The HR department analyses employee surveys with free-text answers

Ready to goAI Act: no extra obligationsAnalysing & reporting dataAll industries

Fits: Leaders & strategy · HR

Hundreds of free-text answers quickly become the main topics with their frequency. HR can report results back faster without weakening the anonymity of the answers.

Is this for you?

  • Your survey has free-text fields that hardly anyone reads in full at the moment.
  • The survey is anonymous, and there is an agreement with the works council or the workforce on how it is analysed.
First step today

Write 15 made-up answers in the style of your last survey, with no real content, and have them summarised into topics with the template below. That way you see what the result looks like before real answers go into a tool.

How to go about it

  1. Set the analysis questions and limits
  2. Prepare and sanitise the answers
  3. Have the topics summarised
  4. Check the counts and the summary
  5. Prepare the result for staff and management
  6. Fix the process for the next survey
