The “SURVEY ANALYTICS” page displays the favorability distribution, heat map, and engagement index based on the survey responses.

3. Favorability distribution (FD)

The favorability distribution shows how responses are distributed for agreement choice questions. It helps admins understand the level of engagement across sections and questions.

Favorability distribution is calculated using the following formula:

Favorability Distribution (FD) = Total favorable responses of active agreement choice questions / Total number of responses

📒Note: Active questions are questions that are not hidden. If a question is hidden, respondents and admins can still view the responses, but those responses are not included in the favorability distribution score.

Favorability distribution considers only “Strongly Agree” and “Agree” responses as favorable.

Responses are categorized as follows:

  • Strongly Agree or Agree → Favorable
  • Neither Agree nor Disagree → Neutral
  • Strongly Disagree or Disagree → Unfavorable

The system automatically calculates these ratios based on survey responses.

The following colors indicate the favorability distribution:

  • Green: Favorable
  • Yellow: Neutral
  • Red: Unfavorable

4. Heat map

The heat map provides insights into engagement levels across survey sections and questions. It represents data using color variations and compares responses across functional groups against a selected baseline.

The system uses the baseline as the reference score when generating the heat map.

  • If the response score is higher than the baseline, the value appears with a plus (+) sign.
  • If the response score is lower than the baseline, the value appears with a minus (-) sign.
  • Smaller differences appear in lighter colors, while larger differences appear in darker colors.

5. Engagement index (EI)

The engagement index measures employee engagement based on responses to driver questions.

If admins mark certain agreement choice questions as driver questions, only those questions are considered when calculating the engagement index.

To count toward the engagement index, respondents must answer all driver questions with favorable responses (Strongly Agree or Agree).

The engagement index is calculated using the following formula:

Engagement Index (EI) = Total favorable responses of active driver questions / Total number of responses to the driver questions

📒Note: Active questions are not hidden.
