Response Rate: Participation By Group

The Response Rate Report allows you to observe trends in responses for a specific question. This report shows how many people responded to a given question out of the number of possible responses expected. As a result, it helps you strategize how to advertise projects by proactively reaching out to certain groups to increase response rates.

For example, imagine that you expect 100 employees at a certain location to respond to your employee engagement survey but you have not received any responses from that location. It’s better to find out this information while the project is still live so that you can improve outreach to that location immediately.
