BYOD Employee Survey
In any organization, some employees will already be familiar with BYOD and will welcome the program. For others, it will be a new concept that takes getting used to. It’s important to gather employee feedback to help validate your assumptions and shape your program. You can use these sample questions as a framework to develop your own corporate survey.
Survey Introduction
[Your company] is considering a bring-your-own-device program. Also known as BYOD, this type of program allows employees to use their own personal computing device for work. Companies who have adopted BYOD have found that it can increase both productivity and employee satisfaction. By filling out this survey, you can help us determine whether BYOD is right for our organization, and what type of program would make the most sense. Your feedback is very important to us—to show our appreciation, each employee who completes this survey will be entered to win an iPad. Thanks for your participation!
