The Group Employee Pulse Survey is a valuable tool for URW to gauge the sentiment of its employees and identify areas for improvement. 80% of employees participated in the survey in 2023, providing feedback on various topics such as well-being support and improving ways of working. The survey results are analyzed to identify trends and areas of concern. If the survey results indicate a decline in employee well-being, URW can investigate the causes and implement corrective actions. These might include introducing new wellness programs, providing additional resources for mental health, or making changes to the work environment. The increase in positive sentiment toward well-being at URW by 5% from 2022 to 2023 indicates that the actions taken by URW in response to previous survey results have been effective. This continuous feedback loop allows URW to continually adapt and improve its approach to employee well-being. In this way, the Employee Pulse Survey serves as one of the key instruments for URW to adopt corrective actions and enhance its well-being approach for its employees. It ensures that the voices of employees are heard and that their feedback is actively considered for the improvement of the workplace.
