Employee Experience Survey 

The purpose of the Employee Experience Survey is to help individual organisations understand and improve how their employees’ experience work, whilst simultaneously creating aggregate data for the Community as a whole. This allows organisations to analyse their performance against a sector-wide benchmark, and will help us to identify trends across communal organisations.

Register as an organisation

    • You are a registered charity in the Jewish Community in the UK

    • You have been registered for at least 12 months

    • You have at least 4 employees (this is a critical number in order to provide confidentiality and analysis of data in your organisation)

    • Registration requires a nominated individual from each organisation to apply and then provide data on the staff participating at a later date.

  • What is Leading Edge?

    Leading Edge delivers employee experience surveys, among other tools and programs, to the USA Jewish nonprofit sector, helping Jewish nonprofits improve their workplace culture and leadership so that they can better achieve their missions. They know that when organisations enable their employees to provide feedback at work, they can recruit and retain great people, and build a healthy and sustainable workplace culture. Following a successful pilot in 2023, they have generously agree to support us in replicating this for the UK Jewish charitable sector.

  • Get involved

    We are encouraging organisations to sign up in order to gain the most benefit from the survey and analysis. Organisations who participated last year will be able to compare their data year on year. The survey is open to charities working within the Jewish Community in the UK.

Why are we doing it?

As part of the JLC’s strategic work to strengthen communal capacity and capability, we are committed to understanding in more depth the barriers and motivations of working professionally in the community, what makes Jewish Charities great places to work and how we can further support community organisations to succeed.

It’s confidential

Leading Edge and the JLC are committed to keeping all responses 100% confidential. The results will only be shared with those who are specifically designated by your organisation to have access. We will publish overall reports but these are based on fully anonymised aggregate data and no data specific to any individual organisation will ever be publicly released without explicit consent.

Cost

Thanks to the generous support of Leading Edge, this year there is no cost for JLC members to participate in the survey. Non-members will pay a small admin fee based on their organisational size. This is the second year the survey has been offered in the UK and this ground-breaking partnership signals a real moment of focus to highlight the value that professional staff play in our excellent community organisations, and build on exciting data gathered to better understand our community in the workplace.

JLC non-member costs:

  • 1-100 employees: £150

  • 101-500 employees: £300

  • 501+ employees: £600

You’re in good company

  • Registered charities working within the Jewish community, based in the UK.

  • Ideally we would like organisations to sign up and take advantage of the opportunity to hear from staff about their experiences. We are also offering the opportunity for individuals to sign up and have their voices heard. If we receive over 6 responses from any organisation - either via a coordinated group from the organisation, or via individuals who have participated independently, we will then be able to share the results with the organisation to view their data/dashboard.

  • The survey includes mostly rating scale questions, on a five-point system ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Participants can share verbatim comments for any question. Other questions include optional demographic questions and open-ended questions. The survey covers topics like employee engagement, leadership, collaboration, and communication.
