Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see the survey results?

In November 2025, Human Resources published overall results for the Unified Personnel System in the Pen newsletter and on this webpage.

Your organization’s results will be shared by your leadership. Each Appointing Authority has received their results from our third-party vendor Polco and will share the information with their employees.

When can I expect to begin seeing changes following the 2025 survey?

The first steps are to communicate survey results with employees and begin identifying focus areas and action plans based on your department’s results.

Was the survey really anonymous?

YES! Your responses are 100% anonymous. An outside vendor, Polco, conducted the survey. Neither Human Resources nor your manager can see names or individual responses. Polco only reported summarized data to Pinellas County.

Responses from groups of fewer than 10 individuals was rolled into a larger aggregate group and then reported by Polco to Pinellas County. This includes small work groups with 10 or fewer employees. These employees’ responses were grouped with their division or department.

When you participate in the Employee Voice Survey conducted by Polco, your personally identifiable information is safe, never shared, and never associated with the feedback or input you provide. View Polco’s entire Privacy Policy.

What if I have questions?

Please email our vendor Polco at nes@polco.us regarding questions.

When and how was the survey distributed?

On Monday, August 18, 2025, employees received the first message in their work email from our third-party vendor Polco with a unique link to the electronic survey. Reminder emails were sent by Polco weekly. Employees had 3 weeks to complete the survey.

When did the survey close?

The deadline to complete the survey was 11:59 p.m. on Monday, September 8, 2025.

Were the questions the same as last time?

The questions were very similar to the previous surveys in 2017, 2019, 2021, and 2023 to allow data comparison.

Will individual results be shared?

No. Individual survey submissions are confidential and were not provided to Human Resources, managers, supervisors, directors, or Appointing Authorities in such a way that individual responses are discernible.

Each Appointing Authority received a summary of results to be shared with the leadership team, managers, and employees. This data will be used to plan actions that need to be taken as a result of the survey. This summary looks at trends and protects individual responses.

Will comments be shared with managers?

Comments were shared with the top leaders (Appointing Authorities). At the discretion of the Appointing Authority, survey comments may be released to employees.

When is the next survey?

The survey is done every 2 years, and we expect to launch the next Employee Voice Survey in 2027.
