      Bubble Chart with Topic Drill Down and Sentiment

      What is the Bubble Chart?

      The Bubble Chart is an interactive visualization that helps you understand how employees feel about different topics in their open text survey responses.
      Each bubble represents a topic, showing both how many responses were received and the average sentiment (negative, neutral, or positive).

      • Bubble size → number of responses for that topic

      • Bubble color → overall sentiment (green = positive, yellow = neutral, red = negative)

      • Bubble position → sentiment placement from negative (left) to positive (right)

      This allows you to see at a glance which topics matter most and how employees feel about them.

      How does it work?

      1. Open the Bubble Chart in your dashboard.

      2. Hover over bubbles to see quick statistics.

      3. Click on a bubble to drill down into individual employee responses.

        • All available responses for that topic are shown.

        • Responses are displayed according to user permissions and survey anonymity settings.

      4. Read the AI-generated summary below the chart for a quick overview of all feedback included.

      Why is this useful?

      • Identify sentiment patterns: Quickly see which areas employees feel positively or negatively about.

      • Understand the “why”: Drill down into real employee comments.

      • Prioritize actions: Focus on the topics with the strongest negative sentiment or the most responses.

      Permissions & Anonymity

      • Anonymity safeguard: The highest text anonymity threshold of any survey related to questions included in the chart is applied to the entire chart.

      • Permissions safeguard: Only responses that the viewing user has permission to see are included.

      Example Use Cases

      • Post-change monitoring: After a new policy or initiative, check how employees react.

      • Trend tracking: Compare work-life balance sentiment before and after implementing remote work.

      • Spotting issues early: Detect emerging concerns in areas like fairness or tools & resources.

      👉 Tip: Combine the Bubble Chart insights with your initiative tracking. When you make changes based on feedback, check the chart again to see if sentiment improves.
