Trend surveys are reoccuring versions of a General Survey. They can be useful to see how working conditions change over time.
Steps
- Consider how often you will send the survey, depending on your research objectives
- Don't make any substantial changes to the question you want to track, as it will affect the responses.
- Compare the outcomes from the surveys over time.
Shorter surveys, particularly with closed-ended questions can be sent more often, while longer surveys should be shared infrequently so as not to fatigue research participants.
