“Employees are facing innumerable challenges, offering them a moment to give voice to their challenges and triumphs feels like the right thing to do”
No matter how closely you work with your staff, there are some things that aren’t openly discussed. Regularly conducting well designed employee surveys is an effective way to bring these aspects to light and hear directly from staff about their experience.
When conducted properly, employee surveys can collect the combined perceptions of staff in a way that transcends the anecdotal overheard chatter. Surveys also provide a benchmark against which a business can measure progress.

Testimonials
Whenever I work with Melanie on a project, I know not only will I get a highly qualified end product but the process of working with her on the project will be efficient, enlightening, and fun!
Each year [Columinate] facilitates our staff satisfaction survey, providing us with crucial insights into the experiences and needs of our workers. This data has been instrumental in shaping a workplace culture that we are truly proud of.
One of the most valuable aspects of these surveys is the culture of anonymity…Employees feel comfortable sharing honest feedback, allowing us to gain a true sense of workplace sentiment.
Community Food Co-op has been working with Carolee Colter…and her employee surveys have been an invaluable tool in our employee engagement and strategic planning. Her expertise and thoughtful analysis provide meaningful insights that help us understand both where we excel and where we have opportunities to improve.
I highly recommend Columinate’s employee surveys to any co-op looking to enhance employee engagement and make informed strategic decisions. The insights we’ve gained through this process have been essential to our continued growth and success.
As a new General Manager, I relied heavily on Melanie’s expertise. Her deep understanding of the cooperative grocery sector and her thoughtful guidance were critical as we faced significant challenges. Thanks to her support, our co-op emerged stronger and more resilient.
I wholeheartedly recommend working with Melanie and her colleagues at Columinate. Their expertise and insight are unmatched.
