English to German: Better employee surveys General field: Marketing Detailed field: Surveying
Source text - English Annual employee surveys tend to be lengthy beasts, often exceeding 50—and sometimes over 100—questions. The biggest issue? Long surveys induce a phenomenon in survey takers known as “survey fatigue.” Survey fatigue occurs when people become bored, tired, or restless while responding to your survey. The damaging outcome is fudged answers and inaccurate data.
As a general rule, shorter surveys collect stronger responses.
Translation - German Jährliche Mitarbeiterbefragungen sind in der Regel lang: Sie umfassen oft mehr als 50 – und manchmal sogar mehr als 100 – Fragen. Das größte Problem dabei? Lange Umfragen lösen bei den Teilnehmenden etwas aus, das als „Umfragemüdigkeit“ bezeichnet wird. Von Umfragemüdigkeit sprechen wir, wenn sich die Befragten bei der Beantwortung Ihrer Erhebung langweilen bzw. müde oder unruhig werden. Dies führt zu verfälschten Antworten und damit zu ungenauen Daten.
In der Regel können durch kürzere Befragungen letztendlich mehr Beantwortungen erfasst werden.
English to German: Typical workday (blog post) General field: Marketing Detailed field: Business/Commerce (general)
Source text - English I love the opportunity to mix home and office for my working environment.
Sometimes when you need to have “focus time” and don’t have a lot of meetings during the day – staying at home with your home office setup is my preferred option.
I am an early bird type, and if I don’t have any workouts planned before the start of the working day, I’ll be one of the first people in the office.
Starting the day with a healthy breakfast and a delicious cup of coffee are two routines I usually follow at work.
On a typical day, I’ll meet with stakeholders on multiple topics. Constantly switching between different teams’ requests is standard in my job. I would mainly improve processes and tools, overcome bottlenecks and foresee possible risks. I also consider customers’ interests (both external and internal) and help take care of team members.
Translation - German Ich finde es gut, Homeoffice-Tage und Büroarbeitstage mixen zu können.
Wenn ich mich stark konzentrieren muss und nicht viele Meetings habe, arbeite ich am liebsten im Homeoffice.
Ich bin Frühaufsteher und wenn ich vor der Arbeit kein Workout geplant habe, bin ich einer der ersten im Büro.
Ich starte gerne mit einem gesunden Frühstück und einer leckeren Tasse Kaffee in den Arbeitstag.
An einem typischen Tag bespreche ich mich mit verschiedenen Personen zu verschiedenen Themen. Das ständige Wechseln zwischen den Anliegen unterschiedlicher Teams ist für mich ein normaler Teil meines Jobs. Meine Hauptaufgaben sind das Verbessern von Prozessen und Tools, das Beheben von Engpässen und das Vorhersehen potenzieller Risiken. Ich kümmere mich außerdem um Kundenbelange (sowohl extern als auch intern) und bin für andere Teammitglieder da.
