Protecting the anonymity of respondents during your employee engagement survey can be achieved in different ways.
The Anonymous Written Questionnaire
The anonymity of survey participants can be protected through the use of written questionnaires. Written surveys can be equipped with codes that enable responses to be processed without revealing the identity of the respondents. Moreover, employee engagement surveys can be sent to employees’ home addresses in order to ensure there has been no external pressure. The two envelope method of voter secrecy can then be used. The outside envelope often includes a waiver, but the envelope contained inside is a generic one that is then put into a large ballot box to ensure anonymity.
The Online Employee Engagement Survey
Online employee engagement surveys protect both the personal data and identity of participants. Our system’s architecture uses end-to-end encryption, allowing respondents to remain anonymous. Another advantage is that responses cannot be linked to an employee’s handwriting because everything is done digitally.
