An Unattributed Survey is the most anonymous type of survey you can take on Culture Amp. Your responses are not linked to your name, email address, employee ID, or any account information. Unless you choose to share identifying details (like writing your name or email in a comment), there’s no way to trace your responses back to you.

Yes, your responses are completely confidential and anonymous.

With Unattributed Surveys, you’ll usually receive a survey link directly from your organization, instead of through Culture Amp. Everyone uses the same link and code, and your responses are not connected to your personal data in any way.

Because of this, your answers are only shown as part of group results—never as individual responses. Just make sure you don’t include anything personally identifying (like your name or email) in your answers or comments.

Sometimes the survey may ask you to share demographic information about yourself, like your gender, age, location, or department. These are called self-reporting demographic questions.

Your answers to these help your organization understand the experiences of different groups. In most cases, these questions are optional, but it depends on how the survey was set up.

If you're unsure why a question is being asked or whether it’s required, we recommend checking in with your People or HR team.

To protect your privacy, Culture Amp uses a reporting group minimum. This means results (including comments) will only show if enough people in that group respond.

Your responses will still contribute to the overall results, but no one will be able to filter the data below the reporting group minimum number set for the survey.

Your organization sets this minimum number. You can view what the reporting settings are by clicking “settings for this survey” on the survey’s Welcome screen.

Reporting Rules explain how responses will be grouped and shown in results. These rules can vary depending on how your organization set up the survey.

There, you’ll find details like the reporting group minimum and whether comments will be included.

To help control who can access the survey, you’ll need to enter an authorization code when opening the link. This code is usually a random set of characters and is provided by your organization.

The code is typically shared via email or another internal communication by your internal HR team. If you didn’t receive a code or yours isn’t working, reach out to your People or HR team to get the correct one.

Your survey link is sent directly by your organization—most often by email.

If you can’t find it or didn’t receive one, your People or HR team can help you get access.

The DEI Survey was created by Culture Amp’s data experts in collaboration with social scientists from Paradigm, with input from industry leaders.

The questions are designed to explore topics like:

Some questions are based on research, while others reflect patterns seen in previous Culture Amp surveys.

Your responses will be combined with others and analyzed as a group. This helps your organization identify focus areas for improving diversity, equity, and inclusion.

To make real progress, it's important to understand how people from different backgrounds experience the workplace—and this survey helps capture that.

Every organization handles survey results differently. If you want to be involved in follow-up actions, reach out to the team running the survey—usually your People or HR team.

Keep an eye out for your survey invitation email—that team will likely be the best contact for next steps.
