February 2024 Driver and Question Update
We're excited to share some significant updates to our Engagement Survey model that aim to enrich the insights you gain about your workplace. Our continuous pursuit of excellence and your invaluable feedback have led us to refine our survey drivers and adopt a more unified rating scale. Here's what's new:

Unified 5-Point Likert Agreement Scale
To streamline the survey experience and enhance the interpretability of results, we have transitioned all our questions to a 5-point Likert Agreement scale. Several key reasons back this decision:
- Ease of Completion: A unified scale reduces the cognitive load on employees, making it simpler and less mentally taxing to complete the survey.
- Clarity for Administrators: Likert scales provide Roslin admins with a straightforward, easy-to-interpret framework, facilitating more precise insights and more actionable data.
- Robust Feedback Mechanism: The 5-Point Likert scale is renowned for its effectiveness in capturing a wide range of feedback, making it an ideal choice for gathering nuanced responses.
Our goal with these enhancements is to provide you with a more intuitive, comprehensive tool for gauging employee engagement and the factors that drive it. We believe these updates will improve your staff's survey experience and empower Roslin admins with deeper, more actionable insights.
