Why do you need my demographic information?
Demographic information helps organisations understand the experiences of different groups of people.
Here are some examples:
- Age
- Gender
- Ethnicity
They're used to make sure important insights are not missed and to ensure organisations provide an environment that supports everyone.
For example, consider the question:
Honesty and directness are valued in our organisation
The average score across the survey might show that 65% of participants agree with this statement. But if you analyse the results by gender, it might change. It could reveal that males have an average score of 75%, whereas other genders (like female or prefer not to say) have an average score of around 41%.
💡Did you know? When you provide demographic information, it can't be used to identify your answers. It can only be used to help understand the overall survey results.
