1. What is a Survey report

Step 3: Interpret Data
At this point, you have all your information ready and baked. It time to eat!
By eating, we mean inferring what you found out from the collected data. Observe your findings with supporting facts and figures and also think about the next step/recommendations to make a change.
But hey, we can’t eat before presenting the dishes first. Presentation is an important element!
However, not every survey report is presented the same way. This leads us to the next step…
Step 4: Recognise the Type of Survey Report
There are various kinds of survey reports, depending on the nature and objective of the survey. Recognize what type your survey falls into. Some common ones include:

• 
  Employee Satisfaction Survey: This is done to determine the opinion of the employees regarding the workspace. It helps in increasing employee motivation and makes them feel heard.
  
• 
  Customer Satisfaction Survey: You must have come across one of these in your life. Many restaurants, salons, companies ask their customers to fill out a form giving feedback.
  
• 
  Market Research Survey: This type of survey is performed to find out the preferences and demographics of the target audience. It also helps with competitor research.
  
• 
  Social Survey: This is a survey conducted to find out stats about social topics such as climate change, waste management, poverty, etc.
  

Step 5: Structure of the Survey Report

• 
  Title Page
  

Add the title of your survey, name of the organization, date of submission, name of the mentor, etc.

• 
  Background and Objective
  

Provide a background of the topic at hand, giving insight as to why this survey is conducted. The reason behind it is known as the objective of the report.

• 
  Methodology
  

Your methodology should tell the readers about the methods you used to conduct the survey, channels used to spread it, and the ways used to analyze the received data.

• 
  Conclusion
  

The conclusion should contain a detailed picture of your findings. It includes listing what you determined by the survey in form of facts, figures, and statistics.

• 
  Recommendation
  

Give the reader the next step or CTA (call to action) in your survey report. After sharing the survey and analyzing the results, offer some insightful recommendations to make a change, amend or implicate something.
For instance, to improve employee satisfaction and communication, we can hold a weekly town hall meeting.

• 
  Appendices
  

Include detailed information that is too long/complicated to put in the report but is used or referred to in the report. It may include long mathematical calculations, tables of raw data, in-depth charts, etc.

• 
  References
  

Make sure to properly credit every source that you extracted information from. This is very important as the absence of references puts a threat of plagiarism in your report.
