Comparison Reports

Modified on Sun, 13 Oct at 11:18 AM

Within the Comparison Reports area, there are two types of comparison reports available: Demographic Crosstab Report and the Benchmark Report. Both reports help you to compare your results to results from other respondent groups - either specific demographic segments of your survey population or benchmark populations inside or outside your organization.

Demographic Crosstab Report

This report is available only if your survey includes demographics and Favorability Type questions.

The Demographic Crosstab report enables you to break out results for questions or categories by demographic and compare results for demographic groups side by side.

The top section of the report contains the following options:

Demographic Selection	Specifies the demographic attribute to display in the report. A column displays for every option associated with the selected demographic. You can select up to three demographics. Click the plus sign to add multiple demographics.
Type	Specifies the type of analysis to be applied to the data. Available choices: Evaluation by Mean Evaluation by % Favorable Evaluation by % Neutral Evaluation by % Unfavorable Evaluation by % Top-Box Importance by Mean Importance by % Favorable Weighted Gap
Type of Color-Coding	Specifies the color-coding format to highlight differences in the results. Available choices: Relative (Compared to each other) Absolute (Compared to absolute threshold) Trend (Significance of change) Trend (Actual change) Outliers (Compared to overall) Internal Comparison (significance of difference) For detailed explanations about each color coding option, see the Color Codes article.
Decimal Places	Specifies the number of decimals to display in the results.
Trend Score	Specifies inclusion of a trend score in the results (if trend is configured for the survey).
Column Ordering	Specifies the column order (Default Order, Low to High, or High to Low).
Selected Categories	Specifies the categories to be included in the analysis.
Transpose Results	Reverses the information for the table axes. For example, if the results show questions vertically on the left and demographics horizontally across the top, transposing changes the display to show demographics vertically on the left and questions horizontally across the top.
Apply Changes	Applies the options you specify.

The body of the report shows the results in a table format. Click the Questions tab to see results for every question; click the Categories tab to see results for each category.

The following example shows an evaluation by % Favorable for all questions, broken out for two demographics – region and job level.

The following example shows the same options for categories.

Note: The Demographic Crosstab Report uses exclusion rule filtering to prevent users from identifying scores for groups below the minimum threshold by requiring the remainder of the filter to also meet the minimum threshold. For more details, see the Exclusion Rule Filtering article.

Benchmark Report

Benchmarks provide valuable context to help guide results interpretation. Benchmarks can answer common questions such as “Is this a normal score? Is it unusually high or unusually low? How do other companies in our industry respond to this type of question?”

The Benchmark Report displays question/category scores compared to benchmark(s) where available. If more than one benchmark is available, you can select the benchmark(s) in the Selected Benchmark Comparisons dropdown (top right).

The Benchmark Report report is available only if your listening event contains items from the Perceptyx Question Library. Available benchmark comparisons depend on which benchmarks your company selects/purchases.

Perceptyx can provide benchmark data in a variety of cuts and measures. To learn more about the Perceptyx Benchmark Database and our benchmark data process, see the Benchmarks article.
