When is the current employee survey going to start? Do you complete? Does your boss require you to take it even those it’s supposed to be anonymous?

@OP STOP FILLING OUT THE SURVEY. Stop filling out the survey. It only benefits the company. It helps them pass different programs. They get to check off the box. Survey - check. No whee does it say they have to do anything about the results. Take NCQA- it is required to pass. If they didn’t pass the company would have a real problem. Stop helping them pass.
Its pretty anonymous on a larger team. But comments can sometimes out who you are. I answered honestly but didn't give any comments. It doesn't matter. Anything employees actually care about your direct leadership can do nothing about. They may have a bit of ability on workload, burnout, flexibility.
It actually is anonymous. The code only tells you who took it not the answers they wrote. However, if you are detailed in your free text responses your boss will obviously know it was you.
I give positive feedback even though I don’t mean it. At the end of the day, they don’t care.
@cb LMAO too funny
They know who fills it out by survey_id
I've worked here 29 years. Never seen a single thing improve from the survey LOL.
Read the details about confidentiality on sparq. Best approach is to be Mature and Professional
@cn probably depends on your business / department. It's part of my performance eval, abd my director's.
@ck Survey participation is not a factor for my evaluation, fwiw. Managers get no specific insights into who participated or what their answers were. Only a summarized report for the BU/division.
Manager and Director levels can't tell who completed. Maybe higher up can, but I really don't think they can.
If you have a good Manager, just complete the radio buttons. Psrticipation is a part of your managers performance evaluation .
Nothing bothers them more than lack of participation.
I went to a meeting about the survey last year for leadership and they told us its not anonymous but claim its confidential. I refuse to take it. They are really pushing it this year. I tell my team about it and leave it up to them to take it. If they do great, if they dont oh well. Not like upper listens
The comedy about surveys (15+ years of experience)
Them: "Oh, we are low in this area of the survey. Let's form a TIGER TEAM to assess and analyze the results and come up with corrective action(s)..."
Also them:
It’s confidential not anonymous. It’s tied to you that’s why you can’t share the link and only remains confidential if they want. Yes a coworker was directly contacted a few years ago about why she put in a certain comment so no it’s not anonymous and it’s not confidential if they want to ask questions. They know who says what if you type in comments.
Can confirm its anonymized. At least at director level. We dont get to see who filled it out and their exact details - just the overall ratings.
My boss is great, however above him are @$$holes. I'm not filling it out.
Why does anyone fill out the survey. The survey helps them meet regulatory compliance, nothing else. All the bobbleheads who actually believe that they use it to improve workforce conditions are insane. If people really wanted to make a point and have the board actually do something about what the survey is about, no one would participate. If they can’t pass their certifications than all eyes would turn to the root problems they have. If the employees really wanted to send a message to leadership and more important the board, there would be zero participants in their survey.
@ad yeah right lol
@a8 bad ratings hurt them too.. I say rate those sc-mbags sh-t they deserve
@a6 it's anonymous. I am a director and her survey, I can't tell who submitted it, it's completely anonymous. Don't spread rumors!
If you don’t like your boss, it’s better to NOT complete the survey than to leave negative feedback. The response rate is more important to your boss’s boss than than the score.
Definitely not anonymous and you will be punished with endless meetings if you provide negative feedback.
