The Survey Trap: Why Staff Don’t Trust “Anonymous” Surveys
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.

Instead of building trust, surveys can erode it when leaders take feedback personally or turn results into blame sessions.
Because surveys don’t build trust. Leaders do.
