GAIS Survey Types and Survey Frequencies

In this article we will present the various Survey Types and Survey Frequencies available for GAIS' Surveys!

Survey Types

When you want to create a new survey wtih GAIS, you select "Create new survey" and then you will get the options below.

Note: For all survey types, you can add your own custom questions as well as extra questions from a catalog provided by GAIS.

Engagement Surveys

GAIS Survey: A classic GAIS survey consists of 38 questions. These questions are divided into 7 factors that are important for motivation at work, as well as a separate question battery for overall work motivation. In addition, participants must rank the importance of the seven factors.

Quick GAIS Survey: Quick GAIS consists of 9 questions. One question addresses overall work motivation and one question for each of the seven factors that GAIS measures. In addition, there is a ranking of the importance of the seven factors. It is a condensed and simplified version of the complete GAIS.

WRA Surveys (Workplace Risk Assessment)

It is possible to conduct a complete Workplace Risk Assesment survey (WRA) via the GAIS platform. An WRA is an evaluation of the work environment at your workplace. The APV survey consists of 24 mandatory questions and a number of optional questions. The questions are based on the recommendations of the Danish Working Environment Authority and cover conditions and insights into the physical and psychological work environment, as well as stress and sick leave.

Factor Surveys

After conducting a GAIS survey, it may make sense to delve deeper into a single factor. The setup is exactly the same as for a GAIS survey. The reports are also structured in the same way and contain the same elements.

• Leadership Factor Survey: This survey consists of 20 mandatory questions that focus exclusively on the topic of Leadership. It delves into 4 leadership dimensions.

Survey Frequencies

How often do you want to send out the survey? Choose from a number of different survey frequencies depending on your needs. The frequency determines how often participants should answer the survey and how many questions they need to answer each time.

Single survey: Choose a one-off survey if you only want to conduct a survey a single time.

Low-frequency survey: Choose a low-frequency survey if you want to repeat the survey either yearly, biannually, or quarterly.

High-frequency survey: Choose a high-frequency survey if you want to send out surveys often and in smaller portions. This is called a pulse survey, and you can choose to send out the survey monthly, biweekly, or weekly. The pulse survey starts with a complete GAIS initial survey, which is used as a benchmark for the subsequent pulse survey. When the pulse survey is initiated, the complete GAIS questionnaire is divided into smaller portions that are sent to participants at the frequency you choose. You cannot choose a Quick GAIS if you want to do a high-frequency survey.

1. Weekly survey: three/four questions per time
2. Bi-weekly survey: seven questions per time
3. Monthly survey: 14 questions per time
