Walkthrough of the Risk Map

A guide on using the Risk Map in Woba Analytics

Introduction

In the Risk Map, you can get an in-depth overview of data from a survey divided into departments and categories. The Risk Map is an obvious tool for comparing data and identifying risks and resources across departments so that you can quickly identify where immediate action is needed.

This introduction to the Risk Map will address and explain the following points.

You can click one of the points above that you would like to have elaborated to scroll directly to it.

The outermost column of the Risk Map shows which department the data in the columns next to belongs to. The top row under Departments is a Total Score for the entire company or the selected filtering. You can read more about the total score and the scores in the Risk Map further down.



Filtering options

You can choose which survey and which departments you want to have included in the Risk Map, in the filter bar at the top of the screen. Results from ongoing surveys are updated in real-time, so you are always up-to-date.

You must press Search before a selected filter takes effect.

If you want to filter on more variables than just survey and departments, you can click Filter (the funnel) on the right side. This will allow you to select some more options. Among other things, you can choose a Benchmark survey, and filter by gender, age, length of service, and location. You can read more about the filtering options in Woba here.

When you have selected the desired filtering and clicked search, the Risk Map will be updated.

Data from a filter is only shown if there are enough answers in relation to the anonymity limit for the survey. If there are not enough answers, they will be shown in the Risk Map, as in the picture below.



Participation

The participation column shows how large a proportion of employees from the department or the selected filtering have responded to the survey. The percentage can be interpreted as how many responses the data in the columns next to it are based on. At the top of each cell, you can see the percentage of survey participation and below how many employees have answered the survey out of the total number of employees in the department.

The anonymity limit is set to 3 by default for all surveys. If there are fewer than 3 responses for a department or filtering, data will therefore not be displayed in the Risk Map.



Total Score

The Total score column shows the total average for all categories from the selected survey for each department or filtering. The total score is shown as a number from 0 to 4. You can read more about how we measure scores here.

Next to the total score, either a green or red number is displayed in parentheses. This number indicates how much the average for the department varies from the total score average across the entire company. If the average for the department is below the company average, it will be a red negative number. Conversely, if the average for the department is above the company's average, it will be a green positive number.



Change since the last survey

The column change since the last survey makes it possible to compare the results from a survey across departments with a similar previous survey - e.g. a Workplace assessment survey from two different years. To make data show in this column, select a Benchmark survey in the filtering that you want to compare with.



Data in the Risk Map

At first glance, the Risk Map can be an overwhelming image of a lot of numbers and data. However, you can quickly get a good overview of the various data and use the Risk Map as an indispensable tool. The Risk Map is divided into colors, which indicate which categories are respectively low, medium and high risk in each department.

The colors can be interpreted as follows:

🟢 LOW RISK - These are resources at your workplace

🟡 MEDIUM RISK - There is room for improvement

🔴 HIGH RISK - Improvements should be made immediately

Above the colored scores, at the top of the Risk Map, you can see the overall category and below which subcategory the questions for the score belongs to. You can scroll up and down or drag the bar at the bottom and side of the Risk Map to display more data if it cannot all be displayed on the screen. You can also use CTRL + (+) or (-) to zoom in and out on Windows computers and CMD + (+) or (-) on Mac.

All the colored fields in the Risk Map are interactive and if you click on them, you get a lot of in-depth information about a certain topic and shortcuts to do a number of things, such as download recommendations and create action plans. You can learn more about how to read the Risk Map and its data, as well as understanding the data each interactive field contains.
