Frequently Asked Questions
How do you measure engagement anonymously?
We have robust anonymity rules that are designed to 100% protect the identity of your b-Heard survey respondents, preventing any single employee’s response from being exposed. We give your employees the confidence to share honest feedback about their experience at work. Learn how we keep our survey anonymous.
What is a Best Companies Index (BCI) score?
The Best Companies Index (BCI) measures employee engagement via the b-Heard survey. This score determines your recognition/accreditation level, from Ones to Watch up to 3-Star. It benchmarks performance nationally, regionally and by sector, spotlighting organisations through feedback. See our accreditations.
How many survey statements must be asked to be accredited?
Using factor analysis, we have identified 24 core statements that capture the lived employee experience. Including all 24 statements in your b-Heard survey is essential to receive an official Best Companies Index (BCI) score and achieve a Best Companies Accreditation.
Can I include more statements in the survey?
We have a bank of 120+ statements that can be included. These optional statements allow you to explore specific areas of the employee lived experience in more detail. While providing additional insight, responses provided will have no effect on the overall BCI score.
How are the statements answered?
All statement responses use a 7-point Likert scale, ranging from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree. This approach ensures a nuanced understanding of employee sentiment, giving you a comprehensive, accurate view of your organisation’s employee engagement culture to drive meaningful improvement.
When should you measure engagement?
Measuring engagement should be an ongoing priority, starting with actively listening to your people and taking meaningful action. Learn how leading organisations like Danske Bank, Roadchef and Go Ape use survey data to improve performance, enhance Organisational Health and drive lasting cultural change.
