Anonymous surveys are essential for maintaining employee trust and encouraging honest feedback. In HRSimplified, the Anonymous Survey feature ensures that responses are confidential, fostering an open environment for employees to express their thoughts without fear of identification. This guide walks you through creating anonymous survey templates and explains why anonymity settings are fixed after creation.
Why Use Anonymous Surveys? #
Anonymous surveys empower employees to share honest feedback on sensitive topics. They are especially useful for:
- Employee engagement assessments.
- Workplace culture evaluations.
- Health and safety reviews.
- Exit interviews or anonymous complaint systems.
By ensuring anonymity, HRSimplified promotes transparency and trust in HR processes.
How to Create an Anonymous Survey Template #
- Navigate to the Survey Management Module
- Under the Survey Management section in the menu, select Templates to view or create survey templates.
- Click ‘Create Template’
- You’ll be presented with an option to either start with a preloaded template or create a new one.
- Enable the Anonymous Option
- At the top of the template creation form, toggle the Anonymous switch to activate anonymity for the survey.
- Important: Once the template is created, this setting cannot be changed.
- Fill Out the Template Details
- Add a template name, type, and category.
- Include a description of the survey’s purpose.
- Save and Proceed
- Once saved, the template is locked in with the selected anonymity settings.
What Happens If You Forget to Enable the Anonymous Option? #
If you create a survey without enabling anonymity, it cannot be changed later due to privacy restrictions. HRSimplified prioritizes data confidentiality and ensures that employees trust the platform. If anonymity is required, a new survey template must be created.
