Dear all,
I am a student specializing in HR. I am doing a project on competency mapping in the corporate office of a popular textile company in my place. Few of the employees refuse to cooperate with me in filling the questionnaires. They feel that my project will affect their job. Today morning all of a sudden few employees started to shout at me for no reason. I was humble and I tried my best to convince them. But they were not ready to listen. I was completely broke and did not know wat to do. to But now I think I should have handled the situation better. As this was my first experience I don’t have any idea about how I should have carried it:?: Can anybody tell me wat I should ve done or share your experiences about how you handled such problems...
Thank you
Have a good day !!

Dear,
This is your project, and in this situation, there can be unrest in the factory. Until they recognize you, they will not cooperate with you. You are new to that organization. Seek help from HR for the questionnaire. Never write a name on the questionnaire. No one should know who has filled out this questionnaire; do not ask for workers' names.
If you identify them, they may not provide correct information or oppose it because they fear for their jobs.

Hey Janani,
To add up to Mr. Malik, it's the way you put forward your questions. Ensure that the language you use is participant-friendly. You will never get a direct response from any employee, even if you are an HR within the company. It is difficult for you to get a response.
Please remember to remove the name and personal details section from the questionnaire. Also, you can seek help from the managers in the organization to get your work done.

Thank you for the suggestions, sir.
Although the questionnaire is confidential, I have found that some individuals discuss it with their fellow employees (I am conducting a 180-degree assessment, which includes superiors, subordinates, peers, and end users) while filling it out. Furthermore, many of them seem to complete it just for the sake of doing so, rather than with genuine commitment. Is there a way to enhance the efficiency of my project?

Janani,
Please drop me a private message. I will give you my email ID, and if you can send me the questionnaire, then I can advise you.
Please see my posts on Research Methodology at CiteHR. Is there a covering letter to the questionnaire which is endorsed by management? In the days of recession, any such study will evoke emotions.

Dear Janani,
Please explain your project to them, and nothing should be put in writing with them. You should only ask some questions and fill it out yourself; this is a specific project where you need to fill in all the entries. Nobody is going to ask about the filling of entries by you or by the employee.
Let me know the textile unit name. I have been to most of the textile units, and I can provide some assistance for your project. I have good connections with some of the biggest textile manufacturers and export houses.
Anyway, today is Sunday. Why are you working on this day? You should take a rest at least one day a week. Do take some time for your planning as well.

The management and the HR department support me a lot. They want to get this project done. However, I can see an obvious difference when I approach the employees directly versus when some other senior person accompanies me. They look at me as if an alien traveled all the way only to put them in trouble. I don't want to complicate things by taking it to the heads. I think I should try to explain the staff more clearly about the project and its importance.

Hey Janani, yours is not a peculiar situation. Any kind of performance assessments is always looked at sceptically by employees, and textiles being a traditional sector, such assessments will be new to them.
Usually in such situations, you have to try getting the support of the opinion makers in the group (Union leaders, informal leaders, etc.). Explain the objective of the assessment to them, get their buy-in. Support from HR is not going to help because HR represents the management in any company.
