Survey Questions - 2024

Peter Davis

Some answers from prior years seem to be from HR, which is a slightly different focus. (EX: Question #5-open comments-diverse staff)

Kay: from Women in Identity: products for everyone need to be made by everyone.

Peter: would it go to the right people if presented as a bias problem?

Geraldine: considers the themes/goals and persona of the person answering the questions (who are they answering the questions for?)

Peter: preamble to the survey explaining the goals? Would this be helpful to avoid the misrouting?

Geraldine: offers support from Interac, will take results back to team

Kay: noted distinctions with survey goals (wanted it focused on products/value in marketplace solutions, versus other survey offerings)

ACTION/Next Steps: Peter will continue to work to reframe questions in terms of target respondents and summarize results. Geraldine will also take materials back to Interac team for feedback.
