I HATE SURVEYS™
Surveys Are Broken.
Your last Employee Survey said everything was fine – right before your best people quit, projects stalled, and that new change initiative collapsed.
WE FLIP THE SURVEY PROCESS ON ITS HEAD.
• 60 minutes. In-person experience.
• We find out what’s really going on
• You get an ROI plan and programs to actually fix things – fast
• No extra work for you!
Real data. Real solutions. Real fast.

It is our privilege to work with people at these organizations:
THE CHALLENGE:
Surveys look good on paper.
But hidden problems keep costing you time, money and talent.
- People click “Strongly Agree” even when they’re frustrated
- Managers avoid hard conversations because they don’t want conflict
- Change efforts stall while your competitors move ahead
It’s not your people – it’s the process.
Traditional surveys simply can’t capture the real conversations teams are afraid or unsure how to have.
I Hate Surveys™ changes that. We help you safely uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface and give you clear, practical ways to fix what’s slowing you down.
Why people hate surveys:
No one trusts they’re really anonymous. People hold back because they worry about being identified.
Fear of retaliation. If I’m honest, it could backfire.
Nothing changes anyway. Why bother if nobody acts on the feedback?
It feels pointless – no incentive to be real. Speaking up can feel risky, with no upside.
Too much time, too little impact. Surveys are long to take and slow to deliver results.
Survey fatigue. Too many surveys, not enough action.
Nobody Likes Surveys…
But Everybody Wants to Be Heard
“I hate answering surveys.”
“I hate compiling all the surveys.”
Why are we all wasting our time?
There’s a better way:
The “I Hate Surveys” Workshop
Real. Results. ROI.
REAL - As in IRL
We all get together for one hour (you know, in-person) and we set the stage for third-party safety. We don’t share individual answers. Never. We mean it. Our reputation depends on this.
Everyone completes a quick, focused digital diagnostic in a few minutes. No 60-question surveys. Just sharp insights into essentials and what’s really going on. Plus, we make the session fun. (No trust falls, promise.)
It’s like a pulse-survey on steroids, and with personality.
RESULTS - Private and Overall
Each person immediately gets a private, personalized report, E-Score™ and action steps. We share trends and overall scores, but all individual answers are private. There is a score for each category and overall score.
We review the group results in real-time and lead one or two interactive high-level exercises on topics uncovered in the session – and give a taste of follow-up programs. We make the time together worthwhile.
ROI - A Clear Plan of Action
We plug the overall scores into our ROI calculator to show where to focus your efforts going forward for the biggest return on investment.
We provide specific recommendations for action steps and have follow-up programs available too. During our Introductory Offer Special, the workshop fee can be credited towards a future workshop.
YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH:
-
Individual reports automatically sent to each person
-
A straightforward overview of key issues and group baseline
-
Specific recommendations, prioritized by ROI, and an action plan
-
Follow-up programs and confidence about what to do next
-
A more engaged and energized team
-
All with no extra work for you
Real data. Real solutions. Real fast.
Forget the blame game. We’re all in this together. Let’s find a better way to see what’s really going on and fix it. Fast.
It starts with an E-Score™
What’s an E-Score™?
The E-Score™ is a quick (3-minute) assessment to gather real-time data across five key dimensions – with no extra work for you.
We measure what really matters to success:
EFFECTIVE – Do people have the tools they need to deliver results?
EMPOWERED – Do they feel equipped and trusted to lead?
ENGAGED – Are they energized by their role and connected to the mission?
ENTREPRENEURIAL – Are they spotting problems and creating solutions?
ENJOYMENT– Are they enjoying the work or just surviving it?
Each employee receives a real-time personalized report and E-Score™.
The report and score are just the beginning. We have easy, follow-up steps to turn the learning into action.
Data-Driven
Do You Want to Know Exactly:
- How much gaps are costing you?
- The potential return on addressing them?
- What’s driving (or draining) engagement, communication, and efficiencies?
- How to take action for results?
Our ROI Calculator, real-time personalized reports, and aggregate data will pinpoint specific costs and savings, identify trends and gaps, and measure growth.
HOW MUCH ARE GAPS COSTING YOU?
Real-time, personalized report for each participant.
Companies get aggregate insights and trends. Individual responses stay completely anonymous.
