Advanced Analytics: Group Differences

What is it?

Group Differences analysis uses survey data to categorize employees into two or more distinct groups, allowing for a comprehensive comparison of their survey scores. This approach proves to be valuable, showing the impact of diverse work perceptions on other work-related characteristics.

For example, the impact of engagement becomes evident when we compare the survey results of engaged and disengaged employees.

Most commonly used groups are:

• Engaged vs Disengaged employees
• Leavers vs Stayers
• Good/Just right workload vs (Far) Too high workload
• Promotors vs Detractors

When is this useful?

Group differences are useful when you want to see how different categories of respondents compare to each other.
Examples of use cases:

• “Can you give me the top 10 differences of the scores of people wanting to leave the company and people who don’t?”
• “What are the biggest differences in the scores of employees with good versus high workload?”
• “Can you show me the different scores of managers on level 1-3?”

What do you receive?

A complete overview of the question and theme scores (Excel report) per group, to see the differences between these two (or more) groups.
