Employee Experience Survey

Know What's Working. Build What's Next.

The Employee Experience Survey helps Jewish nonprofit leaders understand how their teams are experiencing work today, so they can invest with confidence in the culture of tomorrow.

Since 2016, more than 60,000 employees at 550+ organizations have taken the survey. It's free, it's confidential, and it's built for the field.

Why It Matters

Every organization that takes the Employee Experience Survey adds to something bigger than its own results. Jewish nonprofits are the heartbeat of Jewish life, and the more organizations invest in understanding and strengthening their people, the stronger the whole field becomes for the professionals, executives, and board members who power it.

The Jewish nonprofit workforce is changing quickly, and how organizations invest in talent, culture, and leadership today will define the field for a generation.

What the Data Shows

Confidence in leadership and a sense of belonging are the two most proven factors driving employee engagement, and the EES measures both. Organizations that take action after participating in the Employee Experience Survey see material improvement in their engagement over time.

Is This Right for Your Organization?

The Employee Experience Survey works well for organizations at many different starting points. Participating organizations tend to share a few things in common:

• A senior leadership team that wants to become an even better place to work
• An interest in identifying, measuring, and acting on organizational strengths and growth areas
• A history with Leading Edge surveys and a desire to keep tracking progress over time
• A CEO who's curious about their own experience, through the CEO Survey sent automatically once you register for the EES

If this sounds like your organization, here's how to get started.

How to Participate

Step 1: Check Your Eligibility and Readiness

Start by watching our “Discover the EES” video, then confirm your organization meets all five eligibility requirements:

• Has at least 6 employees, full-time and/or part-time (results are shared with 5+ completed responses)
• Is based in North America
• Is a Jewish organization, in whatever way your organization defines and affirms that
• Is a recognized nonprofit, or has a fiscal agent that is
• Has been in existence for at least 3 years

Step 2: Choose Your Survey Liaison

Your Survey Liaison is Leading Edge's single point of contact throughout the survey process, often someone in an HR-adjacent role. We can only work with one liaison per organization, so choose the person best positioned to steward your team through the journey.

Step 3: Register Your Organization

Read the Memorandum of Understanding, then submit your registration form along with your HRIS. You'll share your organization's details, your Survey Liaison's contact information, and who should have access to your results. CEOs automatically receive access, and you can add up to 5 more report viewers.
