What can I learn from this page? | How to add question branching for the psychosocial health template |
Who is this guide for? | Account Admins, Survey Admins, Survey Creators |
Additional branching is recommended for the psychosocial health template to provide further detail related to the experience of inappropriate behaviors and exposure to risk factors in the workplace. This additional level of detail will provide insights related to severity of exposure, reporting, and utilization of supports.
To build the branching, create a new survey and select the ‘Psychosocial Health’ template. Configure your survey by selecting the questions tab, and select ‘edit questions’
Go to the ‘Work Behaviors and Environment’ section heading. Here you can add additional commentary related to accessing supports or reporting mechanisms that are appropriate in your organization (example below).
For each question listed in this section, you can add additional branching for those employees who respond with responses other than ‘never’. Remember to check the relevance and suitability of these questions with your legal team before collecting data.
