In order to make a good consideration for an employee survey, the costs of an MTO naturally play a role. A well-conducted employee satisfaction survey (MTO) not only provides insight into employee satisfaction, but sometimes requires considerable investment. In this blog, we’ll discuss the costs of employee satisfaction surveys and explain what to look out for to make your investment worthwhile. In this way, you work towards increased satisfaction in a cost-effective way.

The costs of an employee satisfaction survey can vary greatly depending on various factors such as the size of your organization, the complexity of the questionnaire, and the desired analysis methods. Generally, the costs of an MTO can be divided into three categories: basic, comprehensive, and customized.
This type of research usually only includes a survey solution and a basic report. The MTO costs are usually between €500 and €2,000, depending on the size of the organization. But there are also free solutions.
The disadvantage of these studies is that questionnaires often have to be developed by yourself. Questions are therefore often ineffective as they do not achieve data quality.
This type of research offers more in-depth analyses and a certain degree of customization in the questionnaire. Customization often means that the costs for an MTO go up. This includes segmentation of results by department or location, and advanced reports.
The costs of employee satisfaction surveys range from €2,500 to €130,000 depending on the size of the organization. An indication of the costs for a one-off survey per organization size can be found here:
