Abstract: A method of displaying survey results is disclosed. In one embodiment, for each response to each item by each survey respondent, a calibrated score is determined. The calibrated score is based on a probability that a person having the collection of respondent segments associated with the survey respondent would provide either the response to the item or any of the response options to the item that are lower on the ordinal scale, or the response to the item or any of the response options to the item that are higher on the ordinal scale. An organization composite score is determined based on the calibrated score for each response. A display includes images corresponding with the organization composite score and other organization composite scores. Each image is located with respect to a first axis based on the associated organization composite score.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention can be a method for assessing unstructured comments, the method including providing reference data generated from a first set of unstructured comments from a first group; receiving a second set of unstructured comments from a second group; identifying a significant word within each unstructured comment of the second set of unstructured comments; for each significant word identified within the second set of unstructured comments, determining a frequency of occurrence of the significant word; and generating a visualization including a portion of the identified significant words, wherein for each visualized significant word, a first aspect of an appearance of the significant word is based on an extent to which the frequency of occurrence deviates from a frequency of occurrence of the significant word in the first set of unstructured comments.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention can be a method of displaying survey results. The method can include, for each of a plurality of survey items, receiving survey responses from survey respondents, wherein each response is chosen from response options, the response options corresponding to an ordinal scale; each respondent is associated with a collection of respondent segments; and each response to each item by each survey respondent corresponds with a response score. The method can further include, for each item and respondent segment, determining a composite score based on the response score. Further, response groupings can be displayed according to a noteworthiness ranking that is based on at least two of the composite score, a change in the composite score, and a sum of weights for each respondent segment.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention can be a method for manager-to-employee communication, the method including receiving comment data from employee devices of employees of an organization, the comment data indicating employee comments to a survey topic; receiving contact-me data from a manager device indicating contact-me requests, the contact-me requests indicating that the manager desires the employees to contact the manager directly regarding the employee comments to the survey topic; receiving contact-me response data from the employee devices indicating whether the employees will contact the manager directly; and generating a manager rating based on the saved contact-me response data.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention can be a method of protecting confidentiality in a real-time survey, the method including receiving from each of a plurality of organization respondents a real-time response to a survey topic; receiving an indication of an organizational change affecting a first member of the organization, the organizational change comprising the first member departing or joining a first department, the first department comprising a plurality of first department respondents, the plurality of first department respondents being a first subset of the plurality of organization respondents; defining a first safe group comprising a first subset of the plurality of first department respondents, the first safe group having first safe group responses to the survey topic; and providing a response report for at least the first department, the response report excluding the first safe group responses.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention can be a method for assessing unstructured comments, the method including providing reference data generated from a first set of unstructured comments from a first group; receiving a second set of unstructured comments from a second group; identifying a significant word within each unstructured comment of the second set of unstructured comments; for each significant word identified within the second set of unstructured comments, determining a frequency of occurrence of the significant word; and generating a visualization including a portion of the identified significant words, wherein for each visualized significant word, a first aspect of an appearance of the significant word is based on an extent to which the frequency of occurrence deviates from a frequency of occurrence of the significant word in the first set of unstructured comments.
