Understandably, survey respondents occasionally raise questions over the confidentiality and security of their survey responses. We would like to assure everyone that we take both of these issues very seriously. The confidentiality statements below apply for the workplace climate surveys that we run (for example the JRA Best Workplaces Survey, New Zealand Workplace Survey, Local Government Workplace Survey, or your organisation's staff/climate/engagement survey). Survey respondents: Your survey response and personal details - If you have been asked to enter your email address in order to receive a link to a survey, please be assured that the survey reporting available to your organisation's management will not display names or email addresses at all. We will not provide a list of individual respondents who have (or haven't) responded to a survey if asked.
- Your individual survey responses will always be combined with those of other people - it is not possible for your individual responses to be viewed by your organisation's management (the exception is for free-text comments - see below). Our online survey reporting requires that at least 5 people have responded in any given group before reporting becomes available. Some people raise concerns about the cross tabbing of organisation demographics - the possibility that your response could be identified if you complete the survey demographics page and you are (for example) the only female in the Sales department who is aged 30-39 years old. As already noted, our reporting requires that at least 5 people have responded in any given group, and this includes any group generated by cross tab. In the case above, if you are the only person that meets all the criteria, your individual response would not be able to be viewed.
- Please be aware that any questions that allow you to make free-text comments will be reported verbatim - that is, whatever you type into those fields is what management will be able to read. If you are concerned about your confidentiality, please consider this when writing your comments, as a particular reference or 'turn of phrase' may identify you.
- If you have been provided with a username and password to access a survey, no one else will be given these details. Your password will normally be a randomly generated alphanumeric code, although if you have done a survey with us before, our system may keep your previously-used password. This is all done automatically. JRA will not share your password with anyone else.
