RESEARCH IS THE CORNERSTONE OF STRATEGY




WHO WE ARE

OUR STORY

TWI Surveys Inc. is a research company based in Vancouver, Canada.
A subsidiary of Tekara Organizational Effectiveness, Inc.,
TWI has proudly served clients since 1999.

READ OUR STORY

What happens when you mix a chemistry teacher with a sense of adventure and an
insatiable appetite for research? You get the creation of an award-winning
research company, of course.

Founded in 1999, TWI Surveys Inc. was the culmination of 20 years field-testing
and developing research tools, survey processes, and communication best
practices.

The journey began when Tudor Williams left England to “see the world.” His
starting place: teaching high school in central Canada. Little did he know, the
world ended up being Canada.

Never one to turn down an adventure, Tudor left the teaching profession and
joined Syncrude in 1975. His task:  attract the top engineering minds to a
relatively unknown mining and oil production town — Fort McMurray. It’s one
thing to bring in top talent; it’s another to keep it. So, he was asked to
design a communication plan to retain these young, smart engineers.

With research in his nature, Tudor explored how the world’s best companies were
attracting and retaining their employees. What he discovered was these companies
were surveying their employees to see what their needs were. He conducted the
first employee engagement survey at Syncrude in 1978.

This was the beginnings of TWI Surveys. During his years at Syncrude, Tudor used
research in its many varieties — surveys, focus groups, interviews — as the
foundation for creating communication plans, employee engagement processes, and
talent management strategies.

With the advent of the Internet and email communication, Tudor seized the
opportunity to do research online — other companies had not yet made the move.
Teaming up with his son, Ryan, he set out to create a way to do surveys online.
In 1998, TWI was founded. One year later, the company became a pioneer in online
research and surveys.

Research doesn’t just inform decisions, the process of research and
surveys involves people in the decisions that we make. Surveys are tools that
allow us to connect people and start a dialogue — a group can see what they’re
saying as a collective, where they agree, and where they disagree. Essentially,
a survey is a big conversation.  Done well, research and surveys serve as
critical pieces in our communication process.

Over the last 15 years, TWI has established itself as one of the best full
service research and communications companies. It has worked with organizations
of all shapes and sizes, from Fortune 500 companies to local non-profits to
government bodies.

In 2011, TWI took hold of another opportunity by partnering with Tekara
Organizational Effectiveness. With over 30 years of experience in the
communications field, TWI recognized the behaviours of leaders and employees
either build influence and trust or they undermine it. By marrying
communications and organizational development, TWI is now capable of helping
clients truly become influencers.

Through a survey process we benchmark and track what degree they are willing to
use their effort and talents to make an impact.

EVALUATION SURVEYS

Courses, events, and publications need to delight their audiences.

Grow your readership, increase attendance and improve your delivery by asking
for and evaluating participant’s preferences, satisfaction and interest.

ASSESSMENTS

Individual, 180, 360 and team questionnaires enable us to gain personal insights
to better relate to one another.

behaviours and relationships effectively.

TOP FIVE BEST PRACTICES FOR STAKEHOLDER SURVEYS

 1. Employees, members and constituents want to have their voices heard
 2. Sharing feedback about what was learned from a survey is the minimum to
    achieve a better relationship with the audience
 3. Surveys need to be shorter and more focused when respondent are on mobile
    devices
 4. You don’t have to ask every person every question; you can ask a few
    different questions to many people
 5. Ask questions that have a clear research question; questions that are
    relevant to the respondent
