Progress Lakeshore Workforce Surveys
Progress Lakeshore’s efforts to retain existing businesses in Manitowoc County include conducting annual surveys of local employers’ benefits. These surveys serve a dual purpose: they provide valuable insights into workforce trends, helping us pinpoint areas for improvement while informing participants with crucial data to facilitate strategic decisions in their recruitment efforts.
About Our Surveys
Turnover & Benefits
Our turnover & benefits survey is conducted in the spring and covers a wide range of topics, including health insurance coverage, retirement plans, paid time-off policies, flexible work arrangements, wellness programs, employee assistance programs, professional development opportunities, and more.
Wage and Employment
Our wage survey is conducted in the summer and covers wages across various specific positions and shits in different industries and business sizes, and salary increase percentages. Additionally we evaluate decision-making processes behind wage determinations.
Why Your Company Should Participate
By participating in our workforce surveys, you’re contributing to a comprehensive understanding of current trends and practices, ultimately enabling us to identify areas for improvement and adjustment to better support our workforce. These survey results not only aid companies in comparing their employment and benefits practices with those of their peers in the area but also assist them in making informed decisions when considering adjustments to their human resources initiatives.
Who Should Complete the Survey
Each company participating should only complete the survey once, and it should be completed by the person most familiar with the company’s human resource practices.
