  6. Find the "Company-wide confidentiality rule" setting. 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.

  7. When you're done, click Save changes. Your changes will take effect in future engagement campaigns.
