First, let’s discuss the survey highlights reports. 

Key sections in Survey Highlights 

The survey highlights are broken into five sections, each designed to provide actionable insights:

1. Positive outcomes

This section identifies what is going well within the selected group or demographic. It highlights:

  • Areas where scores and sentiments indicate strong engagement
  • Topics that should be maintained and celebrated to ensure sustained success

2. Areas of improvement

This section focuses on areas that need attention. It highlights:

  • Scores and feedback that indicate lower satisfaction or engagement
  • Topics requiring immediate action to improve employee experience

3. Potential risks

This section flags areas that could pose a risk in the future. It identifies:

  • Topics with neutral or negative sentiment that have the potential to worsen
  • Emerging challenges that may lead to larger issues like turnover or disengagement if left unaddressed

4. Critical insights

This section emphasizes the most important findings critical to organizational success. It highlights:

  • High-impact areas that contribute significantly to engagement and performance
  • Opportunities to leverage strengths for long-term growth

5. Key drivers

This section pinpoints the most influential factors contributing to the overall survey outcomes. It highlights:

  • The questions or reporting factors that have the highest impact on engagement
  • Focus areas to drive meaningful change and improvement

Key Drivers- In detail 

Under Positive Outcomes, topics of reports are generated based on responses which are driven by questions or reporting factors(which you use).

Under Positive Outcomes, there are three subsections: Strong commitment & engagement, leadership and engagement(which are auto generated). 

Since the data is grouped by department, these reports compare your department with others in the organization, providing a consolidated view.

Note: 

We have explored the Positive Outcomes section in detail to provide a clearer understanding.

Similarly, for all key sections in the reports which includes positive outcomes, areas of improvement, potential risks, critical insights, key drivers- three such corresponding sub-sections are generated.
