What should be our target response rate? (or – Is there a minimum response rate required?)

A higher response rate means the results are more likely to be representative of the target group. Typically, over 80% is excellent and less than 20% incurs a risk that the responses are not representative of all employees.

The recomended number of respondants (per group) is >5. However, the minumum number for reporting to ensure confidentiality is 3 respondants (per group).
