey data is encrypted in transit and at rest, access is restricted to authorised users, and individual responses remain confidential through aggregated reporting that protects employee anonymity. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available for clients who require one.
Yes. During the survey design process, we’ll agree how survey findings will be communicated to employees, managers and senior leaders. We create tailored communication materials, infographics, presentations and other resources tailored to your organisation, saving you from adapting generic reports or creating materials from scratch. Where required, our consultants can also present the findings on your behalf.
Yes. Our employee engagement surveys are underpinned by the MOVIE® psychological model, a proven framework that measures the factors with the greatest influence on employee engagement. This enables our consultants to design tailored surveys and focus groups that deliver meaningful insights and support practical organisational improvement.
Learn more about the MOVIE® psychological model,
While the MOVIE® psychological model underpins every employee engagement survey we deliver, each survey is tailored to your organisation. We work with you to understand your objectives, values, previous surveys and the insights you want to gain.
Your survey is then customised to reflect your branding, communication style and internal terminology, so it feels familiar to your employees. For example, if you refer to employees as “colleagues” or your leadership team as “The Exec”, we’ll use that language throughout the survey.
We keep our overheads low and focus our investment on delivering expert consultancy rather than maintaining a large sales infrastructure. We also don’t charge ongoing dashboard licence fees, allowing us to provide a fully managed employee engagement survey service at a highly competitive price without compromising on quality or support.
Yes. We offer a no-obligation demonstration where we’ll show you a sample employee engagement survey, reporting dashboard, reports and communication materials. You’ll also have the opportunity to discuss your requirements, ask questions and see how our consultants would tailor the survey to your organisation.
We use a proven combination of tailored communications, management engagement, carefully timed reminders and easy-to-access surveys to maximise participation. Depending on your workforce, we also use QR codes, kiosks, shared devices, and multilingual surveys to make it as easy as possible for every employee to participate.
Most employee engagement surveys can be designed and ready for your review within 48 hours. However, we normally recommend allowing at least two weeks before launch, so you have time to communicate the survey effectively, build awareness and maximise participation. This helps employees understand why the survey is being carried out, how their feedback will be used and why taking part matters.
Once your employee survey closes, we’ll analyse the results and provide clear dashboards, management reports and employee communications—typically within seven working days, depending on the size and complexity of your survey. We can also facilitate management workshops, support action planning and help you communicate the findings, ensuring employee feedback leads to meaningful organisational improvement.
Our employee engagement surveys are suitable for organisations of all sizes, from around 20 to more than 20,000 employees. We work with private, public and not-for-profit organisations across the UK and internationally, delivering surveys in multiple languages and tailoring every survey to each organisation’s needs.
Yes. Our employee engagement surveys are confidential and designed to protect employee anonymity through reporting thresholds and secure data handling. We work with you to ensure employees feel confident providing honest feedback, while giving managers meaningful insight.
Employee engagement survey costs vary depending on factors such as the number of employees, survey design, languages, communications, reporting requirements and the level of consultancy support you need. As a guide, prices typically start from around £3,000 for a short survey for a microbusiness or small charity, £7,000–£10,000 for a fully managed survey in a mid-sized organisation, and from around £9,000 for larger or international organisations.
Prices vary, less by the number of employees, as 100 or 10000 responses require the same effort in survey design; however, the data, free text comments analysis and reporting will vary considerably.
Rather than seeing an employee engagement survey as a cost, it’s better viewed as an investment in improving engagement, leadership, retention and organisational performance. We’d be happy to discuss your requirements and provide a tailored, no-obligation quotation. Pricing of employee surveys is covered in more detail in our Insights article.
A fully managed employee engagement survey gives you expert support throughout the process, rather than simply providing survey software. Experienced consultants help design the survey, manage delivery, analyse the results and turn employee feedback into practical action, while reducing the workload on your HR team.
