Who can use this feature?
Available on:
All Culture Amp subscriptions that include Engagement or Effectiveness (Manager and Team Effectiveness surveys).
Demographic variation reports give you more flexibility when sharing Engagement results, especially in complex or matrixed organisations. Instead of creating custom demographics on your user file like "Finance - Australia", you can select and filter multiple existing demographics to generate scoped reports at scale.
What are Demographic Variation Reports?
Demographic Variation Reports let you combine two or more demographics when creating a filtered demographic report in the Engagement product. This gives you more control over how results are filtered and shared — helping you create relevant views for managers and leaders across your business.
Example: A regional director might want to see results for Engineers in Australia without accessing all Engineers globally or all Australian employees.
Why use Demographic Variation Reports?
Demographic Variation Reports are helpful if you want to:
Understand overlapping groups, like "Location + Department" or "Tenure + Level"
Give scoped access to managers responsible for specific intersections of employees
Avoid custom demographics, which can clutter your demographic set
Save time and scale reporting, without needing to manually create and manage many one-off combinations
When to Use This Feature
Use Demographic Variation reports if you:
Need to analyse the intersection of two or more demographics
Want to give targeted access to results based on complex team structures
Don’t want to inflate your demographic list with extra combinations
Need to increase report flexibility while keeping confidentiality intact
How to Create a Demographic Variation Report
1. Go to your survey results
Navigate to the survey you'd like to report on, and select Share Reports.
Alternatively, click Sharing from your survey configuration page.
2. Click Create Filtered Report
Choose the option to create a Filtered Report.
3. Select the Demographic Variations report structure
From the dropdown menu, choose the demographic variations report structure.
4. Choose two demographics
For example: City and Department.
5. Select demographic values
Select one or more specific values under each demographic (e.g. New York and Sales).
6. Select report type and report filters
As with other shared reports, select the level of detail the report will include, along with any demographic filters you would like viewers to have access to.
7. Generate the reports
Click Create Draft to generate the reports. The system will generate a report for each possible combination of the demographics you've selected, which you can then add viewers to and publish to provide access when needed.
Things to Know
✅ Permissions & confidentiality
All confidentiality rules still apply. Reports will only appear if the group meets the reporting group minimum size, selected in your confidentiality settings. Small groups can’t be merged to bypass these limits.
⚠️ Report limits
You can generate up to 300 reports at one time.
✏️ Reports are editable
You can update Multi-Demographic Reports after they’ve been created. Just access the report and click More > Edit Configuration. Any changes made will be updated for report viewers as soon as the changes are saved.
FAQs
Can I combine any demographics?
Yes, you can use any demographics that were selected as included demographics when the survey was launched. If you need an additional demographic added to reporting after launch, start a support conversation — we’ll be happy to help.
What if a combination doesn't reach the reporting group minimum (RGM)?
The report will still follow the confidentiality rules set on your survey, so if a combined report does not reach this minimum, results will not be accessible or shareable.
Can these reports still be exported?
Yes! These reports function just like other shared reports you may have created in the past, and will have the same export options including xlsx, csv and powerpoint (if enabled).
