Unfortunately, no one will trust that a work survey is anonymous. They sent it to an email address that includes my name, with a unique link. And it's often possible to just infer who it is.


I like my employer very much but still do not trust that their frequent employee surveys are anonymous. But since managers get grief for low response rates, I do the surveys, but skip each of the questions.


Well, anyonymous to who?

Do i trust that big bosses, IT, and HR can’t deanonymise my answer? Never. Obviously they can and will if they are interested.

Can the rank and file do the same? Probably not.
