During most surveying programs, employers are given access to an online dashboard where they can view live submission rates.
Participation Rates During the Survey Period
Shortly after the employee survey launch, the primary contact will receive an email from Surveys@BestCompaniesGroup.com with access to our Response Rate Dashboard. With this live dashboard you can view how many total surveys were sent, how many have been submitted, how many submitted surveys you need to be considered for the "best" list and how many more you need to reach that minimum. However, please remember that the survey is optional, not mandatory. You cannot force employees to complete the survey or ask them to report to you when they have completed it. You are welcome to tell employees how many submitted surveys are needed to be considered and you are encouraged to send your own reminders to employees.
If you have any questions, please contact your Program Manager or submit a ticket and a BCG team member will contact you.
Participation Rate Requirements:
1. For companies surveying less than 25 employees, an 80% participation rate is required.
2. For companies surveying 25 or more employees, a 40% participation rate is required.
3. Companies with more than 250 employees that choose to survey a higher random sample than calculated in this chart, should review the dashboard to see how many more submitted surveys are needed to reach the minimum.
Meeting the above participation rates is required to be eligible to make the list.
