  • Online survey: If you provide us with your email addresses, we can send a link to the online survey directly to your employees. Each survey has a unique survey code which makes the process more robust as each employee only has access to one survey code and can therefore only complete the survey once.

Yes, Energage takes confidentiality extremely seriously. Without confidentiality, this survey would not provide the candid feedback which makes the results so valuable. We only show survey results that are the aggregate of at least 5 employees. For certain results views we require 10 responders (to display the department associated with a comment) and 30 responders (to show a heatmap).

Your company’s survey results are not shared with any third party.

We have surveyed over 23 million employees via email and have never and will never release a single email address to another party or use a survey-taker’s email address for any purpose other than inviting the individual to take the workplace survey.

A 35% response rate is required to be considered for Top Workplaces designation. For organizations with less than 85 employees, 30 survey responses are required.

No, we keep the names of participants confidential. Only the names of participants that make the Top Workplaces lists are shared with the partner newspaper.
