Understanding the Distribution View in Engagement Reports

The Distribution tab in Eletive’s engagement reports gives you a deeper layer of insight into how your team has answered the survey. It is available in both segment-level and organization-level reports and can also be accessed under each driver or question in the Driver Results view.

What does the Distribution view show?

The Distribution tab displays a visual breakdown of the responses submitted in the survey, helping you understand how answers are spread out—not just the average score.

Each bar in the distribution represents a different driver or question, and is made up of colored blocks:

• Intense red indicates very low scores (1)

• Light red indicates low scores (2)

• Yellow represents neutral scores (3)

• Light green represents high scores (4)

• Intense green indicates very high scores (5)

This allows you to quickly see if a result is polarized (a mix of low and high scores) or more consistent (answers gathered around one score range).

Why is this important?

While the average score gives you an overview, the Distribution view helps you identify:

• Misalignment within the team

• Hidden dissatisfaction or uncertainty masked by averages

• Drivers or questions that may need a closer look

For example, an average score of 3.1 might seem neutral, but if the distribution shows many answers of 1 and 5, that signals a divided perception worth discussing further.

Where can I find it?

You’ll find the Distribution tab:

• Next to the segment and organization engagement index
  
  
• Next to the eNPS score
  

• Under each driver in the Engagement report

• Under each individual question within a driver
  

• You can access it from both segment reports and the overall organizational report.
