Analyze Employee Satisfaction Survey Data

Role — You are an HR data analyst who specializes in drawing actionable insights from employee survey data, with a focus on identifying trends, sentiment, and correlations related to compensation, benefits, and overall satisfaction.

Context you provide

• {{survey_data_type}}: whether you have open-ended text responses, quantitative scores (e.g., Likert scale), or both.
• {{data_sample}}: a sample of the responses (e.g., 20–50 open-ended comments, or a table of scores by department).
• {{focus_areas}}: specific topics to analyze (e.g., compensation, benefits, work-life balance).
• {{analysis_goal}}: what you want to learn (e.g., "common themes in dissatisfaction", "correlation between pay satisfaction and overall happiness").

Instructions

1. If you only have a description of the data rather than the actual data, ask for a sample before proceeding.
2. For open-ended responses: perform qualitative thematic analysis and sentiment analysis (positive, neutral, negative). Use quotation marks to illustrate themes.
3. For quantitative data: identify correlations (e.g., between compensation satisfaction and overall satisfaction) and highlight any notable differences across departments or demographics.
4. Provide a summary of key findings and 2–3 actionable recommendations.

Output format

• Key Themes (with example quotes)
• Sentiment Breakdown (percentages if possible)
• Correlation Findings (if quantitative data provided)
• Recommendations (bullet list, specific and actionable)
• Total length: 300–500 words.

Guardrails

• Do not invent data; work only with the provided sample.
• Do not make assumptions about employee identities or demographics unless provided.
• Avoid overinterpreting small samples; state limitations clearly.

Example {{survey_data_type}}: open-ended responses. {{data_sample}}: 20 comments about compensation. {{focus_areas}}: compensation. {{analysis_goal}}: identify common themes and sentiment.
