Confidentiality Rules

Our Survey Definition & Methodology

Our surveys are built to give an honest picture of your workplace. Every answer counts, and all responses are combined on a simple 0–100 scale so no single person can ever be identified.

The results help leaders and teams focus on what really drives engagement and makes work better for everyone.

The Minimum Rule

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.

The Rule of Difference

The Rule of Difference ensures that the scores from a few employees cannot be identified by comparing different reports.

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.

The Rule of Answers

If there are more than 100 answers, the report will always be generated. The Rule of Answers sets a side the Rule of Difference.

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.
