What are these surveys like? How will they be scored?
The survey for missionaries takes about 15-20 minutes to complete and is comprised of 80+ multiple-choice
questions and three open-ended questions regarding opinions about their
organization. The Organization Profile is a more comprehensive questionnaire
regarding the organization’s people practices that should take 30 minutes to an
hour to complete for the survey administrator.
Most survey questions are based on a 1-5 scale; scores for the
employee surveys will be tabulated by taking an average of all responses
received from the organization. The Organizational Profile will be evaluated on
a stand-alone basis.

Who will see the results of these surveys? Will results
be kept confidential?
All of the results will only be viewed by BCWI, GMI and management
of the organization taking the survey. We encourage management to share the
results with all employees. Individual privacy will be protected so that no
respondent can be identified. Any category with less than five respondents will
not be displayed.
Best Christian Workplaces Institute reserves the right to publish
positive scores and comments that reflect well on organizations. In addition,
composite results of all organizations to provide benchmarking data will be
provided to participating organizations.

Can we add customized questions or demographics to the
missionary survey?
Yes, we can add additional questions to the survey for any
individual participating organization. These questions will not have any
comparison data.
Our survey also includes a powerful reporting feature. Each
participant will be able to receive missionary survey results by organizational
unit/department and/or location. Of course, we will not provide information for
any breakdown with less than 5 employees participating. This ensures employee
confidentiality. This feature will allow each organization to pinpoint “best
practice” departments and locations, and identify others with opportunities for
improvement (additional fee).
