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 you to focus on areas that will make the biggest difference. This statement table offers 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.

This table is 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.

   You’ll see the following metrics:
   • Statement: The survey statement participants responded to.
   • Driver: The statement's associated engagement driver, representing the area of the employee experience the statement relates to.
   • Predictive Impact: How much that statement influenced the overall engagement score..
   • Average response: The average score given by participants. Refer to the FAQs to learn how this is calculated.
   • Trend: Shows how each statement has changed since the last survey — helping you spot areas improving (or slipping) at a glance.
   • Percentile: How responses compare to other organizations in the 15Five dataset.
   • Distribution:A bar chart showing the spread of favorable, neutral, and unfavorable responses.
2. Sort Columns to Prioritize Focus. Click any column header to sort the table by that metric. This is helpful for ranking statements by Predictive Impact, average response, or percentile.
   
3. View High-Impact Statements. Use the “Pin statements” filter in the top-right corner to display only pinned/high-impact statements, helping you stay focused on what matters most.
   
4. Pin Key Statements for Comparison. To keep a specific statement top-of-mind, hover over a row and click the 📌 icon to pin it to the top of the list. This is especially useful for comparing related statements or tracking recurring themes across groups.
   
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.
   
6. 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, Organizational Commitment, 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)
• Trend: Shows how each statement has changed since the last survey — helping you spot areas improving (or slipping) at a glance.
• Distribution: A bar showing the spread of responses categorized as Unfavorable, Neutral, or Favorable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) ❓

What are Predictive Impact Scores?

Predictive Impact Scores are scores that predict, with high confidence, exactly how much impact a statement will have on employee engagement. They're powered by 15Five’s Predictive Impact Model—a machine learning model trained on hundreds of thousands of survey responses to identify which. Learn more about how the Predictive Impact Model works →

How are Predictive Impact Scores calculated?

Predictive Impact Scores are generated using 15Five’s AI-powered Predictive Impact Model. The model is trained on hundreds of thousands of survey responses and identifies how much each statement influences overall engagement. Learn more in our Predictive Impact Model: Tool Overview.

How are the scores in the Statements Report determined?

If your campaign used the Total Engagement or Engagement Score + Drivers survey options, the scores in this report are based on predictive impact scores, highlighting the statements that most influenced your team’s engagement. For other survey types, the report will reflect the statements with the highest and lowest raw average scores instead.

What’s the difference between average response and Predictive Impact Score?

Average response reflects how favorably or unfavorably participants answered a statement on a 0–4 scale.

Predictive Impact Score shows how much that statement contributes to overall engagement—regardless of whether the score is high or low.

How is the average response calculated?

Survey participants respond to each statement using a 5-point scale, from “Strongly disagree” to “Strongly agree.” These responses are converted to a numeric scale from 0 to 4, where 0 represents “Strongly disagree” and 4 represents “Strongly agree.” The average is then calculated across all responses.

Why don’t some statements have a percentile?

Percentile rankings are only available for statements from 15Five-created surveys. Custom survey statements (created by your organization) do not have percentile data because they aren’t benchmarked against other companies in the 15Five dataset.

What does it mean if I see "# hidden due to confidentiality"

This message appears when one or more groups don’t meet your organization’s confidentiality threshold. To protect employee anonymity, their data is hidden. Learn more.

Why don’t custom survey statements have Predictive Impact Scores?

Only statements from the full engagement survey are included in the Predictive Impact Model. Statements from other surveys—like Manager Effectiveness, Topic-Based Surveys, or custom surveys—are not used in engagement scoring and don’t receive Predictive Impact Scores.

Can I filter results by demographics or custom groups?

Yes. This report includes filters to view results by Group Type (e.g., department, location, manager) or demographic attributes (e.g., gender, tenure), depending on your organization's survey setup and permissions.

What is Organizational Commitment and why does it matter?

Organizational Commitment is a section in the "Other Statements" section of the Statements Report that highlights how emotionally connected and loyal employees feel toward your company. It’s based on responses to three engagement survey statements:

1. It would take a lot to cause me to leave [Company].
2. I am proud to tell others that I am part of [Company].
3. I feel loyal to [Company].

These statements are grouped together to give you a clear view of how committed employees feel to staying with your organization and being part of its culture.

Why it matters: Organizational Commitment is a strong indicator of both retention and cultural health. High scores reflect a workforce that feels proud, connected, and loyal—key ingredients for long-term engagement. Low scores may signal potential turnover risk or a lack of emotional attachment to the company.

You can use this data to identify where to focus efforts—such as recognition, communication, or development—to build a stronger sense of belonging and commitment across your teams.
