Employee Survey FAQs and Privacy Policy

Employee Survey FAQs

The survey is designed to measure your organization’s capability to develop and manage its employees in a way that improves its key outcomes.

Survey results are most useful to your organization when they are based on the experiences and perceptions of a wide range of employees.

The time needed to collect the survey will vary. However, with a few exceptions, the survey should not take more than 10 minutes to complete.

These questions were compiled through extensive research on what factors are most critical to an organization’s ability to effectively develop and manage its employees in order to meet its goals.

When you finish your survey the answers you provided are saved in a database, along with data provided by other employees. Once all responses have been collected, McBassi will analyze the data and produce a summary report for your organization.

The report will contain general findings and scores regarding your organization’s capabilities in developing and managing its employees. No individually-identifiable employee data is included in the report or any other information provided to your organization.

You can contact the tool’s primary developer, Dr. Laurie Bassi at lbassi@mcbassi.com.

Privacy Policy

Last updated November 3, 2022

Privacy Policy for Employee Surveys Conducted by McBassi & Company, LLC (“McBassi”).

Any employee responses to surveys conducted by McBassi (including McBassi People Index surveys, DEI surveys, and other surveys of an organization’s employees) on behalf of employers who are clients of McBassi are subject to the contract and/or non-disclosure agreements signed with the relevant client organization.

Unless otherwise noted in a specific survey itself, McBassi survey contracts and non-disclosure agreements are written to ensure that the anonymity and confidentiality of each employee respondent is fully protected by McBassi.

Individual responses to multiple-choice questions will be seen only by McBassi staff and will not be made available in any way to anyone else in the organization. All McBassi analysis and reports will be based on summaries and average of data collected from groups of respondents, with no results reported for groups smaller than a minimum size.

Occasionally, an employee survey may include one or more open-ended response questions in which verbatim responses are collected with the intention of forwarding them directly to the employer. For those questions, McBassi will include clear language in the survey itself stating that responses to those open-ended questions will be sent to the employer, and the text will also caution the respondent not to include any personally-identifiable information in order to maintain their anonymity.

What about data privacy rights under GDPR? For employee surveys conducted in countries regulated by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), McBassi does not receive and does not collect data defined as Personal Data under article 4.1 of the GDPR. Any data collected from EU residents through the surveys is insufficient, even in combination, to allow for identification of an individual person.
