Conference sessions will be available as documents, slide decks, videos, and even a handful of live-streamed events.

The latest volume of SIOP’s Professional Practice Book Series, Employee Surveys and Sensing, addresses the ever-evolving topic of employee surveys with a solid foundation in science.

Edited by William H. Macey, of CultureFactors, Inc., and Alexis Fink, of Facebook, the volume examines everything from traditional survey methods to new approaches in analyzing and presenting survey data.

The first volume about employee surveys in the Professional Practice series was published in 1996 and reflected state of the art methodology for the time. But survey approaches of the 1990s were constrained by distribution options—namely paper and pencil. When the second survey volume was published in 2006, electronic distribution methods had become standard but brought its own set of concerns regarding the use of technology.

Nearly 15 years later, the use of technology has expanded and a new interest in talent analytics along with it.
