Analyze Engagement Results: Statements Report

Statement Table Overview

The Statements Report helps you understand how each survey statement influences overall engagement. At the core of this report are Predictive Impact Scores, which quantify the effect each statement has on engagement—empowering HR and leadership teams to focus their efforts where they’ll make the biggest difference. You can explore this data using two complementary views in the Statements Report: Heatmap and List view.

Heatmap View

The Heatmap view provides a visual, color-coded representation of statement-level impact across different teams or demographics. It highlights areas of strength and opportunities for improvement, helping you quickly spot engagement “hot spots” and identify which statements are having the greatest positive or negative effect.

List View

The List view offers a more detailed table of metrics for each survey statement, making it ideal for deeper analysis. Use this view when you want to examine individual statements closely or compare data like Predictive Impact Scores, average responses, percentiles, and response distributions.

Both views are fully filterable, so you can tailor your analysis to focus on particular teams, demographics, or drivers—ensuring your efforts are aligned with what matters most.

"Pin Statements" Filter

The Pin Statements filter, located at the top of the statement table, helps you zero in on the most influential items.

• Top 5 Negative Impact: Statements with the most negative Predictive Impact Scores. These highlight areas where low scores are significantly hurting engagement and should be prioritized for improvement.
• Top 5 Positive Impact: Statements with the most positive impact, reflecting areas that are strongly supporting engagement. These are key strengths to protect and celebrate.
• Top 5 Overall Impact: The five statements with the highest absolute impact—whether positive or negative—offering a combined view of what matters most.
• Engagement Driver-Specific Statements: Focus on statements tied to a specific engagement driver (e.g., Autonomy, Purpose, Role Clarity) to see how they’re influencing overall engagement and where to take targeted action.

Now that you have a clear overview of the Statements Report and its key features, let’s dive deeper into how to use each view, starting with the Heatmap.

Interact with Heatmap View

The Heatmap provides a color-coded visual that makes it easy to spot patterns and prioritize action. It highlights which statements have the greatest predicted impact on engagement and how different groups scored on each. Use the steps below to interact with this view effectively.

   • Columns display each survey statement with its associated engagement driver.
   • Rows display each group in your selected group type alongside their engagement score and # of survey respondents.
   • The top row provides organization-wide data for quick comparison.
2. Filter by Group Type. Use the dropdown menu in the top-left corner to choose how you want to segment your data—by department, manager, location, or other Group Types or demographic attributes.
   
3. Spot High-Impact Areas. Pay attention to color intensity. Blue cells indicate statements with a positive impact on engagement, while orange cells indicate a negative impact. Darker shades signify a greater influence on overall engagement. Use this color-coding to quickly identify trends, strengths, and opportunities.

5. Explore Distribution Details. Hover over any distribution bar to see a detailed response breakdown. By default, responses are grouped into Unfavorable, Neutral, and Favorable categories.
   
   For a more detailed view, toggle on the “Show full answer distributions” option in the top-right corner of the table. This will display responses across the full 5-point scale from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree—mirroring the original survey format.
   

Interact with Other Statements

The Other Statements section in the Statements report includes survey statements from additional surveys like the Manager Effectiveness Survey, Topic-Based Surveys (e.g., "Diversity & Inclusion Progress," "Burnout Assessement"), and any custom surveys your organization added the your campaign.

These statements offer valuable context and insight beyond the core engagement questions. While they don’t include Predictive Impact Scores, they still provide meaningful data you can use to guide decisions.

Each row in this section includes the following metrics:

• Statement: The survey statement participants responded to.
• Average Response: The average score given by respondents, calculated on a 0–4 scale.
• Percentile: Shows how responses compare to other organizations in the 15Five dataset. (Only available for 15Five-created surveys)
• Distribution: A bar showing the spread of responses categorized as Unfavorable, Neutral, or Favorable.
