Conducting Employee Surveys

Chevron routinely conducts surveys to understand what makes employees choose to stay with the company and what keeps them engaged in their work. Some business units also conduct unit-specific surveys to assess the need for local programs.

For example, in 2006, our energy technology and information technology companies implemented programs that addressed performance and work-life balance issues, factors identified in surveys as among those most relevant for people to remain in their jobs. Our 2006 Pulse Survey was distributed to a random sample of 25 percent of employees worldwide and had a 67 percent response. In 2007, questions on these and related issues will be included in our Global Employee Survey.
