Before deciding to use written interview questionnaires as an alternative to verbal interviews for workers, employers and auditors should consider the following factors:
- Does this method provide a better opportunity to gather feedback from workers than face-to-face interviews?
- Will the workers who participate have adequate reading and writing skills to complete the questionnaire?
- Will the questionnaire respondents be able to write out a full answer, not just “yes” or “no?”
