Only what surveys need

Sparkbay imports only what it needs to send surveys and group results: name, work email, mobile number, employee number, manager, department, location, job title, hire date, date of birth and gender.

Teams and managers for your results

The departments, locations and managers in Employer D give you results by team, department and location, and access to them can follow your org chart.
