Response Rate

The survey response rate is the first indication of the level of employee engagement in any organization. Of the $140$ employees invited to take the survey, $40$ responded, which is a response rate of $28\mathrm{.}5\%.$ As a rule, rates higher than $50\%$ are best, while rates lower than $40\%$ may indicate trust problems within the organization, lack of faith in leadership, and employees' reluctance to engage in improvement efforts until leadership demonstrates a clear commitment to change.
