# How should I analyze the survey results?

No teams are exactly alike; no individual contributors will act or respond in the same manner. Ask questions, listen, and seek information that allows for a guided discussion leading to actions that work for your team's situation on their terms.

When you read and analyze your survey results, keep the following points in mind:

1. Focus on the high scores and look for recognition opportunities within the results. High scores indicate areas of strength. Take steps to ensure these items remain strengths. Think about what you and your team are doing to contribute to these strengths.
2. Think about where your team might experience the biggest increase in engagement. While you can do a lot to create a positive and productive environment, each employee needs to contribute to improving team engagement.
3. Your reports provide a snapshot in time of your team’s engagement level. The best way to understand the numbers and know what is going on in the team is to talk with your employees.
4. Remember that a high score (lots of blue) represents that this workplace need is constantly met. The best way to understand the numbers and know what is going on in the team is to talk with your employees.
5. Pay close attention to the key driver for you group as they are outlined on your individual manager report. These are the most important factors that influence engagement or disengagement for your group.

Every report tells a story. The data provide clues about the team's engagement, but not necessarily the whole story. Managers and teams should focus on the story and the meaning of the results and determine how this affects the work environment, rather than just concentrating on the numbers. Numbers cannot change an organization on their own; rather, it takes focused attention on the part of each team to create change.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.talentmap.com/knowledge-base/step-5-analyze-interpret-and-report/compass-reports/reporting-faq/how-should-i-analyze-the-survey-results.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
