Qualitative post-test evaluation of ESENER Overview Report

This report draws the findings from a series of cognitive face-to-face interviews conducted with both management and (where possible) employee respondents to the 2009 ESENER survey in 90 establishments in five countries: Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom. The interviews explored both (1) how respondents understood and interpreted a number of the survey questions and also (2) the interviewees’ substantive responses to the questions themselves. This report focuses on the first point, the technical aspects of the survey, covering issues with the form and content of the questions and possible response options to some of the key survey questions.
