  • Show "average score " in all bar chart reports - When enabled, all bar chart reports have a red vertical line indicating the average score from all answers.


Preferred method to measure employee engagement

Select one of two options

  • Score - Employee engagement will be measured by comparing each questions score against the best team's score. The final results are presented through a 0-100 score.

  • 5-point Likert Scale - Employee engagement will be measured by asking respondents to rate items of level of agreement. The final results are presented in percentages on a bar chart indicating, favourable, neutral, and unfavorable engagement groups.
