Those are employee engagement surveys. Years ago when flying corporate I had the VP of HR on the airplane. While waiting in the FBO we got to talking about the survey and she shared that what they were REALLY interested in was how many people took the survey. If they took it, it meant they still cared. If they didn't they were just showing up for the 5th and the 20th. Kind of "quiet quitting" is the new buzzword to describe it.

Word got out in our department and participation dropped to a record low. All of the sudden as the deadline approached we were flooded with emails begging us to participate. Apparently management was getting worried about how our lack of participation reflected on them.

The group still didn't participate, and perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, some of the management was replaced a few months later along with "how can we make things better" town halls.

Just food for thought.
