EES Confidentiality Statement

Participants in the 2024 Yale Employee Engagement Survey (EES) will retain their confidentiality throughout the survey and in the analysis of the results. The survey is administered by an outside firm, Perceptyx, on a secure external website and will not be stored on any Yale computer.

Staff members/participants will be asked to log in using a Single Sign On (SSO), which at Yale is their NetID and password, to gain access to the survey. They will be asked to respond to survey questions/items that align with the following categories: engagement, belonging, future vision, change and innovation, growth and development, performance enhancement, teamwork and collaboration, manager relationship, recognition and reward, workplace and well-being, open-ended questions, and a few demographic questions. It is important to note that if there are fewer than ten participant responses in a unit or any demographic category, the data will not be reported for that unit or category. However, it will be rolled up into a division-level report only, not a department report.

Results from the data analyses are reported only in the aggregate, in a manner that does not identify individuals. Results to a question will be provided only if at least ten individuals answered that question. Results from different demographics (e.g., race, gender, disability) will not be reported unless ten or more respondents from that demographic answer the question.

The survey results will display the number of responses; however, names nor individual information will be known or available. The survey results, analyzed by Perceptyx, will be used by Yale.
