The Institute for Employment Research (IAB), the German Federal Employment Agency’s research institute, is conducting an online survey about its German and English online offering in order to tailor it even more closely to your needs and requirements. We would therefore like to find out your views, wishes and suggestions.
Why is your participation important?
Your participation in the survey is, of course, voluntary. However, in order for the IAB to meet the needs of users with its German and English-language website, it is very important that as many of you as possible take part in the survey. We therefore kindly request your participation in this survey, which will contribute to the further development of our website.
How does the survey work?
The online survey will run until 10 October 2025. It will be conducted and evaluated by Rhenus :people! Solingen GmbH/TEMA Marketing-Service, a service provider commissioned by the IAB.
The questionnaire is available in both German and English. It takes about ten minutes to answer the questions. You enter your responses by inputting the relevant information on your computer or mobile device. While taking the survey, you can navigate back and forth between the questions.
Your responses will remain anonymous. You can stop participating in the survey at any time until you submit your survey responses (survey data) on the last page. Any data entered prior to this will be deleted without further processing. You can also leave individual questions unanswered.
Is data protection guaranteed?
An internet browser with an encrypted connection will be used for the survey. During the online survey, your responses will be anonymised and saved automatically. Personal contact information (email address, home address) will not be collected. No host names or IP addresses will be captured and stored in the survey results. No information about your device or your location will be captured.
The survey will not be evaluated on a person-specific basis. It will not be possible to match the responses to individual participants. Information entered in text fields will be analysed and grouped into categories; these results will not contain any personal data either.
The anonymised data collected in the online survey will be stored until the end of the survey on the server of the service provider engaged by the IAB and mentioned in the introduction, Rhenus :people! Solingen GmbH/TEMA Marketing-Service. All responses will be deleted once they have been evaluated.
No data will be passed on to third parties. The survey results will be used solely to improve the IAB’s internet presence.
