The Key Drivers & Goals Choosing Engagement Over Satisfaction

Survey Goals

• Global Participation – Survey championed by CEO

– All Calfrac employees could participate

– Exceed 2010 Satisfaction Survey participation rate (~50%)

• Data Quality and Reliability – Results must be reliable and actionable

– Data had to be benchmarked (historically, internally and vs. industry norm)

• Survey Results – To managers: Develop a hierarchy that will

allow the survey results to be reported by country; region; district; manager; supervisor

– To employees: Provide timely, meaningful feedback to all employees

Why an engagement survey?

• Company in transition – Global company headquartered in

Canada

• Exponential growth – Revenue, asset base, number of

employees and locations

• Culture change – Global consistency, local flexibility

• Change in Leadership – CEO, other executives and senior

managers

• Turnover and Attrition – Understand how turnover and attrition

might be limiting growth
