Our Rules of Confidentiality

There are three minimum rules in Ennova best practice

In reports

We require a minimum of 4 answers to create a report (Ennova may have agreed to a higher minimum in some cases).

We can secure confidentiality at 4 answers, because we will never report any frequencies or proportions of positive or negative employees in a unit report. We will only show average scores between 0-100 for the 4 answers and that is protecting the individual answer.

If there are less than 4 answers the answers will be moved up in the hierarchy. No answers will be lost.

On questions

We require a minimum of 2 answers to generate a result on question level (in a report with at least 4 answers in general).

On background splits

Like the general rule, we require 4 answers for each category in a background split (e.g. a split on age) to create a report.

We require a difference of at least 3 responses between reports in order to produce them – this rule overrides the minimum rule.

If the difference is less than 3 answers, the answers will be moved up in the hierarchy, thus protecting the 1-2 respondents. No answers will be lost.

Additional reports

Any additional report - all reports not in the Organizer structure – have to comply to the rule of difference. Hence, at least 3 answers must be in difference when comparing to existing reports.

When two answers from a unit are part of a total of 102 answers, it is not possible to identify the two respondent’s answers. Thus, these two are still protected and therefore we will generate the report.
