People Insight’s approach to confidentiality

Employee surveys only work when people feel safe enough to tell the truth. If employees worry that their responses can be traced back to them, feedback becomes guarded, surface-level or disappears altogether.

That is why confidentiality matters so much. In this report, we explain exactly how People Insight protects anonymity and confidentiality across employee surveys and 360 feedback. From independent data collection and minimum reporting thresholds to comment handling, secure reporting and GDPR-aligned processes, this guide sets out what employees, managers and leaders can expect at every stage.

Inside, you will explore:

• Why confidentiality is the foundation of honest employee listening

• How People Insight keeps individual responses out of the hands of internal stakeholders

• What minimum reporting thresholds and aggregated reporting mean in practice

• How comments are handled to protect identities while still surfacing meaningful insight

• What employees, managers and leaders can realistically expect from a confidential survey

• How the same principles apply in 360 feedback

Each section is designed to answer the questions people actually ask:

• Can HR see my responses?
• Will my manager know what I said?
• What happens in a small team?

The report gives clear, practical answers and shows how strong confidentiality builds the trust needed for sharper insights and smarter action.

If you want employees to speak honestly and leaders to act with confidence, this report explains the foundations that make that possible.
