It should ask a few simple questions, such as have you considered quitting in the last month, six months, or year and are you planning to quit within the next month, six months, or year? I think the number of people who have considered it and/or are now already planning to do it would be a wake-up call for this management.

If this OP actually works at XRX, he/she has to be the most out of touch employee in the company.
As a previous long tim Xeroid i have to say that employees opinion was canvassed year ago and not much evidence of change.
Vasaline and co do not give a rats A* about any of you, lying corporate S*
This was definitely a performance goal objective from the leadership team. They had the company spend thousands of dollars to run this survey where not all employees would respond to. Leadership got their answers and yes they would read the replies and yes the managers who were less than favorably spoken of would get their team in a room for hours and try to figure out who said what so they can target that person to the nearest door next time layoffs came. I saw excellent leaders leave X based on them speaking up against things that were against employees or real company culture. This company was voted as the most ethical company a bunch of years (don't know how) and it's head of HR is the least liked person. Bottom line, they don't care. You have to grin and fake it to make it at X no matter the cost to your work life happiness and balance.
had one 18 months ago, heard nothing since, there was a question 'would you leave' and I think a lot said yes.
Survey:
Question #1- What do you feel the problem is with the "New Xerox blueprint for success"?
Question #2- What would you do if you were in charge of the company?
This should be interesting.................
They did used to have employee satisfaction surveys. At some point, they made it so that you couldn't comment on anyone other than your immediate manager. And if you said anything even slightly negative, your manager would basically lock the entire team in a room for a 3 hour meeting with them until everyone "agreed" that they really meant to say only positive things and then no one ever dared to say anything negative again. It was hardly ever the direct manager that was ever the issue. They just learned to only use questions that no one could respond negatively towards. It was a joke. It never made anything change. I assume nasty Glassdoor reviews are to thank for the change to the benefits plan in 2020 for at least those making less than a certain amount. But if Xerox continues to outsource/nearshore our jobs, continues to not offer a 401k match, continues the paltry severance packages, they won't be able to attract and retain anyone that brings real value. It's never a good idea to cut the packages of people they pay just barely above minimum wage. And someone should really look into the way they use "contract" workers in America.
Customer questionnaire would be better.... on a scale of 1-10 how important is it that no one is left to take your call at your GIS Core? On a scale of 1-10 how important is toner for your device? If no technician is available to fix your device is that ok or do you expect us to fix it anyway?
That's my stapler
Yes and Yes
You should just quit and stop pretending like you matter as a Xerox employee. Quit wasting your time and move on.
We used to get surveys every 2 years.
Nothing ever came from it anyway.
Why would they? Xerox has showed how little they care about their employees.
@ykg Probably someone in the Production group.
To OP: Hey buddy, why don't you take your stinking rotten Java GUI and shove it!
Such as... “Which Canon model do you most often recommend to your customers?”
This is the strangest thing ever. Mind bending to think of who would post something like this.
This is laughable. As if Xerox “leaders” give a sh-t. How much more clear can they make it that they do not ??
Are you kidding me? They WANT you to quit. They won't have to pay severance, and they avoid the negative publicity associated with layoffs. If they did your survey, and the results were somehow positive, they would look for something else to take from us.
They don't care. They really don't.
