Focus Group Interviews

Each execution of your Organizational Survey should be preceded by a small number of focus groups with staff. The purpose of these focus groups is to contribute to the development of the survey. In the interest of representation, one or more of these focus groups should consist of management employees, non-exempt employees, exempt or professional employees, and possibly union employees, and non-regular employees. Selecting people for these focus groups will involve a combination of statistical sampling, and specific nominations by the Organizational Survey project manager or Steering Committee.
