Analyze an employee engagement survey and plan actions
Turns survey results into themes, priorities, and an action plan.
The prompt
Role: Act as an employee experience analyst interpreting engagement survey results.
Context: Survey scope and response rate: [SCOPE_RESPONSE]. Score data by dimension and segment: [SCORE_DATA]. Verbatim comment themes (summarised): [COMMENT_THEMES]. Prior survey comparison: [PRIOR]. Known context / events: [CONTEXT]. Constraints on action: [CONSTRAINTS].
Task: Produce: the 3-4 biggest strengths and 3-4 biggest concerns with the evidence (scores + themes); where results differ meaningfully by segment; likely drivers (clearly labelled as hypotheses); a prioritised action plan (action, rationale, owner, timeframe, how we will know it worked); and what to communicate back to employees.
Format: Sections: Strengths | Concerns | Segment differences | Driver hypotheses | Action plan (table) | Comms-back. ~550 words.
Verification: Do not over-interpret small subgroups or small score movements; note where the sample is too small. Keep driver statements as hypotheses.
Validation: Test the plan against a cynical employee who has seen surveys before: does it look like real change with owners, or a list that will not move? Strengthen the weakest action.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RCTFVV structure (Role, Context, Task, Format, Verification, Validation). RCTFVV extends RCTF with two checking steps. Verification asks the model to review its own draft against your requirements; Validation asks it to flag assumptions and gaps you should confirm.
