You don’t need to know which employees participated to calculate a percentage based on number of submissions / total number of employees, but yeah, never assume any feedback to company surveys is anonymous.

What they always do is send out personalized links, and they can see who responded by checking which links clicked through and completed the survey.

So it's just flatly not anonymous.

Email the group, "Some of us took the survey links we were sent and swapped them with each other, will that be a problem?"

Make management try and explain why you need to use your specific personal link for the anonymous survey.

Your answers may still be anonymous, even if they can tell wether or not you answered.

It could easily be anonymous. but it could just as easily be not-anonymous.

That is true. I do believe they need to be able to tell wether or not an specific employee has participated though, to make sure an employee doesn't answer twice, or even 20 times. If a survey is 100% anonymous, with nothing tying anyone to anything, any employee could simply invalidate the results by spamming the survey. You'd need to be able to somehow tell wether or not an employee has answered more than once.

The correct and ethical way to do it is obviously randomised links, that can't be traced back to the individual person, with no registration of who the links were sent to. Not that any company has ever done anything the correct or ethical way though. I'm just saying, there needs to be some way to make sure the results are actually an accurate repressentation.
