About Us

Employeesurveys.com is a Business Research Lab web site specifically geared toward serving those who have an interest in (guess what!) employee surveys. The Business Research Lab was founded in January 1996 specifically to meet the needs of the Internet community. The Lab's Partners realized that the Internet would make it possible to offer services which could not cost-effectively be offered by traditional brick-and-mortar research firms, such as do-it-yourself and turnkey survey solutions for mid-sized and small businesses. Ironically, the demand for custom surveys by Fortune 1000 companies has exceeded our expectations.

Over the past few years, we have learned a lot about providing market research information and services to the Internet community. From an original six-page brochureware site in February 1996, the Lab's web sites evolved into an information-intensive site of more than seven hundred pages. Our product mix has grown to include online surveys and software. Our Internet philosophy, which we have incorporated into the Employeesurveys.com site, has evolved into the following:

Provide useful information to those considering conducting research,
Provide open access to the information,
Keep graphics to a minimum so that pages are quick to load.
Make the site easy to navigate,
Continually evaluate the type of information YOU are looking for on the site,
Develop innovative products to serve the Internet community,
Provide a range of product options so that almost any business can have access to professional research.
