If your organization has between 11 and 170 employees, then everyone in your organization should to be invited to take the Scorecard but only a 70 percent return rate is needed for your results to be statistically valid. (So, if you have 100 employees, then 70 of those employees must complete the Scorecard.) The number of required completed Scorecards is calculated during the application process based on your total number of full-time and part-time regular employees.
If your organization has between 5 and 10 employees, then all those employees must complete the Scorecard.
If your organization has more than 170 employees, then you have a choice between two survey approaches:
- You may either send the Scorecard to all your employees and only a 70 percent return rate is needed, OR
- You may choose to send the Scorecard to a random sample of your organization's employees and then 100 percent of those surveyed would need to complete the Scorecard.
If you choose the random sample option, the size of the random sample will be calculated during the application process based on the total number of employees in your organization. Your Scorecard Administrator will also be provided with instructions for generating the random sample.
