Will you be sharing the raw results of the survey, in, say, a week's time? I'd really like to see, for example, the percentage of people who prefer the new layout. I hope we don't just get a bland "we are using your feedback from our survey to make further enhancements to the UX".

WTF?? Why are you even on this thread if you don't know what the redesign is designed to achieve? How can you expect to respond to people here if you don't know what the objectives are? It doesn't bode well for the site, if the owners haven't bothered to communicate their objectives with their employees.

Perhaps you could list the benefits and features of the new site compared with the existing one? Currently all I can see is acres of whitespace, very restful I'm sure, but if I wanted that rather than comments, I could just open about:blank ...
