A number of employees hold advanced degrees and several have been published in prominent scientific and business periodicals. In order to ensure the continuing excellence of our staff we conduct regular internal training seminars.

Field Work QA

The agency exercises very strict control over all stages of field work. Field QA is maintained by the following methods:

• Pilot survey of the agreed number of respondents
• Systematic sample telephone survey check (20-30%)
• Geographical control in accordance with the address program of field managers
• Use of hidden screening questions in surveys
• Statistical analysis of respondents’ answers while processing results
• Mystery-respondent: control through the involvement of “employee-imitators”
• High quality selection, hiring, training and instruction of our interviewers
• A systematic approach to project management: field managers and interviewers act in full compliance with their job descriptions.

They prepare the market overview for each project. Furthermore, we have implemented a system of fines and bonuses to encourage and ensure employee compliance.
