QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSE COLLECTION · Workflow idea

Collect useful questionnaire responses with care for the people answering.

Present a clearly explained set of questions, collect responses for a defined purpose, and organize them for an authorized reviewer. Ask only for information that is needed, explain how responses will be used, limit access and retention, and require a person to review any customer-facing message, reminder, or follow-up before it is sent.

Keep in mind

Questionnaire responses may reveal personal or sensitive information. Confirm a suitable purpose and participant notice, collect the minimum necessary, restrict access, set a retention limit, and use an authorized human reviewer for sensitive interpretation or follow-up. Approve the exact message and recipient before sending a reminder, resource, or other customer-facing communication.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define the collection purpose and audience

Identify who may answer, who owns the questionnaire, and how responses will support the stated purpose.

Review questions and participant notice

Remove unnecessary questions and explain voluntary participation, use, access, and contact options.

Set access, retention, and deletion rules

Limit response access to authorized reviewers and decide when records should be deleted or de-identified.

Assign response and communication reviewers

Name who handles sensitive answers and who approves reminders, resources, and other follow-up messages.
