How to Use This Checklist
- **Run the survey at the site.** Record the date conducted, who prepared it, and the location, then have workers complete the survey questions. Give them the opportunity to answer the question on what type of information they would like to receive more of through company communications, using the options covering general return-to-work information, health and safety preventative measures, wages and benefits, and the state of the business.
- **Rate the leadership message.** For each site, capture responses to the question of whether the leadership team reinforces the importance of following the new safety protocols. Use the results to see where the message is landing and where it is not.
- **Close out the record.** Once responses are in, note the inspection's real start and end dates, capture the signature of the person responsible, and record the time it was finished so the survey can be attributed to a site and a leader.
- **Meet with HR and worker representatives.** Use the survey results as the agenda. Discuss what workers said about communication frequency, the information they need, and their confidence in leadership, and agree who will act on each point.
- **Thank staff and share the results transparently.** Tell workers what the survey found and what will change. Transparency is what turns a survey into trust in leadership.
- **Collaborate across levels to address issues.** Work between supervisors, managers, HR and worker representatives so that the responses lead to fixes rather than sitting in a report.
- **Repeat and compare.** Run the checklist at each site on a consistent schedule. Comparing results over time shows whether communication is improving and where support practices need to be standardised.

Why supervisor and manager support matters
Supervisors and managers are the channel through which workplace decisions reach the floor. When they communicate often and clearly, teams know what is changing, what is expected of them, and where to raise problems. This checklist helps you measure that channel and act on what it finds. It gathers staff feedback through survey questions, then sets out the steps that follow: meeting with HR and worker representatives, thanking staff, sharing results transparently, and collaborating across levels to address issues. Keeping the process consistent across sites helps standardise support practices.
What the checklist covers
The checklist combines a short administrative record with a set of survey questions. The administrative fields capture the location, who prepared the checklist, the date it was conducted, the inspection's real start and end dates, a signature, and the time the work finished, so each survey is attributable to a site and a leader. The survey questions then ask workers what they think about the way they are kept informed and led. The questions include: - Whether the site's leadership team reinforces the importance of following the new safety protocols. - What type of information workers would like to receive more of through company communications. That second question is explored through several options, so workers can be precise about what is missing: - General information about the return to work, such as schedules, lunch breaks, facility preparedness and available resources. - Health and safety preventative measures put in place at the facility, such as symptom screening, PPE and disinfection. - Information about wages and benefits. - General information about the state of the business.
Carrying out the survey
Run the checklist on site and record who prepared it, where it was conducted, and its real start and end dates. Give workers the survey questions and let them answer in their own words where the format allows. When you get to the question about what information they want more of, use the listed options so the responses are comparable across teams and across sites. The question on whether the leadership team reinforces the importance of following the new safety protocols is a direct test of whether the message is getting through. Answer it honestly for the site rather than for the organisation as a whole.
What to do with the results
Survey responses are only useful if they lead somewhere. After the survey closes, meet with HR and worker representatives and work through the feedback, paying attention to communication frequency, the information workers say they need, and their confidence in leadership. Thank the staff who took part, then share the results transparently so people can see that their answers were read. From there, collaborate across levels to address the issues raised. Recording the location and the dates for each run lets you compare sites and track whether support and communication are improving over time. Where one site handles something well, that practice can be shared with the others.
Who this checklist is for
This checklist is for supervisors, managers, HR teams and worker representatives who need a structured way to gather feedback on leadership communication and to standardise how support is delivered across sites. It suits organisations that are managing a return to work or rolling out new safety protocols, and that want to know whether those messages are being reinforced at site level.
