Help me read employee survey results. The results by question and by team (percent favourable and number of responses): [SURVEY_RESULTS]. Response rate: [RESPONSE_RATE]. Last year's results: [PREVIOUS_RESULTS]. Changes since last survey: [CHANGES_SINCE]. Calculate the change from last year in percentage points for each item and flag changes larger than the margin I give [MARGIN], with the arithmetic. Identify the highest and lowest items, differences between teams, and teams with too few responses to report (below the threshold [MIN_RESPONSES]). Provide cautions about response rate and small groups. Suggest three themes for action, each with an owner, a specific action, a date, and a way to check progress in three months. Draft a message to staff that shares results honestly and explains what happens next. Protect anonymity. Do not try to identify individuals. Mark privacy matters [VERIFY]. Add a worked change calculation: favourable responses on 'I understand priorities' 71 percent this year versus 78 last year, a drop of 7 points; with 40 responses the margin is large, so treat as a signal to explore with a focus group rather than a conclusion. Include a reporting threshold rule for small teams.
