Hi
I would advise you to wait for one month, before initiating any survey.
During this time, you should focus on being visible as an HR person - at their workstations, NOT in your workstation. Walking around helps - it shows that you have an interest in what they are doing. This worked and still works for me, in all the organizations I have worked.
Secondly, on a strictly INFORMAL basis - you should try to evaluate the mood of the employees yourself. See if they would be as open and honest on their questionnaire replies, as they are when they speak with you.
In your questionnaire, PLEASE ensure confidentiality, else all the work you have put in will be lost totally. This means do not reveal the source of information other than department to anyone including your immediate superior or even the CEO.
Finally, after analysing the questionnaire data, you should ensure that at least some of the recommendations are actioned in a visible manner - else you will lose credibility again.
All the best. Let me know if you require more help.
Regards
Ryan
