Data mapping is required to ensure access to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) attributes in survey results. This article highlights key steps to complete this mapping. This guidance will help ensure that demographic filters are mapped with survey results. If you have any other questions, please read the FAQs or reach out to CustomerSupport@worktango.com.
How To Map Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DE&I) Demographic Data
DE&I data mapping allows you to gain deeper insights into the employee experience by analyzing survey results across different demographic groups with filters.
To request DE&I data mapping, please provide the survey name, relevant questions, and any specific mapping specifications that may differ from the recommended template to the WorkTango Support team.
Our team will then analyze the data and provide you with valuable insights into the sentiment of different employee groups. Please allow up to 2 weeks for the mapping to be completed.
