How to set a confidentiality threshold 👩💻
- Click on the Settings gear in the top, right-hand corner of 15Five.
- Select "Features" from the dropdown menu.
- Open Engage feature settings.
- Next, open the "Results visibility" tab.
- Select your desired confidentiality rule. By default, engagement survey results are hidden for groups with fewer than five (5) survey respondents to protect employee confidentiality and data integrity. If desired, you can change the respondent minimum from 5 to either 3 or 4. Read more about confidentiality for engagement surveys.
Tip
Although we offer the flexibility to set your confidentiality threshold to 3 or 4 respondents, we highly recommend sticking to what we call the "Rule of 5." This recommended policy prevents engagement results from being displayed for groups with fewer than five (5) survey respondents and is specifically engineered to protect respondent anonymity while also providing precise, actionable insights from your engagement surveys.
- When you're done, click Save. Your changes will take effect in future engagement campaigns.
Tip
Refer to our "Configure Engagement feature settings" article for information about configuring additional settings.
