confidentiality
our protocols are designed to protect privacy while maximizing insights
trust is the key

employees must be assured of their privacy & confidentiality in order to provide open, honest and productive feedback. part of this faith is derived from the existing corporate culture and the remainder is a product of the survey roll-out.
privacy is always a concern for employees because they often believe that regardless of what companies say, they ultimately have access to the personal information and they can conduct a witch-hunt if they aren’t happy with the results. third party involvement in the survey process helps employees take comfort in knowing that their responses will remain completely private regardless of the feedback.
confidentiality is the next major concern for employees. they often worry that the information being reported will be sliced and diced until it is obvious who said what. we will help you avert this by constructing a strategic reporting framework that will protect the confidentiality of respondents while maximizing the amount of reporting breakouts for management.
