How are results shared to LL6? Does LL5 see LL6’s Pulse results? What about HR?

Of course why lie
If you submit on the Ford network or from a Ford device, nothing is anonymous!
Working in market research and having dealt with all kinds of survey software, your IP address is tracked by nearly all survey software....and it's typically the higher end packages that provide access to IP addresses to the license holder. Mainly to ensure you don't respond twice, but with your IP address it's easy to figure out who responded and how.
Don’t wait for a survey. Bad scores equal more work on your part. Tell the truth face to face. Hiding or thinking you are hiding is a poor plan to impart change.
The Pulse survey is one of the most important feedback tools we have at Ford Motor Company.
You are only hurting yourselves by refusing to participate openly and honestly.
read the fine print.
People who asks questions on anonymous websites deserve the answers they believe.
Pulse improvement = free coffee. Problem solved!
Ford utilizes a third party to administrator and collate the results. You need at least 5 responses for a people leader to get results for their specific team. Else the data is summarized up to the next level.
People can complain all they want about what they think they know from rumors they heard from peers or theories on what coincidences may occur after taking the survey.
The survey is anonymous, so share to your hearts content. Worried about data secrecy then don't take it, but at the same time don't complain about the issues and lack of solutions
Think about this real hard people. Nothing is anonymous anymore in this world.
absolutely not!
I know this for a fact.
My manager went psycho on my for leaving a bad review.
Of course I denied it but he insisted "I know it's you"
They are absolutely anonymous. The aggregate data is reviewed.
Absolutely use this survey to share your feelings. Be specific.
This is the only way that things will change.
No. Don’t believe for a second that they are
I gave my supervisor an excellent review. After he was promoted a year later to a new assignment he made a point a visiting me at the office and actually quoted a statement I had made on the pulse survey. This made me realize, good or bad, our thoughts aren't confidential. I don't think this was a coincidence since specific words were repeated from my pulse comments. I've left Ford a few years back but this experience always troubled me.
I don't know about Ford, but when I didn't turn in a survey at the company that I used to work for my manager knew who to ask for it. It wasn't just a guess either.
No - just agree even if you don’t. If you really want to protest put neither agree nor disagree.
Don’t be a stupidvisor. Of course the survey is not anonymous.
Enough with the tin foil hats. It is anonymous, but…. When you complain about some issue all year and then bring it up with the same points, we know who wrote it. People also tend to have idiosyncrasies in how they write that show up on the text responses. As for the scale selection responses, this is similar in the sense that the lower level LLs are familiar with their team and know who who will put “very dissatisfied” to certain answers and kind of figure out where most others fall.
Now, as a supervisor, the value the survey gives me is that it gives some data I can go to upper managaement with to justify certain issues. My LL4 pays more attention to issues raised in the survey since they are also visibility to his boss. When it’s me telling him about problems, it just stops with him.
Yes. In fact, Ford computer forensics isn't tracking you at all! -wink wink-
The results are aggregated into scores anonymously. But what typically happens is any low scores results in assignments and meetings to ‘fix’ the problem. IE let the beatings begin until morale improves
Absolutely not. I told the truth on one a couple years after I started with the company. I ended up having an “impromptu” meeting with some high hat HR guy from downtown.
lol. Never has been never will be.
In a company where there are only b oot lic kers and back sta bbers do you really think there is anonymity?
Its just a way to identify who has a different view so that they can list them for layoffs
No. Nothing is.
The pulse survey was not “completely” anonymous. This has been the case for the last few years if you read the fine print of it. If LLs want to know who wrote something bad about them, they can. But, the persons’s are not listed on the side of their survey feedback.
